Aspire Volunteer: Maths & English support

On Monday evenings during term time, Leatherhead Youth Project (LYP) runs a project called Aspire to help support young people in school years 11 - 13.

This includes maths & English tutorship to help them gain GCSE or functional skills qualifications, money budgeting sessions and support with exploring further education, volunteering or job opportunities.

This opportunity would suit a volunteer who is interested in supporting young people in helping them to gain qualifications and providing support as they decide their next steps after school and college.

All the sessions are planned in advance by the 16+ Provision Lead and shared with the volunteers. Each session is tailored to the individual needs of the young people attending.

What skills do I need?

• To be friendly, welcoming and encouraging to the young people attending.
• Engage young people in learning and help build their confidence.
• Support neurodiverse young people and adapt the learning to suit their individual needs.
• Have a good knowledge of foundation GCSE and functional skills maths and English to be able to provide tutorship to the young people.
• Have the ability to adapt your teaching to suit different learning styles.
