We are an education charity supporting pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds to achieve a meaningful level of academic attainment, with a view to helping them progress to further education, employment or training.
Volunteer with us as a tutor, or partner with us as a primary or secondary school, to support pupils to increase their subject knowledge, confidence and study skills and reach their potential.

“What those in the know and with the wherewithal to do, take for granted, we should endeavour to make available to those who need it most. One to one tuition can be transformative in the life chances of a young person at a time when a helping hand is needed most. That is why I am backing Action Tutoring.”
Secondary Headteacher
“Most importantly the students have enjoyed the sessions, feel that they have improved and crucially feel more confident in their own ability. Parents and carers have also been very positive and supportive of the programme. We now have students requesting to join the programme.”
Primary Headteacher
“It has been so positive to see the children grow in confidence and talk about their tutors – what a great preparation for future life for them. I also know the results are looking so much better. This kind of work has real life-changing value and the volunteers were great role models to have in the Academy.”
Rt Hon Nick Gibb MP
“Action Tutoring’s 2017-18 Impact Report shows that it is possible to close the attainment gap and the charity 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.”
