Support young people
to reach their potential in English, maths or science at primary or secondary level. You may also tutor learners in post-16 settings for GCSE resits.
Welcome to Tutor Trust
We’re a proudly northern charity whose mission is to transform lives through tutoring. We believe in equity in education, regardless of postcode or background so that every young person can reach their potential.
Our tutors deliver tutoring in English, Maths and Science to children and young people in primary and secondary schools, and in colleges to students resitting GCSEs. We work across Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Tees Valley and West Yorkshire.
Training to become a tutor with us is rewarding. We support your professional development and pay you generously for your hard work.
About the role
You'll work with young people to reach their potential in English, maths or science at primary and secondary school level. You may also work with college students on a one-to-one basis to support GCSE resits. Using our small-group model, you'll tutor no more than four pupils and therefore be able to focus on individualised learning needs.
Most of our tuition assignments last 15 school weeks, meaning you'll be able to make a noticeable impact over time with your students.
To tutor with us, you must be able to register as self-employed in the UK, provide two references, and be willing to undergo an enhanced DBS check.
