Enabling every child.

Our Mission
We want a world where income doesn't affect
education. So, we are on a mission to use the
power of tutoring to smash the barriers in
education and enable every child to succeed.

Joel Davis
Chief Executive
I speak for many when I say this period felt like a blur.
Just when we were preparing to go back to in-person
delivery, we were hit with the Omicron variant and had to
change our plans yet again. Straddling hybrid delivery
throughout the academic year, enduring Zoom fatigue
and what felt like everlasting periods of social distancing,
every staff member, tutor and pupil persevered with
smiles, humour, and endless enthusiasm.
through the journey to that magical moment at the
graduation.
In a year that marked a decade of Tutors United, in June
20221 announced that this would be my last full
financial year with the charity, which also means this is
my last TU Annual Report. Therefore, a considerable part
of the year's work was consolidation and preparation as
we laid the foundations for a record-breaking year ahead.
Expect more geographic growth, more brilliant individuals
joining the team, and even more magical moments for our
tutors, pupils and families. I will leave TU knowing that it
has everything it needs to continue learning, developing
and helping many more families smash those
educational barriers.
So, it's no surprise that the return of our in-person annual
Graduation was the highlight of the year. There's
something truly magical about seeing the families get
together to celebrate their pupils, beyond the academic
progress and the increased confidence in learning,
recognising that each significant achievement or small
milestone is a huge personal victory that will shape that
child's life. Behind every statistic is an incredible story of
a family overcoming many systemic hurdles. While we are
big on data here at TU, l acknowledge that some things
just cannot be measured. You have to be there to see it.
To hear it. To feel it. We hope this report will take you
Signing off for the last time, with smiles and full of TU joy.
Your founder and friend,

Board of Trustees - Chair
Tutors United achieved significant successes in 2021-22
as we exited the pandemic and dealt with a challenging
economic backdrop. We continued to finance and deliver
our tutoring services in person and remotely, allowing us
to serve more pupils across the country. We also saw the
return of our in-person graduation ceremony, the first
since 2019, where we celebrated our strong partnerships
and the success of the 564 pupils we tutored.
managing impact subcommittee, which continue to
ensure that Tutors United is appropriately resourced and
delivers outstanding outcomes for pupils.
We are entering a period of change for the charity. After
over 10 years as our CEO, Joel Davis is departing Tutors
United in early 2023. It was amazing to see his impact as
a leader acknowledged at our graduation event, and I
would like to take this opportunity to thank Joel for his
inspirational leadership in founding and building this
organisation, which I f irmly believe changes the lives of
the children and families we serve. We all wish him well
for an exciting future ahead.
TU has a big role to play in supporting systemic change. A
key theme of our work is to support the families of the
children we tutor. We believe that by empowering the
whole family to support learning, we can have a longer
lasting impact on a child's attainment. I'm delighted we
were able to share this approach to tackling educational
disadvantage with the wider education and policy-making
community at a panel event in February 2022.
We are in a strong position to continue executing our
strategy for 2021-2024, which focuses on three key
areas: increasing our influence, managing our income, and
expanding into new regions. I have no doubt that Tutors
United will continue to succeed in its mission: to smash
down barriers in education by delivering life-changing
tuition, which enables young people to succeed.
l am privileged to lead such a superb board at Tutors
United. We have a robust governance structure which
includes a finance, audit and risk committee, and a

What We Do
Tutors United hires and trains inspiring university students to deliver confidence-
boosting, attainment-raising tutorials to some of the country's coolest primary school
pupils. We are committed to bringing the benefits of tutoring to every child, ensuring
their socio-economic background doesn't hinder how much they can achieve in life.
Using the power of tutoring in core subjects, 8-11 year-olds from low-income
households receive regular academic support to transition to secondary school. Our
specially-devised curriculum was designed by expert teachers to complement the
National Curriculum. All our lessons are interactive, adaptable, and, most importantly,
fun.
We also engage parents through regular progress reports and training sessions designed
to improve literacy and numeracy, ensuring they are able to support their child's learning
at home.
Our brilliant tutors run lessons online and in local community centres, making them
accessible to all families looking to boost their child's attainment.

