Graduation with South Liverpool Homes

This week we got to celebrate a magical milestone for both our pupils and Tutors United itself at an amazing Graduation event. Made possible by an incredible partnership between South Liverpool Homes, Merchant Taylors’​ Company, and TU, this academic year saw us complete our first in-person programme in the city of Liverpool.

Our Speke-based hub saw 11 primary school pupils tutored, 4 university students hired, trained, and paid as tutors, and over 40 hours of tutoring delivered.

Celebrating our pupils’ achievements has always been a vital part of what we do, and the reason why couldn’t be summed up better than by one of the parents at the event: “My favourite part was when the tutor spoke about my daughter and highlighted her achievements. It was a proud moment to hear such kind and thoughtful words, and even more special when she received her prize. It really showed how much she’s grown.”

A huge thank you to the teams at South Liverpool Homes and Merchant Taylors’ Company for forming such a supportive partnership, to our committed Liverpool-based tutors, and to our guests at the graduation: Mark Chambers and Thomas Hayes from South Liverpool Homes, Liz Van De Waal of the Liverpool Learning Partnership, Alison Houghton-Corfield from the Anthony Walker Foundation, and Madeline Mills of Mott MacDonald.
