years at Tutor Trust
Thanks to tutoring, my maths and communication skills have improved the most ...my confidence in talking to a class and explaining things has grown. My maths and tutoring skills have developed because the pupils show you different ways of working that you’d never have thought about."George Williamson - Secondary maths tutor
“The advantages to being a tutor are how flexible tutoring is, and working with the pupils. In retail, you can do night shifts until around 11pm, whereas, when you’re tutoring, the hours are always in the day and you can work around your university timetable. I spoke to my school coordinators about when I could work, and they sorted it all out for me. Also, in retail, you can do the same thing every day, but with tutoring, you’re always learning and you’re doing something different, so it never gets boring!
“For me, the impact of tutoring is massive and it’s a big responsibility. You’re teaching your young pupils life skills that they can use forever, for example, teaching times tables and divisions. For the pupils, they are advanced for their age and very enthusiastic about that the subject, so they might want to go onto Maths and STEM careers, and I’m hoping that, with tutoring, they have the confidence to believe that they can achieve that.
“I definitely see myself continuing with Tutor Trust for the next few years. For those interested in becoming a tutor, I’d say give it a go! Just make sure you know enough about your subject when applying.”
