IntoUniversity is an education organisation that provides local learning centres where young people are inspired to achieve. It is a welcoming home-from-home for young people: a safe space to learn, explore and succeed. Each local centre offers an innovative programme that supports young people aged seven and up to realise their ambitions, achieve their academic potential, develop vital skills and gain experience of the world of work.

IntoUniversity has been working at the heart of communities since 2002, and now operates 35 learning centres in 18 UK towns and cities. We have ambitious plans to expand to 41 centres by 2024 and work with thousands more young people in need of our support.

What?
You will be supporting students aged 7-18 with either their homework, revision, study skills or with IntoUniversity’s structured curriculum. Sessions are free and take place after school in our local learning centres. Depending on the session, you may work one-to-one or with a group of students.
