Our Reach: All other locations
During school closures in 2021, Action Tutoring gained a huge amount of experience in managing sessions remotely when pupils were based at home. This experience has been invaluable in pivoting to pilot a ‘remote’ model where pupils are in school but Action Tutoring staff and volunteers are supporting remotely.
Virtual programmes were launched in 2022, and help us expand our reach to help more disadvantaged pupils even further outside of urban centres. Most of the programmes shown on this page are virtual.

Initially, I wondered whether online tutoring would feel less personal than face-to-face sessions, and whether managing the technology while teaching maths might be challenging.
However, those concerns disappeared very quickly. The online platform is intuitive and reliable, and the training and support provided by Action Tutoring made the transition straightforward. The digital whiteboard and structured lesson materials work very well for maths tutoring.
I’ve been able to see a variety of pupils from different schools all across England and gain a better understanding of the mind of a child, and how absorbent they are!
As an online tutor, the support of the coordinators and the tech team are invaluable – and always available. Post-session debriefs and ongoing training modules enable tutors to get together and get to know each other. There is always someone who has dealt with issues before, to offer advice etc.
