Pronouns: she/her
Jen is the CEO of Action Tutoring, which she began in January 2025. Prior to this, Jen held several leadership roles across the organisation, including as Deputy CEO and heading up the Impact & Quality functions of the charity.
I moved to the UK in 2012 to teach through Teach First with the aim to work in the education charity sector after I had experienced what it’s like to be in the classroom. Action Tutoring was the perfect fit for me as I loved working on projects that were focused on social mobility and social justice. And while my Genetics degree isn’t used much these days, it also gave me the skills to lead the projects we run in the Impact and Quality team here at AT.
In Action Tutoring, I love that we never stop improving and innovating. No one is happy with anything less than a big impact and that’s really motivating. I also enjoy working with values-led colleagues who aren’t afraid to get stuck in to problem-solve. Action in name and action in nature!
Over the coming years, I’m looking forward to adding to our evidence base for online tutoring. I’m also looking forward to how we use technology to enable scale. Overall, I’m looking forward to AT growing in quality and quantity.
I love that Action Tutoring is ahead of the curve with our staff policies, which include a fertility policy, a menopause policy and a strong investment in mental health support.
