Action Tutoring will provide all the resources and training needed to tutor, plus we will cover the cost of an Enhanced DBS check. As a volunteer, you choose the time/day that suits you best, and we can provide a reference for future work or career endeavours upon completion of a programme. You can tutor online or in-person across Merseyside and Chester schools, or tutor online to support pupils across the country.You can see a full list of schools we partner with in the Merseyside and Cheshire region here: Volunteer as a tutor in Liverpool : Action Tutoring

-
Commit to a 10, 15 or 20 week programme, for just one hour a week
-
Support either primary or secondary school-aged pupils - you get to choose!

Benefits
Meet other Action Tutoring volunteers who come from a range of different backgrounds and occupations and are aged from 18 to 81! We hold Tutor Socials and pay up to £5 per session for public transport or mileage.
Through tutoring with us our volunteers are able to develop a wealth of transferable skills (interpersonal, organisational, communication) all whilst making a great impact.
Good grades improve future prospects, opening the door to a wider range of opportunities. If you enjoy working with children and are passionate about social equality, you can make a tangible difference by volunteering for an hour a week.
Volunteering for just one hour per week is a rewarding way to make a difference to the lives of disadvantaged young people. You will be directly supporting them to build their confidence and help ensure they leave school with the grades needed to build a bright future, all while developing your own experience!
