Online Volunteer Tutor (GCSE)

REF: 67caddb587b79

At The Access Project, volunteers fulfil our mission of supporting young people to attend top universities and achieve social mobility. We have a team of over 1,000 volunteers based all over the country. Many volunteer tutors have used tutoring to grow their skills, while others see it as an opportunity to give back to a good cause. As a volunteer, you’ll get dedicated support from our staff team at The Access Project, and you’ll feel an immense sense of reward as you help a young person learn and grow.

Role

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 2025-26 academic year.

No prior teaching or tutoring experience necessary - we provide comprehensive training and support, enabling you to continually strengthen your tutoring skills. Interested?

The Access Project

Organisation description:

The Access Project is an education charity supporting young people from under-resourced backgrounds across London, the Midlands, Yorkshire and the North West. The programme provides GCSE students with expert mentorship and personalised academic tuition delivered by our team of volunteer tutors. Today, young people in the UK from disadvantaged backgrounds are almost three times less likely to progress to a top-third university, compared to their peers working at a similar academic level. We want to change this. We help these young people to see university as something that is “for them”, to support them to make competitive applications and to get the grades they deserve so that they can fulfil their potential.
