You need to create the trigger on the table for where you want it to fire when a new record is inserted (Tutor in this case).
Additionally you need to remember that inserts/update statements can affect multiple rows so assigning to scalar variables won't work. The trigger you need is
CREATE TRIGGER YourTrigger
ON [dbo].[Tutor]
AFTER INSERT
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
INSERT INTO pays
(idtutor,
nopay,
datex,
paythismonth)
SELECT idtutor,
600,
GETDATE(),
'no'
FROM inserted
END
You will also need to drop the other trigger in your question with DROP TRIGGER [dbo].[addpay]
