Volunteer tutor
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.
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
Skills
We look for volunteers who:
● 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
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.
Programmes run during term-time, usually before, during or after the school day. You can sign up at any time throughout the year.
Gained skills
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
