School (or college) can take up the majority of our time in adolescence. Studying, revising, exams; if these feel like a never ending battle you are not alone. A lot of people struggle with academic study, it can be overwhelming and lead to anxiety and a feeling of failure. Whether you have a learning difficulty (known or undiagnosed), or you missed school for prolonged periods due to illness, family situation or other causes or you just haven’t ‘got it’, a little extra help can make a huge difference to your ability to catch up or keep up with your class.

Noa offers one-to-one tutoring in the subjects you need. In some cases, the tutoring programme can mean the difference between leaving school empty handed with feelings of ‘failure’ and moving onto higher education or vocational training and, ultimately, financial independence and wider life choices.

Some of the tutoring is done within Noa through mentors or volunteers. We are also grateful to the Gateways programmes, whose collaboration in many cases, makes access to tutoring possible.
