About The Access Project
We support high-potential students from disadvantaged backgrounds to gain access to top universities, through a unique combination of tuition and in-school mentoring. We work with them to make good applications, get the grades and transition to university. The programme combats educational inequality and improves social mobility by raising students’ grades and supporting them to understand the pathway to a top university. Our results show this approach works.
According to our 2021 Impact Report, 92% of our students applied to a top University and 86% were offered a place at a top University. The Access Project students gain up to six months of extra progress after two years of tuition. Our ambition is to reach more young people whilst maintaining this exceptionally high impact.
About the role
This is an exciting opportunity for experienced tutors with a love of learning to support disadvantaged students to reach their full academic potential whilst still earning a competitive market rate for their tuition expertise.
As part of our commitment to raising student attainment we are in the third year of piloting a new approach to tuition for A Level students enrolled on The Access Project’s programme. This pilot tests the feasibility and the impact of small group tuition (3-4 students) delivered by experienced tutors. Tutors that deliver the pilot will have a strong association with our mission to widen access to top universities as well as being high quality tutors.
Successful applicants will deliver tuition via our online platform to small groups in either English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, or Psychology A Level. Tutors will responsively plan their lessons to suit their groups members’ strengths, weaknesses and learning preferences.
There will be the opportunity for flexible working but applicants should have a minimum of three hours per week to devote to tutoring The Access Project students.
Requirements
Duties and responsibilities
- To organise, plan and deliver weekly 1-hour long group tuition sessions to groups of A Level students (Year 12 or 13) via The Access Project’s bespoke online platform.
- To complete weekly online student attendance forms and liaise with the Senior Attainment Coordinator to ensure the smooth running of the pilot.
- To contribute to the development of The Access Project’s attainment raising pilot through feedback sessions and focus groups.
- To adhere to The Access Project’s finance and remuneration process by supplying monthly invoices.
Person specification
- Two years of tutoring experience required or qualified teacher status (tutoring references from at least two previous employers or parents of tutored students preferred)
- Evidence of the ability to tutor English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, or Psychology to A Level standard
- Familiarity with and strong knowledge of exam specifications and relevant exam boards