Families and the
Future of Learning
The pandemic brought learning into the home like never before, creating a shift in what we
expect from parents and carers with respect to their child's education. With schools now open
and back to normal, we were keen to look at what the effects of this shift were for primary
school pupils and if there were any opportunities we can build on, embracing and supporting
these new levels of parental involvement, to continue to close the attainment gap that the
pandemic exacerbated.

••é•'•?•

Post-Pandemic Learning Landscape
As we continue to gain distance from the
worst of the pandemic, we are only beginning
to understand the ways in which it deepened
inequalities in education. Even before Covid
hit, pupils from low-income backgrounds
were on average 9.5 months behind their
wealthier peers by the end of primary school.
By the time they sit their GCSES this gap
nearly doubles, meaning that those furthest
behind are less likely to afford external
support to narrow this life-changing gap.
This academic year has seen the most
consistent return to full-time education since
the pandemic, but this is not to say things
have fully returned to normal. According to
the latest national statistics, at Key Stage 2:
So, what does this mean?
What this all means is that while we are on
the road to recovery, there are still huge gaps
in learning that have yet to be addressed and
without increased support for those young
people most affected by disruptions in their
learning they will continue to fall further and
further behind, making them vulnerable to
becoming NEET (not in education,
employment, or training).
Pupils achieving the expected standards in
reading, writing and maths dropped from
65% in 2019 down to 59%, a decrease of 9.2/0.
During lockdown, pupils from the wealthiest
families had access to 31% more learning
time compared to those from low-income
backgrounds - equivalent to 75 minutes a
day. Even by summer 2021, following a year
of fairly consistent schooling, the Department
for Education found pupils, especially those
from low-income backgrounds, were facing
attainment levels below pre-pandemic levels
in Maths and English, with writing outcomes
for primary-aged and Year 7 children being
the most consistently negatively affected.
Sources
While the overall average is 5P/, only 43%
of disadvantaged pupils are achieving the
expected standards.

The Evolving Role of Parents
Creating a Legacy of Learning
We know children, especially at primary school, do
not learn in isolation and often rely on their family for
support - a trend which only increased during the
pandemic. But what does this mean as we shift back
to full-time face-to-face education?
Our research suggests, as we navigate out of the
pandemic, it is vital we take steps to narrow the
attainment gap by supporting kids inside and outside
of school. To maximise their learning, there is great
potential to provide support and guidance to parents
and carers. With this in mind, we have:
In a Censuswide survey conducted in July 2021, 790
of pupils aged 4-11 expressed they would like their
parents or guardians to continue to support them
with their schoolwork. The same children were
asked to rate how much they enjoyed their parents
teaching them during the pandemic with I being
'hated it, and 10 being 'the best thing ever., Despite
parents reporting feeling underprepared to support
their child's learning at home, the average rating was
an impressive 7, suggesting pupils positively
benefited from their parent's involvement with their
schooling.

parents and carers, with homework packs
and detailed answer booklets, individual
consultations, and more flexible parents,

underemphasised role parents play in education, and
we believe that the current moment represents a
great opportunity to empower parents."

What the Experts
Had to Say
We invited an amazing panel of experts to talk on this subject at our learning event that we ran in
February 2022. The purpose of the event was to unpack the impact of the pandemic on families and

This academic year, we began our entry to the marvellous Midlands,
delivering over 105 hours of tutoring in Maths and English to pupils
across Birmingham, Sandwell, and Leicestershire.

In Birmingham specifically, we worked across areas of need and
opportunity, such as Newtown, which is ranked as the most deprived
Birmingham ward, and Alum Rock, the fifth most (Index of
Deprivation, 2015), offering accessible and affordable tuition to local
residents to help level the playing field.

