1. Apply here for a DBS certificate now if you haven't yet. You cannot start tutoring until you have one.

2. Fill up the new tutors form.

3. Download the Lark app (for your computer and phone) and the FreeConferenceCall desktop app - see the 'Key links' column on the previous page. Create an account and then join the Nurture Durham group chat through this link.

4. IMPORTANT: In Lark, go to Settings > Notifications and turn notifications on.

5. IMPORTANT: In FreeConferenceCall, Go to Preferences > Meeting settings and turn ‘Recording’ to ‘Auto’. This ensures you always have your lessons recorded for safeguarding, training and payroll. If you do not record a lesson, we cannot verify that the lesson happened. 

6. IMPORTANT: In FreeConferenceCall, Go to Preferences > Security and choose a 6 digit code. Share this only with your tutees. This ensures you will not have intruders entering your meetings. You can optionally go to Preferences > Meeting settings and set 'Bypass meeting lobby' to only me to create a waiting room for your students.

7. Send a message to the Nurture Durham chat on Lark introducing yourself. Don't be shy!

8. Read our online safeguarding policy.

9. Download and read through the Nurture Durham tutoring guide to understand the standard operating procedure. Keep it with you in case of any doubts while tutoring in the future.
