Volunteer Tutors Organisation (SA)
- VO101719
VTO provides free tutor support to children and young people aged 8-18, to help tackle the poverty related attainment gap in Scotland. We work with young people from diverse backgrounds including, but not limited to, those who are care experienced, those who speak English as an additional language (EAL) or those faced with perceived barriers to learning. Our volunteers focus on developing a person-centred tutoring experience through relationship building to instil confidence and increase motivation and educational attainment. Volunteers from a range of diverse backgrounds and experiences are welcome.
Main Duties:
• Working one to one with a young person who requires support with their learning online or face to face.
• Relationship building and mentoring
• Monitoring and recording progress of learning and keeping in contact with your assigned VTO Learning Communities Coordinator.
• Supporting learning in English and/or Maths and potentially other subjects, dependant on experience and pupil need
• Sourcing and creating engaging ways to support pupils’ skills and learning.
• You can ask to work with more than one pupil if you have the time available.
• We ask for a minimum commitment of 6 months from being matched with a young person and ideally until the end of the academic year.
