VTO provides free tutor support to children and young people aged 8-18, to help tackle the poverty related attainment gap in Scotland. We work with young people from diverse backgrounds including, but not limited to, those who are care-experienced, those who speak English as an additional language (EAL) or those faced with perceived barriers to learning, e.g. Autism Spectrum Disorder or Attention Deficit Disorder; however, any child who is struggling to engage with education and is falling significantly behind in class, could be helped by our 1:1 tutoring services. Our volunteers focus on developing a person-centred tutoring experience through relationship building to instil confidence and increase motivation and educational attainment. Volunteers from a range of diverse backgrounds and experiences are welcome.
