- Use our internal messaging system for all communications until you are ready to use your personal communication channels e.g. phone and email.
- On your first lesson or interview confirm each other’s identities (e.g. view driver’s licence or passport).
- If you feel uncomfortable, depending on the situation stop the lesson immediately, or finish the lesson and discontinue further lessons with that tutor or learner.
- Report any bad behaviour to TutorTower, and depending on the nature of the behaviour, also report to the relevant authorities such as the police.
Face-to-face lesson:
