Volunteer tutor

We are looking for volunteers to support pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds in maths or English. As a volunteer, you'll:

• Work with 1-3 pupils to improve their English and maths, either in-person or online


• Commit to a 10-20 week programme, for just one hour a week


• Support either primary or secondary school-aged pupils


• Use our tutor workbooks to shape your weekly sessions


Good grades improve future prospects, opening the door to a wider range of opportunities. If you enjoy working with children and are passionate about social equality, you can make a tangible difference by volunteering for an hour a week.


• Have or are studying for a degree (in any subject)


• Have a B grade (or above) at A Level (or equivalent) in the subject they wish to tutor, or a similar subject


• Fluent in English as communication is key to tutoring


If your qualifications do not match these requirements, we still encourage you to apply. We take all previous experience into consideration, so please include anything you think might be relevant. We have many tutors who are employed, many part time and others who are (semi) retired and don't have many formal qualifications, so please apply and you may be invited to a short interview to find out more about you.

Enthusiasm for learning and the subject you're tutoring is important. You'll need to do a small amount of prep ahead of each session, just so you know what you're tutoring and ways you might explain the material we provide to the children in your group. As you have the same 1 hour slot each week in school term time, punctuality is important online and in person.

Programmes run during term-time, usually before, during or after the school day. You can sign up at any time throughout the year.

Through tutoring with us our volunteers are able to develop a wealth of transferable skills, including,

• Facilitation


• Initiative


• Working with children


• Communication


• Planning


• Emotional intelligence


• Resilience
