Important Things You Need Before You Begin Tutoring:
After completing an application online and attending an orientation session, you'll need to pass a background check and TB test.
We recommend going to Wellness Mart, MD, which is less than a mile away from Boost! West Oakland's classroom in downtown Oakland. Address is: Wellness Mart, MD 1409 Webster St, Oakland, CA 94612. You can get a TB test for $38. Please note that you'll need to visit twice; once to get the shot, the second to get the results read. For the $23 Live Scan test, you'll need to bring your photo ID and a Live Scan Service Request Form, which you can find below.
PRINT, COMPLETE, SUBMIT @ LiveScan Office of your choosing
Click on the upper-right hand corner of the form to your left to open it in a new tab. You'll need to take this form (Request for Live Scan Service) with you to get your Live Scan background check completed.
PRINT, COMPLETE, RETURN to Boost!
Click on the upper-right hand corner of the form to your left to open it in a new tab. You'll need to return this form (Tides Background Check Program) to Boost! that enables Tides to process your Live Scan and TB-Test paperwork.
