Make a Difference. Build Your Skills. Be Part of Something Meaningful.

The Volunteer Tutors Organisation (VTO) is a Scottish charity dedicated to helping children and young people aged 8–18 reach their full potential through free, one-to-one tutoring support. By focusing on relationship-based, person-centred learning, VTO tackles the poverty-related attainment gap and supports learners facing additional challenges, such as those who are care-experienced, speak English as an additional language, or encounter barriers to education. With the help of dedicated volunteers, VTO builds confidence, motivation, and academic success in young people across Scotland
