[a/the] substitute tutor, Jack Taylor
I have written the scenario below.
Suppose that you are working in a school as a substitute tutor. It has at least thirty tutors. You have been booked to substitute for a tutor who is sick today. First, you need to go to the administration office to get the key for your classroom. This is what you are going to say.
(1) I am a substitute tutor, John Brown.
(2) I am the substitute tutor, John Brown.
Some of my non-native English speaking friends think (1) is correct because there is more than one substitute tutor in your school. My other friends think (2) is correct without giving an explanation.
Please help me. Thank you very much.
