Working as a Brilliant Club tutor offers PhD researchers and graduates a meaningful, paid, community engagement opportunity.
Applications for Scholars Programme and Join the Dots placements in the 2024/25 academic year are now open.
As a tutor you will:
Anyone currently studying toward a PhD or Professional Doctorate and anyone who already has a Doctorate. You do not need to currently be working/studying at a university to become a Brilliant Club tutor.
Once you are trained and registered as a Scholars Programme tutor, we will ask for your availability in advance of each school term. This means you can fit work with us around your other commitments.
For each term that you are available, The Scholars Programme Team will aim to place you to deliver a placement in school; this will consist of delivering 2 hours of teaching per week, teaching 7 school students at a time.
