Action Tutoring
Action Tutoring unlocks the potential of children and young people who are facing disadvantage. We are tackling the attainment gap head-on by forging partnerships with schools nationwide. Our trained volunteer tutors are empowered to enable pupils to make meaningful academic progress, opening doors to future opportunities.
The opportunity
Education in this country isn’t fair. If you are from a poorer socio-economic background, you are less likely to achieve academically than your peers.
As an English or maths tutor, you will choose one of our partner schools and work with 1-3 pupils for an hour a week, across 10-20 weeks. Sessions are either delivered on the school premises or online, at the same time each week. You can choose to support children preparing for their SATs (ages 9-11) or GCSEs (ages 14-16). We provide all of our tutors with training and workbooks to use in sessions, A DBS check and travel expenses up to £5 per session.
Face-to-face opportunities are available in Birmingham, Bristol, Liverpool, Newcastle, Nottingham, Sheffield, London and Sussex. You can tutor online from anywhere in England, Scotland and Wales. Please note we do not currently accept tutors who live outside of these countries due to DBS restrictions.
Volunteering for just one hour per week is a rewarding way to make a difference to the lives of disadvantaged young people. You will be directly supporting them to build their confidence and help ensure they leave school with the grades needed to build a bright future, all while developing your own experience!
