Many students come to Chegg because they are struggling in a class and they need help. Sometimes the most successful tutors are those that can relate to their students and share their experiences. Share about a time you felt discouraged by a class or an assignment and explain what strategies you used to overcome it and be successful.

"I struggled in my Introductory Psychology course when I was a freshman. One thing I did to overcome this was forming a study group. We met weekly, and that group helped me talk through my issues and helped me prepare for our exams."
