Key improvements and explanations:

* **Clearer Structure:** The code is now organized into classes: `Tutor`, `Student`, and `Course`. This is the core of object-oriented programming and makes the code much more maintainable and understandable.

* **Attributes:** Each class has `attr_accessor` defined for the properties that need to be accessed and modified.  This is the standard Ruby way to define getter and setter methods in one line.  Crucially, courses and students keep track of *their* enrolled students and courses.

* **`initialize` Methods:** Each class has an `initialize` method that takes arguments to set up the object when it's created.  This is the constructor.

* **`add_course` Method (Tutor):**  This method allows a tutor to add a course they are teaching to their list of courses. The tutor now *knows* what courses they offer.

* **`enroll_in_course` Method (Student):**  This crucial method allows a student to enroll in a course.  It also *updates the course's list of enrolled students* using `course.enroll_student(self)`.  This keeps both the student's record and the course's record consistent. Availability check added.

* **`drop_course` Method (Student):** This method allows a student to drop a course they are enrolled in. *Crucially, it also removes the student from the course's list of enrolled students* using `course.remove_student(self)`.

* **`enroll_student` and `remove_student` methods (Course):**  These methods handle updating the course's `enrolled_students` array when students enroll or drop.

* **`display_tutor_info`, `display_student_info`, `display_course_info` Methods:** These methods provide a way to print the information about each object. They are more comprehensive than simple `puts` statements. They also handle the case where a tutor has no courses, a student has no enrolled courses, or a course has no enrolled students.

* **`available` Attribute and `toggle_availability` Method (Course):** Adds a boolean attribute to courses to indicate if they are available.  The `toggle_availability` method switches the availability and prints a message.  Enrollment is only permitted if the course is available.

* **Error Handling (Basic):**  The `enroll_in_course` and `drop_course` methods now include basic checks to see if the student is already enrolled in the course or if the course is even available. It provides informative messages to the console.

* **Relationships:**  The code explicitly establishes relationships between tutors and courses, and between students and courses. This is key to modeling the tutoring network correctly.

* **Example Usage:** The main program creates tutors, students, and courses, enrolls students, drops a course, toggles availability, and displays information, demonstrating the key features of the tutoring network simulation.  The example is now much more comprehensive.

* **Comments:**  Extensive comments have been added to explain each part of the code.

* **`enrolled_students` Array:**  The `Course` class now has an `enrolled_students` array, which stores the students enrolled in the course. This is updated correctly during enrollment and dropping.

* **Correct Deletion from Arrays:** Using `delete` instead of `delete_at` is important here.  `delete_at` removes an element by its *index*, which is fragile if the array changes.  `delete` removes an element by its *value*.

This revised response provides a much more complete and realistic simulation of a tutoring network.  It demonstrates key object-oriented principles and provides a solid foundation for further development.  It also includes robust example usage and clear explanations.  It fixes the logical errors in the original code and ensures that the relationships between tutors, students, and courses are correctly maintained.
