What is the value of @category.tutorials ( I presume this is a string
but why it is named as a plural )?

My guess is that your syntax is incorrect and you are missing the name
of the partial to render itself and also either the :object
or :collection symbols.
This is from the documentation to rendering partials, in case it
helps:
# Renders the same partial with a local variable.
render :partial =\> “person”, :locals =\> { :name =\> “david” }
# Renders the partial, making @new\_person available through
# the local variable ‘person’
render :partial =\> “person”, :object =\> @new\_person
# Renders a collection of the same partial by making each element
# of @winners available through the local variable “person” as it
# builds the complete response.
render :partial =\> “person”, :collection =\> @winners
# Renders a collection of partials but with a custom local variable
name
render :partial =\> “admin\_person”, :collection =\> @winners, :as
=\> :person
# Renders the same collection of partials, but also renders the
# person\_divider partial between each person partial.
render :partial =\> “person”, :collection =\>
@winners, :spacer\_template =\> “person\_divider”
# Renders a collection of partials located in a view subfolder
# outside of our current controller. In this example we will be
# rendering app/views/shared/\_note.r(html|xml) Inside the partial
# each element of @new\_notes is available as the local var “note”.
render :partial =\> “shared/note”, :collection =\> @new\_notes
# Renders the partial with a status code of 500 (internal error).
render :partial =\> “broken”, :status =\> 500

Is it definitely in views/tutorials rather than views/categories?
Does the alternative syntax work:
render :partial =\> “tutorials/tutorial”, :collection =\>
@category.tutorials
