The Mohn Westlake Foundation is supporting Tutor Trust to reach as many disadvantaged children as possible and give them the chance in education they deserve.

Quality assurance and impact measurement are a fundamental part of Tutor Trust’s culture. With The Mohn Westlake Foundation’s support, the charity is recruiting four qualified teachers to lead on this work to ensure that each hour of tuition provided to pupils is of the highest quality and delivers the greatest impact.

The Mohn Westlake Foundation’s grant will also ensure that Tutor Trust can offer generous discretionary discounts to schools, to benefit pupils who need tutors the most.

Tutor Trust is now planning the next stage of its development to reach as many disadvantaged pupils as possible and to do so in the most effective manner.

In November 2018, the Education Endowment Foundation published the results of a major independent evaluation of Tutor Trust. This report gave the Tutor Trust gold standard evidence and solid proof of the quality and impact of its work. In February 2019, Tutor Trust was named one of the EEF’s `Promising Projects’, meaning the charity joins an elite group of organisations and interventions who the EEF consider most effective. The continued success of Tutor Trust would not be possible without The Mohn Westlake Foundation’s critical funding.

"It has yet again been a pleasure to see our children grow in confidence through time spent with their tutors. The academic achievements of our tutored pupils are always impressive, but the immeasurable impact on the level of determination and resilience they show in their attitude to learning just goes to show the power of a successful tutor relationship.”

Rebekah Wilson, Assistant Head at Shakespeare Primary School
