Every child deserves the chance to succeed, regardless of their background. Action Tutoring is a charity dedicated to closing the attainment gap and creating a more equitable future for young people.

We're building a diverse community of tutors passionate about educational equity. We are seeking dedicated volunteers from all walks of life to tutor and support pupils facing socio-economic disadvantage in maths and English.

As a volunteer tutor, you’ll:

- Tutor a group of 1-3 pupils (primary or secondary), with options to support online or in-person.
- Dedicate just one hour a week for a 10-20 week programme.

We provide the resources – you bring your enthusiasm! You’ll use our workbooks to deliver your sessions.

Whether you're a university student, a working professional, retired or simply looking to give back, your hour a week can open doors to brighter futures for these young people and make a lasting impact.

Teaching & Training

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. 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.)

What you'll gain: - Comprehensive training (2-hour induction, technical training for online tutors, optional further skills training). - Ongoing support from your dedicated programme coordinator. - Structured session plans and workbooks. - Travel expense reimbursement (up to £5 per session). - Free DBS check. - Optional tutor socials and buddy system.

1 hour a week at the same time each week in school term time only, for 10, 15 or 20 weeks.
