Hard to pay – after Corona: long waiting lists for tutoring

Date:

Tutoring is expensive, but more and more children need it after months of distance learning. Rising prices mean fewer people can afford it.

Two years of pandemic and the wave of inflation have left their mark. Many students have fallen behind due to months of distance learning. And here too the price hammer has struck. On average, Viennese spend more than 680 euros per year on tutoring. But fewer and fewer people can afford it.

200 students waiting to be seated
So does the Samaritan Association, which operates three LernLEOs – free tutoring for socially disadvantaged children and young people. “Demand has tripled in recent months. The waiting list for a place in LernLEO is so long that we would need five more locations to support and promote it,” says managing director Oliver Löhlein. 200 students are currently hoping for a free place .

“Many children and young people still struggle with things that were not well learned or understood in distance learning due to a lack of support and lack of technical equipment in the families,” said Pia Camus, head of the LernLEOs.

Free tutoring
In a few days the holidays in the east of Austria will start. After that at the latest, it is time for many students to catch up on what they have learned. For example, free tutoring is available in Vienna’s adult education centers. Registrations for the summer semester are already possible (www.vhs.at). The Caritas leather café and the Red Cross leather clubs are also free.
