Student Tutoring

You will act as an assistant in a local primary school, secondary school, FE college, or community setting, helping to raise the achievements and aspirations of learners.

With all tutoring options you will gain valuable practical experience through supporting teaching staff across a wide range of activities. You will develop your:

  • graduate skills;
  • occupational awareness;
  • ability to set and work towards goals in the workplace;
  • ability to talk about these things 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 completing 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 Jim Wood for further guidance before taking action yourself.

*Local is considered to be Newcastle, Gateshead, North Tyneside, South Tyneside or Northumberland.

Community placements

Community placement opportunities (PDF: 122KB) are available in a wide-range of settings such as hospital schools, working with at-risk groups, after-school IT clubs, libraries and museum education.

Criminal Record Bureau check

For student tutoring, you must apply for a Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) enhanced disclosure via the Careers Service by 28 September 2012.
