Our volunteer tutors who work directly with children generally have no teaching background. We also have "Mentors" - volunteers with experience as primary school teachers who train and support these volunteers so that they can understand the children's needs and help them acquire skills, confidence, and a sense of achievement in maths. Your role will be to drive the development of support material and processes which the Mentors and In-School Volunteers can use to maximise the effectiveness of the work we do with children.
