The impact
A rewarding role
Our tutees aren’t the only ones who bene昀椀t from their involvement
with Tutor Trust; our tutors are overwhelmingly positive about their
experiences supporting young people across Greater Manchester,
West Yorkshire and Merseyside.
• 94% of respondents to our tutor survey
rate their experience working with Tutor
Trust as either ‘excellent’ or ‘good’
• 57% described their experience
as ‘excellent’
We pay our tutors well, o昀昀ering a minimum
of £23 per hour to plan and deliver each
hour of tutoring, but for our tutors, it’s
about more than pay. Tutoring is rewarding,
impactful work that also enables tutors to
develop personal and professional skills
that are relevant for a range of careers.
In our annual Tutor Survey, we asked our
tutors to what extent they agreed with the
statements below. Read on for some of
their comments!
‘I feel like I’ve made an impact’

So many of our tutors’ best moments of
the year centred on seeing a real change in
a young person: whether it’s that magical
moment when a concept just clicks, or
a previously reluctant tutee starting to
become enthusiastic about learning, our
tutors rightly feel very proud of the impact
they’ve had on young people.
My highlight of the year was
having one of my pupils run up to
me saying ‘We did fractions in Maths
today and I could do everything!’ Not
only had he understood, but seeing
how excited he was to tell me felt
amazing.

tutors, particularly our undergraduate
tutors, working in a school environment
gives them valuable experience of acting
as a professional. And, of course, seeing
their tutees progress and enjoy the
sessions provides tutors with a real
and well-deserved sense of pride:

I feel like I’m making a positive

impact not only educationally but
also mentally too. The safe space
I’ve created in my tutoring space
has helped children to learn better
and express themselves in a fun
way.

myself and my skills, I am more
professional and comfortable

unfamiliar environments.

Being a tutor has had a very
“
positive impact on my self-esteem
and self-con昀椀dence. I really feel
I am making a difference in being
a positive role model for young
students.

As well as the ‘feel good factor’ of working
with young people, our tutors see bene昀椀ts
for their own con昀椀dence. For some of our
