Action Tutoring

Action Tutoring unlocks the potential of children and young people who are facing disadvantage. We are tackling the attainment gap head-on by forging partnerships with schools nationwide. Our trained volunteer tutors are empowered to enable pupils to make meaningful academic progress, opening doors to future opportunities.

Education in this country isn’t fair. If you are from a poorer socio-economic background, you are less likely to achieve academically than your peers.
Our tutors work with 1-3 pupils for an hour a week, across 10-20 weeks. Sessions are either delivered on the school premises or online, at the same time each week. We support children preparing for their SATs (ages 9-11) or GCSEs (ages 14-16). We provide all of our tutors with training and workbooks to use in sessions, A DBS check and travel expenses up to £5 per session.

Volunteering for just one hour per week is a rewarding way to make a difference to the lives of disadvantaged young people. We directly support them to build their confidence and help ensure they leave school with the grades needed to build a bright future!
