They're looking for professionals in Birmingham, with an undergraduate degree, who would be willing to volunteer an hour a week as a tutor to support disadvantaged young people to improve their GCSE and A level grades.
Use your professional experience to put learning into real-life context by helping to inspire, motivate and raise aspirations of local young people towards further education & the world of work.
