subject of your choice to achieve the GCSE grades they deserve and to fulfil
their potential.
•Build transferable skills,
experience and knowledge through ongoing training and development as part of
the role.
•Students supported by The Access
Project typically achieve a grade higher at GCSE and are twice more likely than
their peers to progress to a top-third ranked university.
No prior teaching or tutoring
experience necessary, we provide a full comprehensive training and induction to
help you build the confidence to be the best volunteer you can be.

· Either be currently studying for
an undergraduate degree or have an undergraduate degree/equivalent professional
qualification.

or an undergraduate degree in a subject you wish to tutor at GCSE level.

in school term time over the next academic year to tutor (starting Sept/Oct
