Student Tutoring

You will act as an assistant, helping to raise the achievements and aspirations of learners by taking part in a wide range of activities alongside staff. There are opportunities to work in the following settings:

• primary school
• secondary school or college
• special school
• on the University campus

With all tutoring placements you will gain valuable practical experience and develop your:

• graduate skills
• occupational awareness
• ability to set and work towards goals in the workplace
• ability to talk about these skills and achievements in interview situations

School placements

We will usually arrange your placement for you; however, if you have a prior connection with a local school or college, as an ex-pupil or through a previous placement, it may be possible for you to arrange your own. If you think you would like to do this, you must contact Marketing and Student Recruitment for further guidance before taking action yourself.

Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check (formerly CRB check)

For student tutoring, you must apply for an Enhance Disclosure and Barring Service check (formerly CRB check) via the Careers Service. Information on how and when to apply will be sent to all students enrolled on the module.
