ACTION TUTORING
I was delighted to meet with Alice from Action Tutoring in my office in Newton Aycliffe last week.
Action Tutoring are a UK-wide charity that provides high quality tutoring for primary and secondary school students identified as disadvantaged across the country, using volunteers currently aged from 18-82; one of whom is a member of my team.
Last year over 2,300 volunteers taught helped more than 6,000 children. However, the number is continuing to grow, particularly with support from the Government's National Tutoring Programme which was launched in response to the Coronavirus pandemic and has allowed them to scale up further with the facility available for volunteers to tutor remotely over the internet, as well as in person.
