How Tutor Trust partners with Secondary Schools

The tutors inspired, supported and raised the aspirations of our young people. Phil Swain, Senior Assistant Principal, Cansfield High School

Our tutors are trained to work with all secondary year groups, whether it be Key Stage 4 students who need pushing past the next grade boundary as they approach their GCSE’s or Key Stage 3 students in order to avoid gaps in their knowledge when they reach upper school.  We also work across the ability range, with pupils who have missed a great deal of school, those on the 4/5 borderline and those who need pushing to reach 8's and 9's.

We are able to deliver tutoring in English, Maths or Science at secondary level.  Schools may request individual subjects or a combination, but due to our tutors having fairly specialised subject knowledge, there are relatively few of our tutors who are trained to tutor multiple subjects. For science tutoring, we ask that secondary schools specify whether they want tuition in Physics, Biology, Chemistry or a combination.

Tutoring can take place on a 1:1, 1:2 or 1:3 basis.

GCSE MATHS FOUNDATIONS – Scheme of work for Key Stage 4 pupils

We have a fully-resourced,15-hour Maths tuition scheme of work, designed to help borderline KS4 students currently working at a grade 3 in GCSE Maths move up to a Grade 4 or 5.

This programme houses the best Maths resources in one place and has been formed by education specialists and tutors, incorporating feedback from teachers from our partner schools. It has been designed to prepare students for exam-style questions and focuses mainly on number and algebra. There is also a session on shape and space.

The GCSE Maths Foundations scheme of work has been designed to be visually engaging and accessible. It will also help to build mathematical resilience and improve student autonomy when solving problems.

Our tutors and coordinators will set up and deliver the tuition sessions, freeing up your teaching team's time and making the process as quick and easy as possible.

50% of the costs are met by NTP funding – meaning they can be as low as £7.16 per pupil, per hour’s tutoring. Find out more about our tuition costs and NTP funding here.

Download our programme leaflet here or contact [email protected] to find out more details.

LITERATURE LIT UP: BRINGING WRITTEN AND SPOKEN ENGLISH ALIVE - scheme for Key Stage 3 pupils

We now have a fully-resourced 15-hour tuition scheme, 'Literature Lit Up', to support your KS3 English programme.

The scheme fosters an appreciation and love of reading increasingly challenging
material through the use of high-quality, engaging texts. With a diverse range of English literature content, your students will connect with the materials they study.

Our tutors and coordinators will set up and deliver the tuition sessions, freeing up your teaching team's time.

We offer flexible delivery of the tutoring blocks – one hour per week over 15 weeks, or two one-hour sessions per week in a seven-and-a-half week intensive programme. Tutoring is delivered face-to-face in school.

50% of the costs are met by NTP funding – meaning they can be as low as £7.16 per pupil, per hour’s tutoring.

You can read more here, or contact [email protected] to find out more details.

We are able to provide secondary school tutoring in all 10 boroughs of Greater Manchester, Leeds, and across Merseyside.

Our mission is to provide a high quality tutoring service for disadvantaged students, so we ask that a significant proportion of tutees are pupil premium, LAC or in alternative provision.

Our research has shown that students need a minimum of 12 hours of tutoring in order for it to have a meaningful impact. For this reason, we ask schools to book in a minimum of 15 hours of tuition per pupil to account for any potential pupil absences.

Our tutors are academic high flyers and inspirational role models and receive a high level of training from us.  To find out more about how we monitor tutor quality, and the expectations we have of our tutors, please visit here.
