Volunteer tutor

Action Tutoring is a national education charity that offers free maths and English tutoring to pupils facing disadvantage.

By volunteering as a tutor at a local school or online, you'll be supporting children to build their confidence and help ensure they leave school with the grades needed to build a bright future.

What will I be doing?

● Tutoring 1-3 pupils in Year 5 or 6, or Year 7, 10 or 11.

● Commit to one hour a week, for up to 20 weeks. You choose the day and time to sign up to.

● Use our tutor workbooks to guide your pupils through activities that will boost their confidence and grades.

What you'll gain:

● Receive induction training, tutor workbooks and ongoing support.

● Develop skills like communication, leadership, and problem-solving.

● Meet like-minded people in our volunteer community.

● Travel expense reimbursement (up to £5 per session).

● Free DBS check.

This volunteer role is perfect for you if you:

● Are passionate about making a difference and helping young people succeed, particularly those facing disadvantage.

● Seek valuable experience working with children and are eager to hone essential skills such as communication, mentorship, and leadership – all highly valued in any career path.

● Have a busy schedule but are keen to contribute to your community, as this flexible role requires just one hour a week, either in-person or conveniently online.

We look for volunteers with:

● Solid subject knowledge in the area they wish to tutor, which may be demonstrated by a degree or grade B at A-level qualification (or equivalent) or relevant experience.

● The ability to explain concepts clearly and patiently.

● A commitment to supporting pupils’ academic progress.

We recognise that valuable experience can be gained through diverse routes, so if your qualifications differ from those mentioned - we still encourage you to apply! Please highlight any relevant experience or skills in your application.

We welcome applications from volunteers across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. (Please note: this is a volunteer, unpaid position.)
