The impact
‘I feel more connected to my local
community’
3.98
Many of our tutors are local, but for some,
particularly students who have not grown
up in their university city, tutoring is an
opportunity to become more involved
with local communities.
I have felt more connected
“
to communities in Manchester,
especially as the school was not
close to where I currently live and
the children were from a range
of different backgrounds.

Being a tutor helps me to
“
become a better role model and
inspires me to set a good example
and instil a genuine curiosity
for learning in the pupils I teach.
On the 昀氀ip side, each day I tutor
I am given the chance to learn
something new from the pupils
themselves!

and Tutoring Plus Tutor, graduate

For others, who already have a deep
connection to the community where
they’re tutoring, tutoring is a way to be
an inspiring role model and ‘pay it forward’
to the next generation.
I absolutely love working with
“
the children. Given that I am in my
mid 昀椀fties, I feel that I am able to not
only help with English skills but with
other skills too – including social skills,
letter writing, job applications and
cultural capital.

‘I feel better prepared for my
future career’

Being a tutor has made me so much
“
more con昀椀dent and professional. It
has given me an insight of what it’s
going to be like when I continue my
career in becoming a Maths teacher.

current undergraduate in Psychology
at Liverpool John Moores University
”
Some of our tutors 昀椀nd that their experience
as a tutor generates an interest in pursuing a
career in teaching: around 18% of our tutors
signed up because they already
wanted to teach, but another
39% say that tutoring has
made them more likely
to pursue a career in
the 昀椀eld. With Tutor
Trust alumni already
working at schools
across and beyond
the North (and, in
some cases, working
with us to run
tutoring programmes
in their school), we
are proud to be giving
more potential teachers
invaluable experience
working with young people.
It has given me my wish list:
“
teach / tutor Maths.
” Faisal Fazal,
Secondary Maths Tutor, began tutoring
to complement an existing career in
data science
Being a tutor has encouraged me
“
to consider a career in teaching! I
love working in a school environment
and spending time with the students
on my current assignments is such
a pleasure I can honestly say I look
forward to going into work!

Secondary English Tutor, graduate