"50% of wards in Birmingham rank in the top IO% of literacy
need in England," according to research from the Literacy Trust
and Experian. Through continuing our work in these wards and
beyond, we can provide more families with the learning support
they need and reduce educational inequalities, increasing life
chances for pupils and their families.
Pupil Spotlight: Taybah
Taybah, a Year 4 pupil, has shown some amazing commitment to her
lessons across the year, boasting an attendance rate of 91%, which we
can all agree is amazing. This dedication to her learning has shone
through in her academic grades, as she has progressed by one whole
Year-Related Standard in English, progressing from a 3S to a 4S. On
average, a pupil progresses by 2-sub levels in English across an
academic year, so this pupil has smashed that target!
To achieve this, we will continue to invest in more Midlands-based
housing associations partnerships and expand our work with
community organisations and local schools. With extended EAL
support for our brilliant families and by offering both face-to-face
and online tuition, we can provide more accessibility and visibility
of our services.
In her lessons, although she sometimes wasn't as keen to do certain
tasks, she was engaged in every lesson and really tried her best.
Outside of her lessons she submitted some great work, in both the

Raising Attainment
To measure progress in attainment, our pupils sit three assessments in both English and Maths at
various points throughout the year. The English assessments take the form of a writing prompt,
while the Maths assessment is mirrored, where the same questions are presented but with different
numbers. English assessments are marked and moderated by specially-trained tutors or a member of
our team. All results and work are shared with parents and carers so they can see how their child is
progressing and where they still need to develop.
English
Many of our pupils come to our lessons with negative feelings towards English. That's why we've
designed our curriculum to help pupils find their voice and develop their skills, so they can use
writing to express themselves and engage with the world around them.
Our curriculum ref lects the diversity of our pupils and ensures that each child on our programme is
able to see themselves in our materials and also learn more about different cultures. Beyond that, we
know pupils have different interests and tastes, so we've selected a variety of texts from slam poetry
to fantasy stories. Some of our curriculum topics include:
'Iliill,:
Tales from other cultures
Persuasive writing
Performance poetry
Fantasy writing

Most of the classwork our pupils do in their English lessons revolves around developing
and improving their writing skills, to prepare them for the demands of secondary school,
where pupils will be expected to write persuasively and creatively at length.

Utilising a variety of topics, pupils are given opportunities to improve and practise their

Overall, after just 12 hours of English tutoring, our pupils went from a year-related

In-Person Graduations Are Back!
Olivia Meade
111, Head of Regions: South and London
At Tutors United we aim to deliver more than attainment-raising
tutorials for our pupils; we uplift, reward, and celebrate their hard
work. We recognise that this is crucial in building more resilient
and confident learners so they can see the benefits of education.
Our staple TU graduation event is a family-centred and interactive
celebration. Certificates, awards, valedictorian speeches, and
comedic pupil-led 'spoof videos,, with education at their heart, are
all brought together to tie up a successful academic year of growth
and development for the families in our flagship Tutoring Young
Residents Programme.
On the 2nd July 2022, we held our first in-person pupil graduation
ceremony since 2019 at the Rio Cinema, in the heart of East
London. We had over 350 pupils, family members, supporters,
Housing Association partners, and special guests join us to
celebrate the past academic year together.

We received fantastic feedback, with parents describing the
graduation as "amazing"
"incredible" and that it made "every child
feel special" Nashrin, a parent based in Whitmore, wanted to thank
the TU staff for the hard work that was put into the graduation, and
that she "really appreciates the effort that TU puts into their pupils"
Thank you, Fatiha.
Fatiha El-Ghorri was our brilliant emcee for our graduation this year,
and she certainly lived up to her reputation. As well as being a
hilarious comedienne, she aligned perfectly with our values as she is a
firm believer in educational equality and said herself that she has
experienced the impact that barriers to learning can have on a young
person's upbringing. Fatiha is also born and bred Hackney; there was
no one more fitting to lead us through the Graduation, in her home
borough, at the Rio Cinema.

