Purpose of Role:
Volunteer as a tutor with Action Tutoring and make a difference to the lives of disadvantaged young people living in your community.
Pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds aren’t less able, but they have less access to the tools that support them to progress in school and reach their full academic potential.
Action Tutoring partners with schools to provide cost-effective, evidence-based tutoring that supports pupils facing disadvantage to unlock their full potential. Our trained volunteers deliver targeted support, helping schools meet their academic goals.

ROLE DESCRIPTION:
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.
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.
