Click Add... at the bottom of the Tutors screen to add a new Tutor Account. A window appears titled, New Tutor.

As you can see, there are five “fields” in which you supply information (Figure 5.3). Some fields require information to be able to create the new Tutor Account, and some fields do not require information. Additionally, some of these fields cannot be modified after the account is created.

Important Information About Tutor IDs

The choice of a Tutor ID is very important. There are four things to keep in mind when selecting a Tutor ID.

• No two Tutor Accounts in mTrial can have the same Tutor ID. And no Tutor ID can exactly match a Student ID.
• A valid Tutor ID may contain only: letters from the English alphabet, numbers, spaces, hyphens, and apostrophes.
• A valid Tutor ID may not: begin or end with a space, contain consecutive spaces, contain consecutive hyphens, or contain consecutive apostrophes.
• A valid Tutor ID may be up to only 20 characters long. If you attempt to create a Tutor ID that does not meet the above requirements, you will receive and error message and you will not be allowed to add the Tutor Account.
