Saturday Reading Mastery Classes for Children

Do you have Saturday morning availability starting from 10.00am - to help children Master Literacy? 

We currently have a waiting list of children who would like to join our Reading and Writing Improvement (Literacy Mastery) supplementary classes , so we need more volunteers. Might you like to help? 

Teaching Experience is not necessary - Tailored training and ongoing support for volunteer classroom teachers and assistants is provided.  We use proven effective whole-class teaching methods. If you can commit around two hours on Saturdays during term-time, you can start as a classroom assistant or by observing a few sessions. 

Volunteering with us is a wonderful way to gain experience working with and helping children. Our volunteers typically say they find it extremely rewarding.

General Volunteering Opportunities

We are continually researching, evolving and developing: tailored tuition, classes, workshops, mentoring, training, and other services that effectively support disadvantaged education needy children and their families. 

We are expanding our work in and around disadvantaged parts of London - especially Westminster (including the Queen's Park Ward) and The Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea (WCC and RBKC). 

We run classes & projects (in community centres, schools and other suitable spaces) for children aged 5 to 11 during school term time. This year we also ran a small Reading and Writing Mastery project during the Summer Holiday break. From January 2026 we plan to run a new script-reading and drama workshop project. 

We're always on the look out for volunteers, consultants, tutors, and new members to help us and help extend our work for the most education-needy. 

As well as teaching children the fundamentals of mastering literacy, we need dedicated, passionate volunteers to help with Fundraising, Marketing, Surveys, Research, I.T. support, Administration, Social-media PR, etc.. If any of these opportunities interest you, please click the blue Volunteering Form button below to get in touch with us.
