The Tutor Trust

Who we are

About Tutor Trust

The Tutor Trust is a registered charity which aims to tackle educational inequality in a unique way. Our mission is to 'transform lives through tutoring’ by making sure every child who needs some additional academic support can access a great tutor. We acheive this by recruiting and training tutors in the core subjects of Maths, English and Science and placing them in state schools.

We have won multiple awards and are now recognised as one of the most innovative and impactful education charities in the UK. We have been partnering with schools to deliver tutoring since 2012, and we are confident that our model works.

Randomised Control Trials (RCTs) are the gold standard for evidence of impact, and we are unique in the UK education sector in having successful results from two RCTS, both of which were commissioned by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), to our name. 

 A proudly Northern born-and-bred charity, we serve Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire and Merseyside.

Our culture and values

We believe in fairness

We want every child and young person to have the opportunity to achieve their full potential and we want all pupils to get all the support they need to overcome any barriers they face. We are a generous collaborator with all those who share our vision and values.

We are passionate about making a difference

We care deeply about boosting outcomes and improving life chances for children and young people in our communities. We do everything we can to make it easy and affordable for schools to work with us effectively.

We are inclusive and supportive

We nurture all our people to thrive and succeed by caring, by listening and by investing in their talents and well-being. We believe that every team member, tutor and trustee has an important voice and a vital role.

We are quality-focused

We strive for high professional standards in every aspect of our work to maximise the beneficial impact of tutoring. The pupils we serve deserve the very best.

We are ambitious

We aspire to be more than a match for the massive challenges of inequality, through both the scale and the quality of our work. We constantly innovate and we want to expand our reach in tandem with refining our programmes.

We learn

We constantly seek feedback, perform analysis and explore new ways both to draw on and contribute to the research evidence. An open and reflective culture underpins our approach to continuous improvement.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

As a learning organisation, we’re continually reflecting on and improving our practice in regard to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I). We're committed to equality of opportunity for all our staff, tutors and tutees, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, religion or belief, disability, ethnic origin, age, or nationality.

This commitment is embedded in our mission, vision and values. In particular, in our firm beliefs in fairness, empowered inclusivity, and continuous learning and reflection. 

We’ve developed an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I) Staff Group to put our beliefs into practice and embed ED&I into everything we do.
