You’ll get so much out of being a Team Up tutor
  • Make your university application stand out: Being a Team Up tutor will be a valuable addition to your university/UCAS application or CV. It’s your chance to gain real life experience to improve your leadership, teamwork, communication and organisational skills.
  • Career experience and advice: You’ll have access to employability seminars exploring pathways into different professions like law or coding. Being a Team Up tutor will also give you great experience of teaching, if that’s a career you’re interested in pursuing.
  • References: You can benefit from references written by our programme managers and use these in the future as part of the Duke of Edinburgh assessment.
Make connections
  • Get a mentor: We’ll pair you with a mentor from the world of business or another field you’re interested in. Your mentor can help you in a way that suits you. That could be sharing their valuable wisdom, planning out your education and career, filling in UCAS or job application forms or practising your interview technique. You’ll meet your mentor every 12 weeks or so over a year for an hour.
  • Meet current university students: You’ll have the chance to work alongside and get advice from Team Up volunteers who are currently university students and also network with people from all walks of life, broadening your experience.
Become part of the Team Up community
  • Meet new friends: Volunteering as a tutor is a great way to meet new, like-minded friends. You’ll be working alongside other tutoring volunteers at your school, and supporting one another at your weekly debriefs.
  • Connect with pupils: You’ll also have the chance to make connections with our pupils, and inspire them to transform their futures.

What I think of Team Up...

“From Team Up, you can develop the important connection between tutor and tutee that is rarely found outside of these sessions.

“I’ve helped them understand that school and learning isn’t just about exams. Having more mentors in school would be a good thing…teachers just don’t have time in their jobs.”
