Undergraduate success
We partner with 16 universities to connect
their students with tutoring opportunities
at Tutor Trust. We pay well, at £22 per
session, and for students, this work
is also a hugely valuable way to gain
experience for their future careers. Many
have found tutoring with us has been an
e昀昀ective way to build a sense of belonging
in their community. And we’ve found that
pupils 昀椀nd it easier to connect with and
relate to our student tutors.
I love knowing that the time
and effort I put into tutoring
can genuinely change someone’s
life. Helping a student overcome
challenges and achieve their
goals is incredibly rewarding.

Widening participation
This year we broadened our widening
participation scheme, o昀昀ering a
guaranteed interview to applicants
who meet the minimum criteria or
have engaged with an access scheme
at university. 38% of our tutors come
from the communities we work in and
we’re pleased to see that number rising.
Students with similar lived experiences
to the young people we support provide
not only excellent tutoring but also
act as relatable role models and help
inspire their tutees to consider university
education. Our analysis this year has
shown that pupils with tutors from similar
backgrounds as themselves have higher
attendance at tuition across all Key
Stages, greater enjoyment of their tuition
sessions, improved con昀椀dence, and
higher progress in their attainment.
Next generation
of teachers
The quality of training and experience
our tutors receive in the role stand
them in good stead for a future career
in teaching. And they often get a taste
for it too. Over the past four years,
77% of respondents to our annual
tutor survey have indicated they
are considering a career in teaching
after having tutored with us.
Through the model that Tutor
“
Trust has adopted, they have
certainly recruited some of the
next generation of teachers. It’s
been a way for them to get involved
with the life of the school prior to
them embarking on any teacher
training.
