Volunteer Maths or English Tutor

What You'll Do: 

We are looking for inspirational role models who will tutor Maths or English on one of our school programmes across London. You will be matched to a small group of less advantaged pupils who are currently underperforming and you will provide them with the academic support, encouragement and inspiration they need to get back on track. 

  • You can choose a programme that suits your timetable and location.
  • You will deliver tuition sessions of 60-90 minutes each week, on a fixed day of the week (normally at the end of the school day).
  • Each programme runs for a school term - Summer (Apr to Jul), Autumn (Sep to Dec) and Spring (Jan to Mar). You will be expected to volunteer for 10-12 weeks (one full school term). 
  • Team Up provides full lesson plans and teaching resources.
Why You'll Love It: 

You can make a real change! The majority of our pupils double their expected progress during one programme and also gain a lot more confidence in their own learning!

 

Not only will you have a meaningful experience and learn new skills, you will also be able to make use of a full range of benefits that we offer our tutors, such as a personalised reference, career mentor, accredited leadership award and access to free seminars/workshops.

 

This is a great opportunity to expand your professional network, enhance your CV and improve your employability - all whilst tutoring young people from low-income backgrounds! 

 

What You'll Learn: 
  • A range of important transferable skills including leadership, communication, time management and teaching skills.
  • Full tutor-training, including safeguarding training. 
  • Ongoing coaching, training and support from an experienced teacher during your placement. 
  • Lesson observations alongside personalised developmental feedback and logged classroom hours.
What We're Looking For: 
  • Enthusiasm and strong grades in the subject you wish to tutor in. 
  • Committed, patient and organised individuals who are keen to develop new skills.
  • Individuals who are passionate about social mobility and helping to reduce the education attainment gap. 
  • Good interpersonal skills when dealing with pupils.
