Volunteer Tutoring |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
As well as our paid part-time staff we have a number of volunteers who kindly donate their time to tutoring students. We are very grateful to them and they are a great asset to us. We provide a free training course (usually starting in September each year) for people who wish to become volunteer tutors. If you wish you can also study for a qualification which may help to further your career.

| Volunteer Tutor Jack's experience: "Having trained as a volunteer tutor, I was very nervous about my first assignment with a student. Will he like me? Will I like him? Will I do any good? Will I do any harm? I now realise that these are the wrong questions. We, my student and I, are making good progress and we are enjoying the process. It is all about teamwork and the process does nothing without it." |

Volunteer Tutor Les' experience: "Everyone wants to feel they’re making a difference. Helping someone improve their basic literacy and numeracy skills is probably one of the most significant differences you can make in helping another person improve their quality of life. Bryan and I have been working together now for the best part of a year and I am constantly amazed at his cheerfulness, enthusiasm and initiative in relation to his own progress. Immediately after beginning some numeracy work using a calculator, Bryan went out and bought his own to practice at home. Soon after starting to use some of the exercises on the BBC Skillswise website, Bryan turned up with his own laptop computer! It’s been a pleasure to see how much progress he has made over the year and to feel I've been able to make a contribution to the journey." |
