Description

Subject: Pan-STEM

The University of Bath employs students to work in local schools and colleges to support both teaching and learning in specific subject areas and other activities which include:

  • lunchtime / after school clubs
  • homework, revision and coursework sessions
  • PSHE / tutoring support

The scheme aims to:

  • provide positive role models for study in particular subjects and to demonstrate enthusiasm and a positive approach to learning
  • provide support with the delivery of the national curriculum
  • raise the achievement of those school students involved in the scheme, that are at risk of under-achieving
  • help school students acquire and develop study skills in order to improve the effectiveness of their application to their studies
  • help raise school students' self-esteem, motivation and confidence
  • help raise school students' awareness of their opportunities, in particular of higher education

Student tutors attend a specialised training programme to prepare them for the tutoring role. They receive on-going support to enable them to provide high quality tutoring support to the young people they work with. All student tutors will undergo Criminal Records Bureau Enhanced disclosures.
