About this Opportunity

About us: GT Scholars is a charitable social enterprise that tackles educational inequality by giving ambitious young people the support, skills and strategies they need to achieve aspirations. We run a wide range of programmes that help young people achieve their academic and career aspirations, particularly those from less-privileged backgrounds. 

What makes us different? We run tutoring, mentoring & career insight programmes that help our scholars, aged 11-18, discover their strengths, develop their mindsets and design their own futures.
There are many charitable organisations and social enterprises offering programmes to improve the life chances of young people. 
However, our programmes use a unique 3:1 model which means that we’re able to sustainably use our profits to provide additional places on our programmes, to young people from low income homes. 
We believe that all young people are gifted and talented, regardless of their background. 
Our mission is to empower and develop the next generation of leaders and change-makers and we’re looking for volunteer tutors that are passionate about making a difference in young people’s lives!

If you are an undergraduate or graduate, you could make a difference by joining us as a volunteer tutor. As a volunteer tutor, you’ll need to:
  • *Have a passion for helping children and young people
  • *Provide online one-to-one tutoring support for 1 hour week
  • *Build pupil confidence in Science
  • *Have strong subject knowledge (confident enough to tutor up to GCSE)
  • *Work collaboratively with other tutors and mentors
  • *Have a minimum of an undergraduate degree or be working towards this

Volunteer tutoring can be extremely rewarding and volunteers with GT Scholars benefit from:
  • *A flexible schedule - you can choose online tutoring hours to suit your schedule
  • *The chance to grow your contacts and meet like-minded volunteers 
  • *The chance to make a real difference in the life of a young person.

Additional information: We’re looking for tutors that can commit to a minimum of 2 academic terms of volunteering.
We will need to conduct reference checks and you will need an Enhanced DBS for this role as you will be working directly with children. We can process this for you or you may submit one if this is less than 3 years old.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in or you’d like to know more, then get in touch with us by calling 0208 8168066 or filling in the online contact form www.gtscholars.org/contact-us
