Opportunities

Volunteer Tutor(18+) (100)

The Access Project supports students from disadvantaged backgrounds to access top universities. We are looking for volunteers 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.

No prior teaching or tutoring experience necessary, we provide a full comprehensive training and induction to help you build the confidence to be the best volunteer you can be.

How does it work?

Sign up to any of our 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 one1 hour tutoring sessions.

You’ll complete a DBS check (criminal records check) and an online safeguarding course.

We’ll match you with a student who is looking for support in your subject. In particular, we are seeing high demand from our 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.

DBS Required:

Yes, volunteers are required to pay,  The Access Project covers the cost.

We do not expect volunteers to incur any expenses. All training and volunteering will be online so there are no travel expenses, and we cover all of the costs of the online platform and cover all costs for DBS checks. In some cases we also provide volunteers with additional equipment such as graphics tablets, in this instance we cover the entire cost of this including covering the cost of return postage as well. We provide extensive resources that cover everything volunteers will need to best support the young people, and we provide extensive links and suggestions for free resources.
