"...how should I call you?"
"Excuse me but how should I call you?"
Suppose you wanted to know how you should refer to a tutor who had not introduced himself yet. Would this be a polite and natural way to do so?
Thank you

You can also use the formal "Mr." and his last name (i.e. "Mr. Johnson") as a standard method of addressing someone. Teachers who want a specific title, often if it is less formal, will often reply and say what they prefer (i.e. "Call me Jerry").
