Why volunteer as a tutor with

Action Tutoring?
Some Testimonials
"Action Tutoring makes decisive interventions at the critical time to help struggling
pupils achieve C grades in English and Maths at GCSE. The evidence proves it
works. By lifting children up through the 5A*-C barrier, they transform their life
chances. And what makes them even more wonderful people is, they are all
volunteers.
"London was the first city to benefit from Action Tutoring and I am delighted that they
are now expanding to help children in other cities across the country.
"More power to their elbow."
Boris Johnson, Mayor of London

What Volunteer Tutors Say


Volunteering with Action Tutoring is a simple, fun and interesting way for you to change
a young person's life - and it will almost certainly change yours for the better, too.
Jemma Walton, Volunteer Tutor in London
As someone who enjoys maths and sees this as vital subject for all, I wanted to share
this enthusiasm with students. Giving students personal attention, finding and fixing the
tutorial at a level they can understand, then seeing them build on this is really rewarding.
My best moment was when two students volunteered to have an extra lesson at the end
of the formal run of the tutorials. I would encourage those to join in this programme, who
want to share interest in their subject and to help young people overcome personal
challenges in that subject.
Chris Montagnon, Volunteer Tutor, London
Working with the young people and seeing a change in their attitude towards
mathematics was a great achievement, which hopefully will really help them in their
future.
Becky Smedley, Tutor in Birmingham
Action Tutoring has broadened my horizons, given me inspiration, and helped me
reinforce and develop my soft and hard skills.
Tutor in Sheffield

This was a great way to get experience of working with young people and it was also a
useful insight into teaching.

What Pupils Say


The Saturday tutoring has really helped me with my Maths because it has given me a
chance to go over some of the topics I didnt do so well in previously. My tutor has been very
helpful and friendly and Im hoping to meet with him for a few more sessions after the
programme has finished to give myself an even better chance in the exam.
Gustave Aka, year 11 pupil at the Harris Academy, Peckham
During my time at school I took part in the Action Tutoring Programme. It was very helpful in
helping me to gain the good GCSEs in Maths, which were required for me to do the specific
subjects I wanted to do in college, where I'm now studying. It was also fun, so it encouraged
me to attend the sessions and helped me to learn a lot of things which I would find difficult to
learn in a distracting classroom. I would recommend everybody that needs extra help in
preparing for their GCSE to become involved with Action Tutoring as it is very helpful.
Keanua Walters, Manchester Pupil
Coming to my sessions really helped me improve in the subject and made me more
confident.
Hayer, Pupil, Holte School, Birmingham
I enjoyed my tutoring and I learnt more than I expected!
Sophie, Pupil at Sheffield Park Academy
The tutoring has been very effective in helping build up my confidence and structure of
writing.

What Teachers Say


Action Tutoring have now run a number of programmes with students at the Lambeth
Academy. Students have been receptive to the support and it has had a notable impact on
their performance in these key subjects. We've been impressed by the standard and
commitment of the volunteer tutors and look forward to continuing working with Action
Tutoring.
Jan Shaddick, Principal, Lambeth Academy
"At Mount Carmel Catholic College for girls, Action Tutoring has delivered one to one tuition in
English and Maths on Saturday mornings. This provision has provided our students
with additional revision support which has been invaluable in raising achievement not only at
C/D borderline but also our A and A*s. The enthusiasm, commitment and dedication from all
of tutors have definitely made this initiative a worthwhile intervention and we will definitely
continue with this next year."
Nicole Haynes, Vice Principal, Mount Carmel School for Girls
Very few projects have this level of impact on student engagement and progress. The
energy and commitment from tutors and tutees is palpable.
Hyder Dastagir, Headteacher, London Nautical School
The tutors were highly engaged with supporting the students and helped them make
progress in each session. Their strong moral purpose and nurturing approach were second to
none.
Kate Vickers, Assistant Head of Faculty, Whalley Range High School, Manchester

Action Tutoring has been a really valuable initiative for us. The quality of the tutors has been
outstanding.
