When you’re officially a MyTutor tutor, you’ll mainly be supporting GCSE and A-Level pupils to prepare for their exams. Some of this work might include helping them with exam-style questions, as well as covering the course content they need to answer them.
We’ve prepared a list of questions for you to use for your Q&A to showcase how you’d help your pupils in lessons. Choose one in a subject you'd be tutoring from this list for you to teach in your Q&A.

Remember to pretend like you’re teaching a student in a lesson - we know it can feel silly, but the more you pretend, the easier your teaching skills will come through.
