W3Schools does a good job of explaining this here

Your code might look something like this.

 <select name="TutorGender" id="TutorGender">
      <option value="Male" <?php if($Gender == "Male") echo "selected"; ?>>Male</option>
      <option value="Female" <?php if($Gender == "Female") echo "selected"; ?>>Female</option>
 </select>

Though my PHP syntax may be a little off, but you should get the idea.
