Each learner typically receives 10–15 hours of tuition per week, and tutors often support multiple learners, building timetables of 10–30 hours per week depending on availability and referrals.
Sessions usually take place between 9:00am and 4:00pm in learners’ homes, community venues or other agreed educational settings across Poole.
