Gratwein-Straßengel: From now on there is tutoring for students who have problems with German and Co.
With the extension of the lockdown, homeschooling students now have to spread their exercise sheets on the tables in their kitchens and living rooms for even longer. Incomprehension, anger, but above all exhaustion spreads among the parents that they have to get work and lessons under one roof – but how are the children doing with that? In addition to a lack of structures and social contacts, many suffer from the learning support that can help if there are already deficits in certain school subjects. To counteract this, the market town of Gratwein-Straßengel has launched tutoring sessions in the “Lerncafé”.

And this is how it works

The cooperation is going very well. The team is ready to help out.”
