            $this->set('tutorials', $this->Paginator->paginate());
        }

    } 

Answer 1

Never mix component and controller pagination. Both itself work just fine, but mixing them can cause trouble as you can see.

So either don't include the component and use $paginate alone, or use

$this->Paginator->settings()

inside the actions. You can also directly pass settings in your $components array, as well.
