This article analyzes the theoretical and methodological foundations of the integrative approach and its role in developing the social competence of prospective tutors. The integrative approach is interpreted as a key factor that ensures interdisciplinary, inter-activity, and interpersonal coherence within the educational process, thereby shaping an individual’s social experience, communication culture, and teamwork skills. The article defines social competence as an integral quality that reflects a person’s ability to establish effective communication with others, engage in constructive collaboration, and demonstrate empathy and social responsibility. Furthermore, the article substantiates the components of a pedagogical model designed to improve the tutor training system based on the integrative approach — including goals, content, methods, interactive forms, and expected outcomes. As a result, it is proven that developing social competence in future tutors deepens their professional preparedness and contributes to the formation of a humanistic, reflective, and empathetic pedagogical environment in the educational process.
