The Access Project supports students from under-resourced backgrounds to access top universities. We partner with eligible secondary schools and colleges who share our belief that students with high potential should have equitable access to higher education, regardless of their background.
We are looking for volunteer tutors to work with a young person aged 14-16, for one hour a week through the 2024-25 academic year. Tutoring sessions take place online, allowing you to volunteer at a time that works for you.
In this role, you will:
- Support a young person in a subject of your choice to achieve the GCSE grades they deserve and fulfil their potential.
- Build transferable skills, experience and knowledge through ongoing training and development.
- Make a lasting impact and pay forward your experience.
- Contribute to our wider mission to improve social mobility through access to higher education.
No prior teaching or tutoring experience necessary - we provide comprehensive training and support, enabling you to continually strengthen your tutoring skills.
We provide tutor training and a short online safeguarding training course (CPD-accredited) before you begin volunteering with us.
This is designed to give you a foundation of knowledge in educational pedagogy, providing best practice examples of how to structure and deliver tutorials.
Our training provides you with the skills and knowledge to feel confident in your tutoring ability.
You will continue to benefit from ongoing support, guidance, and access to resources and training throughout your volunteer journey with us.
To apply, you’ll need to:
- Have or be currently studying for an undergraduate degree, Level 6 qualification, or equivalent professional qualification.
- Have studied the subject you wish to tutor, or a related subject, to A Level / Level 3 or higher.
- Be able to commit to one hour of tutoring per week, plus 30 minutes a week preparation time.
- Be prepared to undertake an enhanced DBS check and provide two references (personal or professional).
- Be based in the UK for the duration of the programme (September 2024 – July 2025).
