Given the preference for the S-SU pair in case of a tie, the minimum number of tutors required would be seven. This is because allocating tutors to cover all days with the least overlap, while prioritizing the S-SU pairing, would optimally require seven tutors to ensure coverage without exceeding the minimum necessary.
