Kelsey’s tutoring journey

Meet Kelsey. Working for one of our corporate partners, Amentum, Kelsey has been tutoring with us on one of our maths programmes. Find out why she’s loved experiencing the joy of tutoring and how she embraces a pupil’s lightbulb moment. Read on to experience Kelsey’s tutoring journey.

Kelsey loves supporting others. With prior tutoring experience in school, she was keen to continue making a positive impact. 

“I love seeing pupils progress throughout their Action Tutoring maths sessions,” Kelsey says. “I saw the opportunity for me to help narrow the attainment gap.”

Believing in our cause

Supporting pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds with their English and maths education, Kelsey believes in our charity’s cause. 

Working at Action Tutoring’s corporate partner – and fellow tutoring provider – Amentum, Kelsey recognises the power of transforming young people’s lives. 

Apprentice Process and Plant Engineer, Kelsey, says: “Tutoring is most rewarding when seeing a pupil’s ongoing improvement and confidence develop. It really makes the experience fulfilling.” 

Holistic support

As part of Kelsey’s tutoring journey, a commitment to Action Tutoring has been easy to include within her already busy schedule. She also appreciates our charity’s flexibility, which has aided her wellbeing. 

“The tutoring programme structure ensures consistency for both the pupil and myself,” Kelsey adds. “I feel able to contribute meaningfully without feeling overwhelmed.”

Following her 13 sessions volunteering with Action Tutoring, what would Kelsey say to help those who may be nervous tutoring maths?
