Marketing and Communications Team

Fleur Peel

What brought me to Action Tutoring is it’s mission – that education is the key that unlocks a young person’s future. I believe passionately that everyone should have access to the same opportunities to succeed and I love that we are enabling that every day.

I have an inspiring team who constantly amaze me with their creativity and their enthusiasm. It’s a privilege to work with them every day. I also have a very varied role and no two days are the same, things are constantly changing which keeps me on my toes and always learning.

What I love about working at Action Tutoring is the brilliant passionate, supportive team; the clear focus on our mission and the drive to continually improve. In the future, I’m looking forward to continuing to improve what we do, having a bigger impact and ensuring more young people can benefit from our support from across the country.

I’ve found access to the Headspace app hugely valuable. From the short daily meditations to the sleep casts, there’s a huge range of supportive content which you can access day or night to help you prioritise your wellbeing.

I’ve always had an interest in the education sector and improving outcomes for learners. I’ve been familiar with Action Tutoring as a charity for some time, and I am incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to work for an organisation that makes a difference to the lives of so many young people facing disadvantage.

I like the variety of the role and the opportunity to work with so many great people that care deeply about our industry. And seeing the positive impact tutoring has on pupil learning outcomes, and pupil confidence!

I am looking forward to reaching more schools and increasing the number of schools we partner with, so that more pupils can benefit from impactful tutoring.

Our Team Days present such a fantastic opportunity to work collaboratively with colleagues across all departments, who we don’t work with every day.

Having previously worked in a school as a Teaching Assistant, I saw first-hand how tailored interventional support positively impacted pupils who were struggling in the class I worked in. Action Tutoring’s mission of closing the attainment gap with tutoring support is what attracted me to apply. 

I most love working with such a supportive and collaborative team, and feeling motivated on a day-to-day basis by the mission we’re working towards. My role is really varied, which I love. I feel most excited when planning marketing campaigns.

I really value the chance to participate in working groups outside of our main job roles. My involvement with the Data and Insights working group gave me tangible experience that I could draw on for my interview for my current role!

Rebecca Russell

I enjoy the chance to be part of an organisation that makes such a difference to lives of underprivileged children. Also the people of AT, every person is so impassioned about the cause and so genuinely kind and helpful to each other.

As the Communications and Media Manager, I enjoy the chance to be creative and how every day is different. I get to utilise my organisation skills and also have the chance to expand my knowledge and expertise in as many other areas through the support of my colleagues.

Sam Crampton

I love getting to know tutors and pupils, bringing them together and seeing the positive impact this has on the lives of the young people facing disadvantage that we’re here to support. I really enjoy that every day is a little bit different, and that I get to travel to schools, meeting pupils and tutors, and deliver tutoring. I’m always learning something new!

Our team days are a fantastic opportunity to get together, learn from teams in other regions, share experiences of working in a range of communities and have fun with your team!

Sabīne Znotiņa

I enjoy the passion of everyone at AT and their commitment to making a difference. Everyone is always ready to help out and share their experiences and knowledge.

I have previously worked with children and young people and it is incredibly rewarding to see them progress and succeed. The ability to continue doing that along with AT’s mission and values closely aligning to my own is what brought me to AT!

The team days are definitely a highlight for me. It’s a great opportunity for everyone to see each other, exchange knowledge and learn something new!

Karina Larsen

Growing up with a teacher as a mother, the value and importance of education was instilled in me from a young age. I believe that every child deserves an equal opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background, and Action Tutoring’s mission to bridge the educational attainment gap for pupils facing disadvantage is something that resonates deeply with me.

The expansion of our virtual programmes means that we are able to increase our reach and means that we can make a bigger impact on closing the attainment gap for pupils facing disadvantage, including ones that would not ordinarily have access to these kinds of programmes due to their location.

Brenda Turnbull

I really enjoy being able to message or chat with anyone in the organisation. I appreciate the way we work to try and make what we do inclusive and impactful. I enjoy setting up and running programmes, meeting and working with incredible school staff, pupils and tutors. I have to also mention my driven and inspiring co-workers!

I’m looking forward to increasing our impact by using data and case studies to ensure we’re working in the right schools and with pupils who need help the most.

Lilah Sharp

I enjoy working at Action Tutoring because of my colleagues are so friendly and supportive. In my role specifically, I enjoy developing partnerships with universities. I also value being able to work from home. I was drawn to applying to work for Action Tutoring because I want to help fight social injustice. I’m looking forward to reaching more students to get involved in volunteering.

Cathy Perera

I’ve always wanted to make a difference in the lives of young people facing disadvantage across the country. I believe every child deserves equal access to high quality education which opens up opportunities for them in their future.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with such a range of passionate individuals across our various teams, picking up knowledge and skills in different areas of the charity.
