University partnerships
Our university partnerships are a cornerstone of our
success. They enable us to tap into a rich pool of talented
tutors while creating meaningful wider bene昀椀ts for learners,
institutions and communities.
We create opportunity
Our Widening Participation (WP)
scheme o昀昀ers a guaranteed interview
to applicants who are eligible for
university access schemes. This
year 45% of our newly recruited
tutors were from WP backgrounds,
meaning they’re more likely to be
from socially deprived backgrounds
and are therefore at the highest risk
of dropping out of university.
Tutoring into teaching
Tutoring is a key pathway into teaching,
giving tutors the opportunity to gain
experience in the education sector.
40% of surveyed tutors report that their
experience of being a tutor has either
sparked or strengthened their interest
in teaching, and 37% are motivated
by achieving impact on pupils.
We are grateful for our
partner Universities who are
supporting us to recruit high
quality tutors who are making
a signi昀椀cant impact to the
young people they support.

We connect
communities
Tutoring creates a meaningful link
between students and their communities.
This year, 84% of our tutors rated their
connection to the local community as
Good or Excellent, and this was even
higher among our WP tutors, at 86%.
The Tutor Trust mission means
a lot to me because being able
to give students an opportunity
to learn and be educated is an
opportunity not everyone has.
So, being able to give back and
help develop our community
is rewarding to say the least.
