I want to write a new class based on the article class for student home-works that needs a modified title page.
Is it possible to create new macros like title and author that can be used in the modified maketitle code (e.g. tutor and dueDate) without editing the latex.ltx file?
In the question How to make a new command similar to author the class that is worked on is memoir.cls while I'm trying to modify the article.cls. Furthermore the best solution given is by adding new information to author macro and not on how to add new macros that are ready to use in the preamble.

In latex.ltx, there are two lines related to author:
defauthor#1gdef@author#1
def@author@latex@warning@no@lineNo noexpandauthor given
Then you can always have
documentclassarticle
makeatletter
deftutor#1gdef@tutor#1
def@tutor@latex@warning@no@lineNo noexpandtutor given
makeatother
begindocument
tutorAl Fh
makeatletter@tutormakeatother
enddocument
Now customize your maketitle with this command @tutor, like
documentclassarticle
usepackagearray
makeatletter
deftutor#1gdef@tutor#1
def@tutor@latex@warning@no@lineNo noexpandtutor given
renewcommandmaketitle%
begincenter
