You still haven't complete your time. Why are you leaving?
For example, my tutor left 15 minutes before time's up.
Is it correct to say:
- You still haven't completed your time. Why are you leaving?
- You need to complete your time before you leave.
Thank you.

YES! For example, you can ask that question if you've paid someone for a service. "May I ask why are you leaving a bit early? We've still got 15 minutes left/ We still have 15 minutes left." <-- One of the respectful ways you can ask a question which won't make the person feel annoyed or force interrogated.

Matt, you can also put your question across in this way: We have 15 minutes TO GO for our lesson. Why are you leaving?
("to go" expresses some time left before an activity ends.

Yes, it is correct and your tutor would understand. You can also say: We still have 15 minutes left before the lessons ends, why are you leaving now?
Hope this helps!

it's correct but not natural.
You should say 'the time's not up yet - we have another 15 mins' or something.
Or 'we haven't finished the lesson'
(did the teacher wrongly think it was a 45-min lesson?)
