Who we are

The Tutor Trust is a registered charity which aims to transform one-to-one tuition and helps to tackle educational inequality.  We serve disadvantaged pupils by supplying schools with first class academic tutors - university students, recruited and trained by us.  We are unique – Britain's only professional, not-for-profit tuition service for state schools in challenging communities.  Our tutors are paid for their work – they are not volunteers.    

In autumn 2016, The Tutor Trust won the national prize for 'Best New Charity in Britain' at the Charity Times Awards and the 'Best Partnership' prize at the Spirit of Manchester Awards.  In 2017, The Tutor Trust won the top 'Spirit of Community' award from Yorkshire Bank. 

In November 2018, the Education Endowment Foundation published the impressive results of a major independent evaluation of Tutor Trust.  This report gives us solid proof of the quality and impact of our work, and a strong foundation on which to build our work right across the Northern Powerhouse.
