Swedish term or phrase: studiehandledare
Is there an official translation for 'studiehandledare'? I'm coming across everything from tutor to study counselor, but none sound exactly right to me! Thanks

English translation:tutor, supervisor
Explanation:
I propose tutor, as that is most often used in educational contexts. Supervisor roles exist in a wide range of activities, so it is less specific.
