Action Tutoring is a national charity dedicated to closing the academic attainment gap between pupils facing disadvantage and their more affluent peers. By harnessing the power of volunteering, our trained tutors help pupils build maths and English subject knowledge, study skills and confidence.

Situation
Education in this country isn’t fair. The pandemic amplified the attainment gap between disadvantaged pupils and their more affluent peers to the widest it has been in 12 years. Disadvantaged pupils have as much will and determination, but often lack access to tools that help them achieve. Without important grades at GCSE level, these young people are 50% more likely than their peers to be out of education, employment or training (NEET) on leaving school. Our support is needed more than ever.
Solution
We forge partnerships with primary and secondary schools to provide maths and English tutoring to support disadvantaged pupils to unlock their infinite potential. We use the power of volunteer tutors to ensure tuition can be accessed by every pupil who needs it, not just those who can afford it. Through weekly one-hour sessions, our volunteers help pupils build their subject knowledge, skills, and confidence, allowing them to unlock their academic potential and open doors to their future.
