Volunteer Tutor
Posted for The Access Project
The Access Project supports students from disadvantaged backgrounds to access top universities. They are looking for undergraduates, postgraduates, staff, and alumni who would be able to tutor a young person aged 14-18, online, one hour a week in term-time Autumn 2023- Summer 2024 to support them with their academic studies.
- Support a young person in a subject of your choice to achieve the GCSE / A level grades they deserve and to fulfil their potential.
- Build transferable skills, experience and knowledge through ongoing training and development as part of the role.
- Students supported by The Access Project typically achieve a grade higher at GCSE and are four times more likely than their peers to progress to a top-third ranked university.
How does it work?
1. Sign up to any of the 2.5 hour training sessions over the summer, there are various dates so you can find one that suits you: During this session you’ll learn everything you need to know for your weekly 1 hour tutoring sessions. 2. You’ll complete a DBS check (criminal records check) and an online safeguarding course. 3. You will be matched with a student who is looking for support in your subject. In particular, they are seeing a high demand from students for support with sciences and maths, so volunteers who are able to support in maths and science subjects would be particularly welcome.
There are also many opportunities for volunteer tutors in other subjects including humanities and languages.
