Sign up to our programme 2. Sign up to any of our 2.5 hour training sessions over the summer, there are various dates so you can find one that suits you. During this session you’ll learn everything you need to know for your weekly one hour tutoring sessions. 3. You’ll complete a DBS check (criminal records check) and an online safeguarding course. 4. We’ll match you with a student who is looking for support in your subject. In particular, we are seeing high demand from our students for support with sciences and maths.
