About the programme

The one to one tuition programme's aim is to help children gain more confidence and understanding in English and maths at key stages 2, 3 and 4.

The programme complements classroom teaching by addressing barriers to learning that are personal and particular to each child and is designed for the pupils who would benefit the most:

started the key stage behind the national expectations
are falling behind during the latter stages of a key stage
are looked after children who would benefit from individual support

Becoming a tutor

There are many benefits to becoming a tutor on the one to one tuition programme. It is highly flexible: the tutor decides how many pupils to tutor, and when and where to give tuition (it can take place at the child’s school or in a town centre location such as a library).

The programme is open to newly qualified, current, former and retired teachers.

Funding will meet the cost of the tuition sessions (plus two hours liaison and training time), school participation and the cost of some central support activities at LA level.
