Team Up for Social Mobility
In the UK today, the best predictor of a child’s academic and social success remains the income and postcode of their parents. We believe that this is damaging to society as too many young people are unable to develop their skills and passions to shape their own destiny. Our aim at Team Up is to increase social mobility by establishing inspirational teams of volunteers - people like you - that empower disadvantaged pupils to reach their academic potential and improve their future prospects. We are also committed to developing our outstanding volunteer tutors, who gain demonstrable work experience and can - through our networks - get access to exclusive opportunities to strengthen their employability.
ABOUT US: 

We work in primary and secondary schools across London, providing small-group tuition to pupils from low income backgrounds that is effective, affordable and delivered by inspiring tutors.  

 

Our volunteer tutors work with pupils in groups of 1:3 to deliver high quality tuition to help increase their academic results and raise their aspirations.

WHY OUR WORK MATTERS: 

The majority of our pupils double their expected progress during one school term after having received small group tuition.

 

WHAT WE LOOK FOR IN OUR PEOPLE: 

Our inspirational volunteer tutors are drawn from a range of backgrounds, including university and sixth-form students, professionals, and retirees. They are all committed to making a difference to pupils’ lives, helping them fulfil their potential and their own personal development. We seek volunteers who are passionate, committed and can demonstrate academic skills in the subject that they tutor in their GSCE grades or equivalent, and interpersonal skills in the way that they engage the pupils they work with.
