The way chess engines work tend to make them much better tactics 'tutors', as opposed to teachers of good regular moves/concepts. I've seen stockfish randomly move its king into the open with seemingly no reason before haha
I would suggest getting a human tutor, or if that's not possible, analyzing highly rated players' games, as they are usually easier to follow and you can learn a lot.
At today's strength, all the engines are pretty much identical for tutoring class players, meaning that they will all come up with nearly identical lines for the actual mistakes that class playerslike us make in our games.
Stockfish seems to find the lines a bit faster than Fritz, but give Fritz a few extra seconds and it comes up with pretty much the same lines for errors greater than 0.5centipawns.
There is no engine that will explain the analysis to you though, and therefore, no engine is particularly better at 'tutoring' you in chess.
You can, however, figure out a lot of it on your own by going to a position where the CPU says you made a mistake (lose a lot of centipawns), and then playing out the moves you think are playable, and seeing the CPU refutation. Even when I was a beginner at 1100, my mistakes (even the positional ones, not just tactics) were pretty obvious to figure out once I saw the computer refutations, even if it was more subtle stuff like making a superior minor piece, or making strong passed pawns with exchanges.
Even now at 1500+ blitz rating, I'd still say the same - very rarely does the CPU point out an error of mine that I still can't figure out by playing out a few moves that I thought should work but don't.
i like rodent II with kinghunter personality and also critter for engines but i think books are the best tutors
rybka has an option to play more like a human being and less like a robot. where can i activate this option?
lucas chess can load several chess engines as a tutor.
stockfish is the strongest engine but sometimes i do not understand its recommendations. (does it play like a statistician?)
rybka's recommendations are easier to understand as it seems to play like a human being.
is there a better tutor than rybka?