Hearing from our valedictorians was a special highlight of the day,
using what they had learnt in their Tutors United lessons to reminisce
about their past year at TU and look forwards to what they will go on
to achieve in the future. In her speech, Amaira wanted to "thank
Tutors United for all the help and support they've given me and for
going the extra mile to build my confidence"

We were so happy to have the opportunity to host this event jointly
with two of our fantastic housing association partners: Metropolitan
Thames Valley Housing and A2Dominion. We are already excited for
our 2023 Graduation and can't wait for the next opportunity to
celebrate our brilliant TU pupils. But until then, take a look at some of
our pupil's spoof videos here and keep an eye out for our 2023

Dilan: A2Dominion Pupil of the Year
Lilly: MTVH Pupil of the Year
Dilan is Year 6 pupil who has made outstanding progress in not just
one but both of his subjects. In English, he progressed by over an
entire year level, bringing his score from an initial Year 3 standard to
writing at a Year 5 standard! In Maths, Dilan improved his score by
56%; going from an initial 45%, which is below average, to 700/0, which
is only 5% away from above average.
Lilly is a Year 6 pupil who has been attending lessons at Clapham Park
Cube since September 2020 when she was in Year 5.
Her mum, Carla, thinks the programme is "brilliant" and says that the
"TU team are so good at keeping [her] updated" with "extremely
valuable" regular feedback. She has noticed Lilly make progress in
both her English and Maths, which is confirmed by her assessment
results.
It wasn't just Dilan's impressive progress that made him stand out. His
tutor describes him as "an absolute gem of a student" and described
him as a "role model, in the way that he is able to contribute to
classroom discussion..- consistently and persistently with a smile.
With the skills and knowledge he has gained, we have absolutely no
doubt he will continue to excel as he starts secondary school.
In English, Lilly progressed by an entire year level, going from a Year 3
writing standard to a Year 4. In Maths, she progressed by an
outstanding 2000/,. With 92% attendance, Lilly exemplifies
commitment to the programme and her learning.

Our Long-Term Impact
Research shows that pupils who enter
secondary school behind their peers, tend to
fall further behind as they progress in their
schooling. This is why our work is founded
upon the principle of early intervention. We
want to ensure every child has the tools
necessary to successfully transition to
secondary school with a strong foundation of
knowledge and skills, so they can achieve
their f ull potential.

pupil who has moved on to Year 7,

Each year, we interview parents and carers
who had a child that graduated from our
programme and had gone on to complete
their first year at secondary school. We give
every family the opportunity to participate
and this year we spoke with 87 of them to get
their insights as to how their child was doing.
Another parent shared that their child, Aatik,
"improved his communication skills" and made
new friends while on the programme.

of parents agreed that Tutors United
helped their child transition into Year 7
In fact, the national average for
'disadvantaged' pupils meeting expectations in
reading, writing, and maths is 43% (DfE,
2022). However, a whopping 92% of our
former pupils were achieving their English
targets and 81Yo were achieving their Maths
targets. Looking at this through another lens:
Considering the pupils we work with are
statistically less likely to achieve as well as
their peers and were more likely to face
challenges related to the pandemic, we are so
proud of the fact that they are exceeding
national averages.
As a result of the additional tuition we
provided, 80°A of parents noticed an increase
in confidence in English and 76Yo noticed an
increase in confidence in Maths.

Our Growing
Commitment to Our Tutors
One of our key aims as an organisation is to give our tutors fantastic opportunities to develop key
transferable skills to support their employment after graduation. Our tutor offer is tailored to work
with a university timetable and workload while giving them targeted training and professional
development opportunities.
All tutors are trained by qualified teachers in how to manage a classroom and deliver lessons at the
right level. Our training ensures they are prepared for the challenges of tutoring and able to get the
most out of the experience in the development of important employability skills such as:
Adaptive communication
Organisation and time management
Stakeholder management
Leadership and presentation skills
rnnrn
Beyond that, they also receive guidance and training on how to represent their tutoring
experience on their Cvs and in job interviews with future employers. We know it isn't just
about getting the experience, but being able to leverage and apply it to fulfil professional aims.
A key focus for our growing Tutor Team, this year and going forward, has been to improve our
offer to tutors, continuing to provide new benefits to them beyond a competitive hourly rate.

