Purpose of Role:
Children from lower-income families are less likely to achieve academically than their better-off peers. Action Tutoring is a charity that works to level the playing field by empowering pupils to make meaningful academic progress, and opening doors to future opportunities. We are looking for volunteers to support pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds in maths or English.
Through tutoring with us our volunteers make a real difference and develop a wealth of transferable skills including, communication, organisation, planning, initiative, facilitation, emotional intelligence, resilience and, of course, working with children.
