Your Role in Creating Change
We are looking for inspirational role models who will tutor Maths or English on one of our school programmes across London. You will be matched with a small number of pupils and provide them with the academic support, encouragement and inspiration they need to get back on track. All our volunteer tutors receive full training, lesson resources and support from a qualified teacher/facilitator throughout their placement.

Practical Considerations:
- - You can choose a programme that suits your timetable and location.
- - Sessions are between 60-90 minutes and will take place on a fixed day of the week, normally at the end of the school day (between 3-5pm).
- - Each programme runs across a 12 week period, usually during term time. You will be expected to volunteer for at least one programme (10-12 weeks).
- - Team Up provides full lesson plans and teaching resources.
- - This role requires you to undergo a free of charge DBS check, which will be arranged by Team Up.
- - Travel expenses up to £15 per attended session are covered.
If you are looking to make a difference in a local community and find a fulfilling role whilst building your professional skillset, then look no further! Our volunteers love building a rapport with each pupil, seeing pupil growth, and personal confidence increase across the 12 week programme. By the end of the programme, you will see how the support you give has enabled a young person to not only double their expected progress, but also build long term resilience.
Alongside this meaningful experience, you will also be able to gain access to our career mentorship scheme and attend our employability seminars, as well as receiving a personalised reference upon completion.
This is an opportunity to enhance your CV and improve your employability skills - all whilst supporting young people from low-income backgrounds!
What we're looking for
- - Enthusiasm and strong grades in English/maths.
- - Committed and organised individuals who are keen to develop new skills.
- Individuals who are passionate about social mobility and helping to reduce the education attainment gap.
- Good interpersonal skills when dealing with pupils.
About Team Up
Transform a young person's life - Tutor with Team Up
In the UK today, the best predictor of a child's academic and social success remains the income and postcode of their parents. We believe that this is damaging to society as too many young people are unable to develop their skills and passions to shape their own destiny. Our aim at Team Up is to increase social mobility by establishing inspirational teams of volunteers - people like you - that empower disadvantaged pupils to reach their academic potential and improve their future prospects.
We are also committed to developing our outstanding volunteer tutors, who gain demonstrable work experience and can - through our networks - get access to exclusive opportunities to strengthen their UCAS application and employability.
