What is the role of adults in organizing the learning environment for their children? Is tutorial conducive to strategic behaviour? The research method is a critical literature review. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: Based on the literature review, a self-regulated learner profile was developed. The results of research concerning the influence of remarkable people from the home environment on the development of child's learning skills were presented and analyzed. It was explained how parents’ and private teachers’ activities, can support an online schooling in creating conditions conducive to learning during the period of distance education. RESEARCH RESULTS: The work presents a broad perspective on supporting the student in learning how to learn. The analyses indicate that the ability to learn can be developed in various ways by remarkable persons from the student's environment. It has also been shown that private tutors’ work with the student, does not only compensates the learning gap, but it also prepares the student for self-education. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: A remarkable adult plays a very important role in shaping self-regulated learning. The involvement and the use of the student's social resources is a key element of distance education. Therefore, raising awareness among parents about self-regulated learning should be a priority task for all educators.
