Get Further exists to support students from disadvantaged backgrounds in further education to secure gateway English and maths qualifications that unlock opportunities.
We are the only non-profit tutoring organisation working exclusively with further education – specifically with colleges, sixth forms and independent learning providers. We focus our efforts here because 70% of students studying GCSE English and maths in further education are from disadvantaged backgrounds. And further education colleges are severely under-funded.
We’re recruiting and training talented tutors to deliver a bespoke curriculum, designed by expert, qualified English and maths teachers, that builds student confidence and skills in these core subjects. As a Get Further Tutor, you will have a direct impact on the life chances of students helping them to improve their skills and achieve key qualifications that open doors for future study and work.
One in three students leave school each year without a pass in GCSE English and maths - this rises to over one in two for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. Having a tutor to provide tailored support and rebuild confidence can help students close gaps in their education – but too often, this is out of reach for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds studying in further education. Apply now and help more young people GET FURTHER – so that this moment doesn’t hold them back for the rest of their lives.