We are determined to make working with TU
more than just your average part-time job for
university students. To do this, we have been
working on a dual approach to provide new
training and opportunities to current and former
tutors, enhancing their employability and
preparing them for graduate life.
workshops for our tutors. This has included
sessions on building networks, using Linkedln,
CV support, and money management. Our tutors
have responded brilliantly to these changes, and
we have seen this reflected in increased
attendance rates.

and this is just the beginning of the partnerships
and opportunities we are looking to offer.
Opportunities
As we and our networks grow, we are confident
that the number and scale of these opportunities
will multiply as well. We are determined to be
recognised as one of the most appealing
undergraduate employers in the UK and are
excited to see what the future will hold as we
work to achieve this.
Training
We are also working to provide current and
former tutors with individually-designed

Tutor Spotlight: Khadijat
Tutor Spotlight: Lily
Khadijat is a Marketing and Management 2nd year
student at the University of Manchester and one
of our brilliant English tutors. This was her first
year at Tutors United, but she quickly stood out
for her incredible commitment and enthusiasm for
her classes.
Lily has taught English and Maths at Tutors United
this year, while also keeping busy as a 2nd year
Law Student at the University of Bristol. Lily really
enjoyed being able to interact with the bubbly
personalities of her pupils and watching their
abilities develop week by week.
Something she really loved about her lessons was
observing students who were shy at the start of
the programme, becoming 'visibly more confident,
contributing ideas and reading more in lessons.,
As Lily pursues a career in law, she knows that
'patience goes hand in hand with resilience,,
qualities that she believes she has learnt from her
class and which are imperative in the legal sector.
As the Clarion Newtown pupils were working at
different abilities, Lily knew it was really important
to ensure that she 'remained calm and patient,
allowing pupils to work at their own pace,.
After reflecting on how this experience will
support her future employment, Khadijat observed
that learning to anticipate the individual needs of
her pupils will build toward her leadership skills
and a career in marketing, which will require her to
'anticipate the needs of her clients, and have 'high
levels of organisation.
She must be on to something as, one of her pupils,
Tobias believes that Lily is the 'best teacher in the
world, and attributed her skills to helping him to
improve his confidence in his learning.
Given Khadijat's passion and dedication to her
pupils, we have absolutely no doubt that she will
continue to find success beyond graduation.

Celebrating 6 Years with City University's
Micro-Placement Programme

tutorsunited
Since 2016, we have been working with City
University's Micro-Placement Programme to offer
their undergraduates a taste of the education charity
sector through a variety of summer projects.
The purpose of the programme is to offer
opportunities for students who want to explore
careers different from those traditionally associated
with their degree while also giving them some real-
world professional experience.
Over the years, micro-placements have played an
integral role in organising our graduation events,
researching our long-term impact, recruiting our
tutors, and designing summer activities. This year we
welcomed 10 fantastic students - our biggest cohort
of micro-placements yet!
We are proud of our ongoing participation in the
programme and, through this partnership, we have
been able to expand our summer activities and more
effectively report on our impact.
We'd like to give a special thanks to
our amazing team of micro-placements this year:
Jesse Boloco, an Economics student, who was one of
this year's Data and Reporting Assistants, shared,
°Not only have I learnt about the organisation and
their impact on communities up and down the
country, but also about how organisations work
with data in a professional environment, particularly
for the use of summarising and presenting it to
clients."

l already feel like I've got the best job in the world. I've
had the warmest of welcomes from our fantastic
founder and outgoing CEO Joel Davis, our super
talented team and dedicated trustees, and our wonderful
partners and funders.
Tutors United's impact, resilience and flexibility
throughout the pandemic is seriously impressive and I've
been instantly struck by the hope, passion and impact
that is infused in everything at TU.
I have so much energy and excitement for leading TU
into its next phase. I can't wait to build on Joel's
incredible legacy and reach even more young people
and families with our life-changing programmes in 2023
and beyond.
I'm lucky to have inherited an exciting strategy to grow
our core tutoring programmes into new areas, cultivate
new partnerships, and increase our influence on
education policy and practice both nationally and locally.
