At TUTO Lernhilfe (Tutoring), children from 6 to 14 years old receive task supervision and competent learning assistance. At TUTO Sprachschatz (Vocabulary), kindergarten kids can playfully learn German.
By creating a positive and encouraging atomsphere, the knowledge is broadened and the development of the children is positively supported. While learning together, the children experience that they are respected and fully appreciated. At TUTO, respectful and appreciating interactions are strongly valued. An important factor for the joint effort is a good cooperation with parents and teachers of the participating children.
