University tutoring: one investment, benefits across generations
University tutoring partnerships offer a practical way for universities to meet ambitions for meaningful student work experience while helping to address educational inequalities. Through paid tutoring roles and emerging credit-bearing modules, students gain valuable professional skills and community engagement, while schools benefit from evidence-based academic support.
Widening Participation
We train and pay students and graduates to tutor English and maths in schools across Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Tees Valley and West Yorkshire.
It’s already that time.. Back 2 School
As the 2026/27 academic year starts we want to congratulate all our SATs and GCSE pupils for all their hard work!
How Tutor Trust Shapes Careers, Confidence and Futures
The Tutor Trust Community brings together former tutors who continue to champion fairer access to education while supporting one another professionally.
Preventing high NEET rates: How tutoring can be part of a collective solution.
With more than 1 million young people in the UK now not in education, employment or training (NEET), rising NEET rates are a growing concern for young people, communities and the wider economy. Following the interim report on Young People and Work, we highlight the links between attainment, absenteeism, disadvantage and future outcomes. We explore how tutoring can support young people to stay engaged in education, improve attainment and build confidence.
Tutor Trust Post-16 Tutoring Pilot
Tutor Trust recently participated in a pilot study funded by the Education Endowment Foundation, which explored the impact of tutoring on post-16 learners resitting their GCSEs. The study produced encouraging results, demonstrating that tutoring can significantly enhance both academic attainment and learners’ attitudes towards education. It also highlighted key lessons around effective implementation, particularly the importance of strong partnerships with colleges to boost engagement and maximise impact.
