When/Where?
Tutors support the children they are matched with for an hour a week. This mostly happens in their homes, but some takes place at their schools. Tutors now have an option of doing the session virtually.
Who is it for?
Children aged 7 – 16 who speak English as an additional language and are at risk of not achieving their fill potential. This includes vulnerable migrants, asylum seekers and refugees. They have partnerships with 12 schools, and only accept referral from these schools.
Volunteers can be anyone over 18 who is based in Oxford and happy to give an hour a week in term time to support a young person.
