“The best tutor I’ve ever had”: How our volunteers are helping students thrive
Autumn term can be a stressful time - especially for Year 13 students, who may be balancing writing their university applications with their final year of learning before A-levels. Our volunteers have gone above and beyond this term to provide support to our sixth form learners — here’s what the students have had to say about the support they’ve provided…
“I have improved a lot more because of the tutoring. The way the lessons are explained, I really understand it. [My tutor] goes through the topics and questions that I don’t understand which is really great - the best tutor I’ve ever had!”
“I’m really happy with [my tutor], I get a lot out of the lessons every week”
“[My tutor] is supportive for gaps not covered in school - it’s enriching to have her!”
“In the beginning of [Year 12], Chemistry was my worst subject but after my tutoring sessions I feel like I’m more confident and now I feel more satisfied with where I am - I understand the subject more and find it easier than I did.”
“The lessons are very productive, and the tutor is really helping - I tell him what I’m studying and he prepares good resources for the next lesson”
“[My tutor] has been so helpful in the run up to UCAS: giving resources, looking over my personal statement, and having lots of discussions about economics and current affairs”
We’re so grateful for the way our volunteers support our students with their in-school studies as well as their university applications - making a stressful time that little bit easier!
