To be a volunteer tutor for CoachBright was an opportunity for me to provide guidance and support to a pupil. Seeing my impact on the coachee every week gave me great satisfaction knowing I was having a significant impact on their progress. Working alongside dedicated and committed staff at CoachBright and alongside fellow university students provided me with a platform to build my own skills and showed me the drive and determination CoachBright have towards making university education accessible to everyone. It was an unforgettable experience.

Helping students was thoroughly rewarding, but the training sessions were the best part. Information misconceived as common sense actually became a great learning experience for me.

The weekly hour-long sessions are easy to schedule into even a busy university timetable and this small contribution makes such a noticeable difference to a pupil’s confidence and academic performance. I think the combination of tutoring, mentoring and coaching is so effective and I really liked seeing the progress that my coachee made from session to session, in particular the confidence she gained.
