The how
Why Tutor Trust?
We’re about young
people, not pro昀椀t
We’re rooted in
our communities
As a charity, our priority is making a
di昀昀erence to the lives of young people. The
support of our generous funders helps us
to keep the prices that schools pay low, and
every penny we charge goes into ensuring
we deliver the best quality programmes that
make a real di昀昀erence to young people’s
attainment, con昀椀dence and love of learning.
A proudly Northern charity, we work
across Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire
and Merseyside. With the North / South
divide failing to narrow, many of our towns
and communities are underserved and
experience higher rates of poverty than
elsewhere in England. Most of our sta昀昀
team, and many of our tutors, grew up
in the regions we serve, so we absolutely
understand the challenges that schools
and communities may face, but we also
know how resilient and creative our
schools, teachers and communities are!
We’re absolutely committed to delivering
the best for our local young people.
We recognise the 昀椀nancial challenges
that schools are facing can make it harder
to a昀昀ord our tutoring. As such, for 2023/24
we’ve cut our headline price per hour by
20%. This absorbs the decrease in the NTP
subsidy, meaning that each hour
of high-quality tutoring only
requires the school to
contribute £21. For a 1:3
programme, that’s £7
per pupil per hour.
We know that
even that’s too
much for some
schools, and so
are exploring
partnerships
with our
supporters to
ensure that we
can o昀昀er our tutoring
to as many young
people as possible.

Tutor Trust Impact Report 2022/2023
Wherever possible, our tutors
go into schools and deliver
sessions face-to-face. We’ve
found that online sessions
can work well in particular
contexts, but that for
most young people the
greatest bene昀椀t comes
from building a face-toface relationship with
an inspiring tutor and
role model. 93% of our
tutoring last year was
delivered face-to-face, at
school. We’re continuing to
explore how we can use online
and hybrid models of tutoring to
reach more young people, without
compromising on quality or impact.
We’re best-in-class for
quality and impact
As the only tutoring provider in the UK with
positive evidence from two RCTs from the
Education Endowment Foundation, we know
our tutoring can make a real di昀昀erence.
However, we’re not complacent, and we’re
constantly using data to re昀氀ect on and
improve what we do. From our rigorous tutor
recruitment, training and quality monitoring
processes to our new system of pupil
progress assessments, we seek to ensure
that every hour of Tutor Trust tutoring
will make a real impact on pupil progress,
con昀椀dence and enjoyment of learning.
We work in partnership
with schools
We believe in partnership, and work
closely with every school to deliver e昀昀ective
tutoring programmes that meet the needs
of both the pupils and the school. We o昀昀er
full support throughout the programme,
whether it’s with setup, funding, pupil
attendance, or reporting to the DfE. That’s
