Team Up For Social Mobility!
Team Up Is Recruiting Volunteer Maths & English Tutors
In the UK today, the best predictor of a child’s academic and social success remains the income and postcode of their parents. We believe that this is damaging to society as too many young people are unable to develop their skills and passions to shape their own destiny.
What You Will Do:
We are looking for inspirational role models who will tutor Maths or English on one of our school programmes across London. You will be matched with a small number of pupils and provide them with the academic support, encouragement and inspiration they need to get back on track. All our volunteer tutors receive full training, lesson resources and support from a qualified teacher/facilitator throughout their placement.
Why You'll Love It:
If you are looking to make a difference in a local community and find a fulfilling role whilst building your professional skillset, then look no further!
Our volunteers love building a rapport with each pupil, seeing pupil growth, and personal confidence increase across the 12 week programme. By the end of the programme, you will see how the support you give has enabled a young person to not only double their expected progress, but also build long term resilience.
Alongside this meaningful experience, you will also be able to gain access to our career mentorship scheme and attend our employability seminars, as well as receiving a personalised reference upon completion.
This is an opportunity to expand your professional network, enhance your CV and improve your employability skills - all whilst supporting young people from low-income backgrounds!
What We're Looking For:
- Enthusiasm and strong grades in the subject you wish to tutor in.
- Committed, patient and organised individuals who are keen to develop new skills.
- Individuals who are passionate about social mobility and helping to reduce the education attainment gap.
- Good interpersonal skills when dealing with pupils.
- You will deliver inspiring tuition sessions of 60-90 minutes, once a week on a fixed day of the week, normally at the end of the school day (between 3-5pm).
- Full lessons plans and teaching resources will be provided by Team Up. We expect our tutors to read through their lesson plans prior to their sessions.
- After each tuition session we ask you to review your pupils' performance and academic progress by completing a short online form.
Your Programme Manager is a teacher-trained member of Team Up staff who will support you throughout your volunteering experience, and be present at every session as a point of contact.
- Full tutor-training, including safeguarding training.
- Ongoing coaching, training and support from an experienced teacher during your placement.
- Lesson observations alongside personalised developmental feedback and logged classroom hours.
- Opportunities to attend employability workshops such as cover letter writing skills and coding.
Time commitment
Team Up provides full lesson plans and teaching resources. We do expect tutors to go over the lesson plan before each session.
This role requires you to undergo a free of charge DBS check, which will be arranged by Team Up.
Travel expenses up to £15 per attended session are covered.
