Top quality GCSE tutoring: bringing Action Tutoring to your school
Are you looking for effective GCSE tutoring? Discover how Action Tutoring can provide high-quality support in maths and English for pupils facing disadvantage in your school. By partnering with us, you can offer targeted, impactful tuition to help your young people succeed.
Why choose Action Tutoring?
- Proven impact: Our GCSE tutoring programmes have proven impact. Pupils who participate in ten or more sessions with Action Tutoring are significantly more likely to achieve a level 4 compared to other pupils facing disadvantage across the country. For instance, in maths, our pupils are 13 percentage points more likely to pass their GCSEs.
- Tailored tutoring programmes: We offer flexible, small-group sessions tailored to the needs of each school and pupil. Our sessions, which can be conducted in-person or online, run before, during, or shortly after the school day, ensuring high attendance and engagement.
- Minimal workload for schools: We handle the logistics and administration, allowing teachers to focus on their existing responsibilities. Our Programme Coordinators oversee the delivery and quality assurance of our sessions.
- Low cost solution: We understand the current pressures on school budgets, so we fundraise to heavily subsidise the cost of our programmes, meaning schools pay just 30% of all costs.
Please note that if you’re a parent or pupil looking for a GCSE tutor, you will need to refer us to your school by emailing this guide, and ask them to get in touch.
How our GCSE tutoring programmes work
- Small group sessions: Our tutoring sessions are delivered in small groups, typically with a tutor-to-pupil ratio of no larger than 1:3. This allows for personalised attention and support, helping pupils to grasp complex concepts and build confidence.
- Comprehensive curriculum: Our curriculum is developed by specialist leads in maths and English, ensuring that the content is aligned with current educational research and best practices. In secondary schools, we focus on filling knowledge gaps and preparing pupils for their GCSEs, with resources that are continuously reviewed and updated.
- Flexible scheduling: We understand the importance of convenience and flexibility. Our sessions can be scheduled before, during, or shortly after the school day, based on what works best for your school and its pupils. We work closely with schools to ensure high attendance and engagement, with no sessions during school holidays.
The role of schools in our programme
- Partnering with Action Tutoring means collaborating to identify young people who would benefit most from our support. We prioritise pupils eligible for Pupil Premium funding or Free School Meals, aiming to close the attainment gap. Our dedicated Programme Coordinators handle all logistics, from initial assessments to progress tracking, providing regular feedback to schools.
