A great opportunity to have a positive impact from home and help during these hard times !

'Hey everyone - hope you're well!
Would you like to gain a leadership accreditation, volunteer hours for your CV or a placement, full coach training, and crucially give support to disadvantaged school pupils??
We're looking for University students to join the CoachBright team as a tutor in Spring 2021.
COVID-19 has had huge impact on school students - making the disadvantage gap wider than ever before. We are at a point again where schools are shutting meaning online support for our pupils is more important than ever and we would love for you to get involved!
CoachBright run 1-1 tutoring sessions, online or in person, with pupils from low income backgrounds in local secondary schools to help them improve their grades, confidence and independence. You'll tutor for just one hour a week, for 7 to 12 weeks depending on the school, and you can tutor in English, maths or science GCSE, or a wide range of A-levels!
There are thousands of school children across the UK who could benefit from your time - apply today via bit.ly/coachbrightspringterm2021, and pass on to your friends too. Feel free to drop me a message with any questions at [email protected] , or look at our website at coachbright.org to find out more. Take care, stay safe, and we can't wait to read your application!'
