Would you like to help young people reach their full potential? Could you make a difference in a young person’s life?
About us: The GT Scholars programme is a not-for-profit social enterprise that tackles educational inequality by giving ambitious young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, the support, skills and strategies they need to achieve their academic and career ambitions.
What makes us different? There are a range of charitable organisations and social enterprises offering programs to improve the life chances of young people. However, The GT Scholars programme has the capacity to work with all state school pupils, not just those on Free School Meals. This means that we are able to help a wide range of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and they do not need to be referred by their school in order to qualify for support.
We’re looking for volunteer tutors that can join us in improving the life chances of young people from low income homes.
If you are are an undergraduate or graduate, you could make a difference by joining us a volunteer tutor. As a volunteer tutor, you’ll need to:
Have a passion for helping children and young people
Provide online one-to-one tutoring support for 1 hour week
Build pupil confidence in Maths, English or Science
Have strong subject knowledge (confident enough to tutor up to GCSE)
Work collaboratively with other tutors and mentors
Have a minimum of an undergraduate degree or be working towards this
Volunteer tutoring can be extremely rewarding and volunteers with GT Scholars benefit from:
A flexible schedule - you can choose online tutoring hours to suit your schedule
The chance to grow your contacts and meet like-minded volunteers
The chance to make a real difference in the life of a young person.
Additional information: We require tutors that can commit to a minimum of 2 academic terms of volunteering.
We will need to conduct reference checks and you will need an Enhanced DBS for this role as you will be working directly with children. We can process this for you or you may submit one if this is less than 3 years old.
