Could you volunteer as a tutor to support local pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds?

Hi ED forum, I run an education charity working with schools across London and excitingly we've just signed up our first school in Dulwich. We offer GCSE tutoring to pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds who are at risk of leaving school without basic qualifications. This school is near North Dulwich station and has a cohort of pupils eligible for free school meals who would really benefit from some individual support with their English. They wouldn't be able to afford tutoring otherwise.

The commitment is just for a few weeks, with tutoring taking place from 12-1.30pm at the school.

You'd be tutoring English language but you don't need to be a qualified teacher, training and resources are provided. Find out more at: www.actiontutoring.org.uk or apply directly: http://www.tfaforms.com/332860

Could you give up just a small amount of time to help a local child succeed at a crucial point in their education?

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
