Running your first MyTutor lesson

Running your first MyTutor session might feel a bit daunting - so we’ve put together a few tips and tricks to help you get lessons off to a flying start: 

Pre-lesson prep:

• Remind pupils of their upcoming lesson
• Make sure an IT room is booked with devices and headsets (remember that if pupils are having group lessons, each pupil will need their own device and headset)
• Print out login details for your pupils
• Ask IT to check webcams and headsets are working and that Google Chrome is installed on computers
• Have the MyTutor login link (www.mytutor.co.uk/schools/login) displayed in the room so that all pupils know where to go for their lessons

Getting started with the lesson space:

• Ask pupils to make a note of their usernames and passwords in a homework diary
• Direct pupils to www.mytutor.co.uk/schools/login 
• 5 minutes before the lesson is due to start, the ‘Launch’ button will turn blue - students just need to click this button to enter their lesson
• Pupils will be taken through a quick Set-Up Test to check that their mics and cameras work, and to test their internet speed
• They’ll then be taken into the Online Lesson Space to meet their tutor!
