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 - remember that all lessons are 50-55 minutes long! 
• Make sure an IT room is booked with devices and headsets.
  If pupils are having group lessons, each pupil will need their own device and headset
• Print out login details for your pupils via your teacher account. Read about that here!
• Ask IT to check webcams and headsets are working, and ensure that Google Chrome is installed on computers - this is where the lesson space works best! 
• Have the MyTutor login link displayed in the room so that all pupils know where to go for their lessons. This is: www.mytutor.co.uk/schools/login 

Getting started with the lesson space:

• Ask pupils to make a note of their usernames and passwords in their homework diary or planner
• Direct pupils to www.mytutor.co.uk/schools/login 
• 5 minutes before a MyTutor lesson starts, the ‘Launch’ button will turn blue - your pupils will need to click this button to enter the lesson space
• Pupils will be taken through a quick Set-Up Test that will check the mics and cameras are in order and the internet speed
• Then they’ll be taken into the Online Lesson Space to meet their tutor and start their lesson!
