Tutorcast
Welcome to Tutor Trust’s podcast where we explore the hugely rewarding world of tutoring. As well as top tips for the classroom, you can hear some unique perspectives and challenging viewpoints along the way in our interviews with education experts. Whether you’re a tutor, teacher, student, or simply interested in education, Tutorcast will help you unpick what matters in the classroom. We’re an award-winning tutoring charity, operating across Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire and Merseyside, and our mission is to transform lives through tutoring. We strive for equity in education, supporting young people who may not otherwise have access to tutoring, in order to improve attainment as well as confidence. In the academic year 2022/2023 we supported 6,480 pupils, delivered 34,000 hours of tutoring and partnered with 156 schools. Subscribe to Tutorcast to hear a fresh new episode on the last Friday of the month. And in between, keep up to speed with all that we’re doing over on our socials - you can find us @TheTutorTrust

Vicky Sadler, our Deputy Director of Training, chats to Matt Wallis and Lucy Farnan-Stone about their roles, the importance of delivering high-quality tuition for our tutees in primary and secondary schools, and how we work with our tutors to ensure we maximise the impact of every hour of tuition.
