Tutor with Tutor Trust

If you’re highly motivated and passionate about wanting to make a difference in young people's lives, you’ve come to the right place. Training to become a tutor with us is really rewarding; we’ll also support your professional development along the way and pay you generously for your hard work.

Apply now

Note: Qualified Teachers should visit our dedicated qualified teachers page.

The role:

  • Support young people, who may not otherwise have access to a tutor, in core subjects at primary and/or secondary level.
  • Work with small groups of 1:1, or 1:3, focusing on individual learning needs.
  • Tutoring with us is flexible, but we ask that you commit to a minimum of three hours per week. Most tutoring takes place during the school day (8am – 4pm), at the school, and during school term times. 
  • Teaching experience is not required as we’ll train and support you throughout. (If you’re a Qualified Teacher, join our bespoke QT programme.)
  • You need to be eligible to register as self-employed and be willing to undergo an enhanced DBS and references check before you start tutoring.

Benefits of tutoring. Earn £22 minimum to plan and deliver each hour of tuition.*  A one-off bonus of £20 when you complete your first tuition session.  A one-off bonus of £100 when you complete at least 30 hours of tutoring this academic year.  Fulfilment from working with a charity and supporting young people in your local community.  Develop professional skills throughout your time with us, that you can apply in whatever career path you choose.      *We pay our tutors a minimum of £22 (£25 or £30 for Qualified Teachers, dependent on experience) to plan and deliver each hour of tuition. Our one-off bonus incentives apply for the academic year 2023/24 only.

Find us on Glassdoor.


What we’re looking for

As a tutor, you’ll work with the same group of young people every week at the same time, over the course of an assignment (normally 15 school weeks). We expect you to show sustained commitment to your tutees by being reliable, punctual, and organised.

Most tutoring takes place during the school day (8am – 4pm) inside the school building, and during school term times. You’ll need to factor in travel times when applying for assignments, but tutoring is normally held in two to three-hour blocks to minimise this. We expect you to commit to a minimum of three hours of tutoring per week, but you can take on as much work as you like. If you’re only available for evening and weekend work, then it is unlikely that any of our work will be suitable for you.

Grades:

  • To tutor in Primary Maths and Reading, we ask for at least a Grade B/6 in Maths and English at GCSE level.
  • To tutor in Secondary Maths, English, or Science, we ask for at least a Grade A/7 at GCSE level in your chosen subject.

We're open to considering alternative or equivalent qualifications, for example, a relevant A-level (completed) or degree (completed or in progress). If you don't meet these grades but feel you have other relevant experience, please apply but include details of all experiences, including start and end dates.


Joining us

  1. You'll start by submitting an online application, where you'll list your personal details, relevant experiences, and submit a personal statement.
  2. If successful, we'll invite you to a 20-minute virtual interview where we'll ask you about your motivations to tutor with us, and you'll deliver a five-minute role-play in the subject you wish to tutor in.
  3. If we like what we see, we'll invite you to tutor training consisting of 10-15 hours of online content divided into bitesize chunks over three to four weeks. In the meantime, we'll process your DBS and references.

When you've finished your tutor training, provided your DBS and references are cleared, you'll be able to go out in the classroom and start transforming lives! You'll be able to apply for assignments using our online booking portal.
