Toranj Tuition (TT) was established in Kingston upon Hull as a not-for-profit community organisation designed to stimulate so ... cial mobility and facilitate equal opportunities by improving education for children and adults. TT's main mission is to provide free educational activities which will help to address the educational failures fundamentally linked with poverty. We seek to alleviate the root causes and underlying factors of educational failure, specifically in young people from low income families, something that does not traditionally fall within the remit of any statutory bodies. TT felt compelled to begin this project because low educational achievement of local children has long been an unresolved issue in Hull, despite a substantial governmental effort and an influx in allocated resources targeted at alleviating the problem. Through our children schemes (3-18 years) TT offers services including: private tuition, school mentoring packages and homework clubs. Through close relationships with local ethnic communities, TT also provides tuition for adult learners. Adult education is a vital and growing part of the services that TT offers. TT has run ESOL schemes in Hull for several years, working with migrants, refugees and asylum seekers who have recently arrived in Hull, as well as long-term residents. As a local level community organisation, TT's adult education courses are run with the aim of facilitating the smooth integration of newcomers and long-term residents, providing advice and guidance, improving their educational skills, helping them find suitable employability, and bringing them together with other people in the local community. read more
