Action Tutoring partners with schools to provide cost-effective, evidence-based tutoring that supports pupils facing disadvantage to unlock their full potential. Our trained volunteers deliver targeted support, helping schools meet their academic goals.
Become a partner school
Action Tutoring is an education charity with a long history of providing vital tutoring support to pupils facing disadvantage. Established in 2011, we’ve developed an effective tutoring programme with proven impact and minimal workload for schools.
It’s a great time to explore a partnership with Action Tutoring. In 2025-26 we are working with the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) and two sector-leading research organisations to evaluate the impact of our maths tutoring programme. We have also recently been awarded ‘School Partnership Provider 2025’, in the National Tutoring Awards, in recognition of the collaborative and impactful school partnership model we have built.

Action Tutoring has had huge success raising attainment. The pupils are proof that regardless of your circumstances it is possible to get crucial English and maths qualifications. Action Tutoring offers a practical, structured solution. Action Tutoring’s vision is one that I fully endorse… [there is] huge potential for more volunteers to use their knowledge and experience in this way to support young people.
Pupils have engaged really well with the tutors and this has led to high motivation which has contributed to the success of this programme. Action Tutoring has contributed to making sure our disadvantaged Year 6 pupils are on track to meet expected standards in English and mathematics. We are committed to investing in the Action Tutoring programme in years to come. We have seen the difference it has made to improving our pupils’ attainment as well as improving their study skills; they have become more independent in their decision making.
