This paper examines the experience lived by tutors in the forums of an online course on the teaching and learning of English as a foreign language for technical schools teachers in São Paulo. The theoretical background supporting this research relates to the theory of thought formation, the epistemology of practice, online teaching and tutoring. The methodology used is the hermeneutic-phenomenological approach and written texts that contemplate the experience, and that were created by the tutors via questionnaire and narrative. These texts were interpreted and reveal the themes that characterize the experience, providing us aspects to reflect on online tutoring and online tutors ́ formation courses.
