The Access Project began in 2008 when Alex Kelly, a teacher in one North London school, convinced some of his friends to provide his bright and ambitious students with the academic support they couldn’t get at home. This one-to-one tuition proved even more successful than Alex had hoped and so he set up The Access Project to ensure more young people could benefit from this support.
Since then we have grown quickly and are now working in 28 schools, with over 1,000 tutors supporting 1,250 students across London, Birmingham and the Black Country and the East Midlands towns of Ashfield, Mansfield and Shirebrook.
