Crossword Genius

New tiro, learner within day working with skill (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adroitly

'with skill' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'new tiro learner within day working' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'learner' becomes 'l' (**).
'within' is an insertion indicator.
'working' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tiro' anagrammed gives 'roit'.
'roit'+'l'='roitl'
'day' with letters rearranged gives 'ady'.
'roitl' put inside 'ady' is 'ADROITLY'.

(Other definitions for adroitly that I've seen before include "Quickly and skilfully" , "Dexterously" , "Cleverly, skilfully" , "in masterly fashion" , "With dexterity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
