One to One Tuition Programme

The One to One Tuition Programme is a Government-funded initiative to help children gain more confidence and understanding in English and maths. Designed for the pupils who would benefit the most, it complements classroom teaching by addressing barriers to learning that are personal and particular to each child. Key stage 2, 3 and 4 pupils will benefit from the programme.

There are many benefits to becoming a tutor on the One to One Tuition Programme. It is highly flexible: the tutor decides how many pupils to tutor, and when and where to give tuition (it can take place at the child’s school or in a town centre location such as a library). Tutors on the programme will get paid a typical rate of £25 per hour for 12 hours per pupil – 10 hours tuition and two hours planning and liaison time with the pupil’s teacher. Tuition training will be offered.

The programme is open to newly qualified, current, former and retired teachers.


Guidance for tutors

Guidance is currently available in the DCSF publication Developing one-to-one tuition.
