If you want to say “tutoree,” that’s fine by me, but I don’t really see its superiority over “mentee” except in the purely esthetic sense that you mention, based on an esthetic judgment that I don’t share but that obviously can’t be much argued about.

You’d recommend “tutoree,” a word that I couldn’t find in any dictionary (and that gets 32,200 estimated Google hits), over “mentee,” a word that appears in several leading dictionaries (and that gets 773,000 estimated Google hits)?
