University of Salford and The Tutor Trust

Nic Beech, Vice Chancellor of the University of Salford, expressed his excitement about the partnership:

“We are delighted to be partnering with The Tutor Trust to pilot this program in Salford. As a University, we pride ourselves on empowering students to achieve their academic and career ambitions, regardless of their background. This work is very much part of our commitment to helping enrich lives in Salford and beyond.” 

The partnership helps fill the gap for pupils who may not have access to private tutoring, offering invaluable support. The goal of the program is to reach 400 pupils in Salford in its first year. By providing tutoring to these students, we hope to improve academic outcomes and inspire more local pupils to aspire to University life.

Lynne Barrow, Director of Student Recruitment at the University’s Business School, also shared her enthusiasm:

“The programme will support local pupils who would not otherwise have the means to afford private tutors. At the same time, we’ll be helping our students develop their own skills and confidence, not to mention providing them with a source of income too. We can’t wait to get started in the new year.”

This partnership has been made possible in part due to the generous support of Richard Donner and the Harrington Foundation, who are committed to helping the University of Salford reach more pupils in the local community. Their contribution ensures that the program can be delivered to schools in Salford at minimal cost, enabling even more pupils to benefit from this invaluable opportunity.
