Tutor also taking part in examinations (5)

I believe the answer is:
orals
'examinations' is the definition.
(oral is a kind of examination)
'tutor also taking part' is the wordplay.
'taking part' indicates a hidden word.
'ORALS' is hidden within 'tutor also'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for orals that I've seen before include "Spoken exams" , "Tests" .)
