When having Sphinx's Tutelage on the board, I've found that it works each turn that you draw a card. It also works with Anchor to the Aether's "draw 1 card" and Days Undoing "draw 5 cards". However it does not trigger with Tower Geist "Draw that card" or Talent of the Telepath "Draw that card".

Is there a reason for this?

    The Mtg text of these two cards:

    Target opponent reveals the top seven cards of his or her library. You may cast an instant or sorcery card from among them without paying its mana cost. Then that player puts the rest into his or her graveyard.
    Spell mastery — If there are two or more instant and/or sorcery cards in your graveyard, you may cast up to two revealed instant and/or sorcery cards instead of one.

    When Tower Geist enters the battlefield, look at the top two cards of your library. Put one of them into your hand and the other into your graveyard.

    Magic the Gathering's definition of drawing a card:

    A player draws a card by putting the top card of his or her library into his or her hand. Card drawing may also be done as part of a cost or effect of a spell or ability. If an effect moves cards from a player’s library to that player’s hand without using the word “draw”, the player has not drawn those cards.

    Perhaps these two cards should not use the word draw to avoid confusion.
