From tutor to advocate: Championing equity in education (16)

Inspiring futures: Tutoring's influence on education and beyond 

Tutor Trust is a registered charity, who aims to work with young people who might otherwise be unable to access tutoring.    

With over a decade of experience, we know how to make in-school tutoring work effectively. We partner with primary and secondary schools and alternative provision providers as well as colleges across Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire and Merseyside.   

Tutoring isn't just about boosting grades; it's about empowering pupils and nurturing their aspirations. By bridging the gap between privilege and opportunity, tutoring becomes a powerful tool for social change, transforming lives and reshaping futures. 

This three-part podcast series explores the far-reaching influence of in-school tutoring on pupils, tutors, communities, and the broader education landscape, as well as the profound impact of being part of the Tutor Trust community.

From personal journeys to systemic change, our episodes explore how tutoring with Tutor Trust can ignite passions, foster a commitment to educational equity, and shape career aspirations. Through candid conversations with experienced tutors and educators, we'll uncover the transformative power of tutoring and its potential to inspire a new generation of leaders. 

Episode 2: Developing a commitment to educational equity through tutoring - In this episode, we explore how a tutor's experiences can ignite a passionate commitment to educational equity and a lifelong dedication to social change. Join us as we hear from Cara Simm, an impassioned advocate for educational equity, who shares her inspiring story of how tutoring shaped her career path and fuelled her drive to contribute towards a more just and equitable society.        

As Cara, eloquently states, "So, just by understanding and acknowledging the challenges ...and just championing charities like Tutor Trust, we'll be helping to ensure that there are opportunities for students regardless of their background. And I think that current Tutor Trust tutors could be our future leaders, and they can, and they should take with them their passion for advocating for change into whatever role and career they end up in." 

Whether you're a current tutor, a prospective teacher, or simply interested in the power of education, this podcast series offers valuable insights and inspiring stories. Tune in to discover how tutoring can shape futures and make a lasting impact on society.
