Educational Disadvantage: The Importance of Tutors

Welcome to The Qualified Tutor Podcast

Action Tutoring is a heavyweight of the tutoring world and we are incredibly lucky, as we so often are, to have had the chance to speak to Susannah Hardyman, Founder of the organisation.

Susannah is in an almost unrivalled position to comment on the current situation of the education system, on the importance of tutors to students and parents around the country and on the significant impact that one-to-one tuition can have on a student's success and self-confidence. Susannah tutored for many years towards the end of her school days, into her university and after graduating. After working alongside this in the charitable sector, she set up Action Tutoring as a way to open up the affluent and elite world of private tuition to the thousands of students who needed it most - and today, she has made this a reality.

Volunteering as a tutor is the most rewarding role in the industry, because of the difference you make. It's a cliché but it's a cliché for a reason. For all of our listeners and community base who are tutors themselves, please do consider signing up with Action Tutoring or one of the other many volunteer tutoring charities, and make the difference that your ability has made you able to.

Qualified Tutor is a tutor-training organisation, with a suite of high-quality, industry-first programmes. The Level 3 Qualification for Tutors (qualifiedtutor.org/training/level-3-qualification-for-tutors/) consists of 8 weeks of online learning, interactive live sessions with peers and expert facilitation at every step of the way, and will set you apart in a crowded space.

Our CPD-Accredited Tutor Training (qualifiedtutor.org/training/online-tutor-training-seminar/) is a 4-week course in teaching and learning, and comes with a Certificate of Completion and a teaching qualification that many tutors will never have had the chance to obtain. Be the first to take the next step in tutoring.

We can't wait to see you there.
