The question is valid but this is an application problem, not a server
problem.

Thanks for the OS and Tomcat version information. I'd recommend you
include the version of Java you are using as well. Generally, the Tomcat
version is the most useful, followed by the Java version and then the OS
information.

OK. Tomcat will decode those %nn sequences before mapping the request to
a servlet so Tomcat will see:
/webApp-hi5/${pageContext.request.contextPath}/addTutor

The EL has not been processed. It has been treated as template text.
Since the string does not start with '/' it has been treated as relative
to the current page (which I assume was '/webApp-hi5/something').
You need to find out why the EL in the form isn't being processed as EL.
Things to look at:
- file name
- version declared for web.xml
- the JSP specification and look for "Deactivating EL"

This appears to be relevant given what you'll find in the JSP specification.
