Also, current policies and media promote concept of the “aging successfully” involving activism ideas and productivity, postulated as normative for developments in elderly. Limit of this perspective is given by special dynamics of motivation, cognition, willpower, sociability, that alter the idea of a normative productivity and successful aging and requires a change of his coordinates and substituting it with the "aging harmonious". The reasons for this change of perspective directions come from developmental psychology, cultural psychology, gerontology. This paper examines the social demand of the elderly depending on which way they can build their productivity. One of the analyzed offers is that of experience that can be harnessed. Tutoring relies heavily on the transfer of experience between generations or between experts and novices. Education in last year put great emphasis on this phenomenon. As custodians of experience and wisdom, older people become landmarks of tutoring. They may be involved in such a diverse educational and formative situations - from behavioral problems like free time management, communication, control of aggression, to offer career counseling, career guidance or even insider- disciple relationship, the promotion and development high-level skills, or in the role of "therapists" and "trainers" of their community
