Tutoring Classs
The standard of teaching in many primary & secondary schools is still not up to the required standard. That is why only families which can afford to pay for their children for further studies send their children to private tuition/ tutoring. However, the majority of families can’t afford the tuition fee. Volunteers at SCC can choose to offer their skills and knowledge by teaching tutoring classes to all children to maximize the number of children that will be able to pass their leaving exam and gain a position in a government school / University. Students who attend our tutoring classes are coming from low- income areas. As a Centre, we thrive in providing high- quality tutoring classes that can help students strengthen subject comprehension, boost confidence, and build important learning skills.
