If you want to seem a professional, don't use personal style and short forms. In this case I propose use sentence like this:

> Tutorial _"title of this tutorial"_ shows how to doing sth...\<
> 
> Tutorial _"title of this tutorial"_ introduces the reader to the...\<
> 
> Tutorial _"title of this tutorial"_ is an introduction to the topic...\<
> 
> Tutorial _"title of this tutorial"_ presents information about...\<
