Action Tutoring is a national education charity that offers free English and maths 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:

• Develop highly sought-after professional skills, including communication, leadership, and problem-solving.
• Benefit from comprehensive induction training, ready-to-use tutor workbooks (no lesson planning needed!), and dedicated ongoing support.
• Receive a valuable professional reference at the successful completion of your programme.

This volunteer role is perfect for you if you:

• Are passionate about making a tangible difference in the lives of young people, helping them achieve their full academic potential and boost their future opportunities.
• Seek invaluable, CV-enhancing work experience and are eager to hone essential, highly sought-after skills that are valuable in any professional field.
• Are seeking a flexible volunteering opportunity that can fit around your existing commitments, requiring just one hour a week, either in-person at a local school 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.
