Action Tutoring
Action Tutoring is a national education charity that supports disadvantaged young people to achieve a meaningful level of academic attainment. This enables them to go on to progress in education, employment or training. Partner with us as a volunteer tutor, either in-person or online, to support primary and secondary school pupils to increase their subject knowledge, whilst building on confidence…
Description
Children from lower-income families are less likely to achieve academically than their better-off peers. Action Tutoring is a charity that works to level the playing field.
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.
Duties
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
Who will the volunteers be working with?
Disadvantaged pupils preparing for their SATs (ages 9-11) or GCSEs (ages 14-16).
Training
What support will I get?
Training (a two-hour induction session)
In-session support from your Programme Coordinator
Tutor workbooks with session plans
Travel expenses up to £5 per session
