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 Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. (Please note: this is a volunteer, unpaid position.)
