Not at all. Vitiligo is not a contagious disease. You need not worry at all. You can continue your child's tuition with that tutor.
If this is your only concern, you can be assured that your child or anyone will not catch vitiligo from another person. No need to consult any dermatologist or doctor for this.
Next Steps
Next steps - continue with the tutor without any worry, if his tutions are good. :)

Hii
I understand your concern related to the disease but vitiligo is not at all contagious, it is an autoimmune disease. To know detail about the disease you can book an appointment and discuss with the doctor.

I can completely understand your anxiety. But, not to worry, vitiligo is not a contagious disease. It doesn’t spread by staying in close contact with the person affected by vitiligo.
