“The pupils that joined Larkrise during the academic year came to school with no English. Jacari tutoring has definitely improved their language skills as well as boosted their confidence and self-esteem.”
EAL Lead, Larkrise Primary
“Our pupils love having a Jacari tutor. Their confidence grows as well as friendships which is a pleasure to watch...they have flexibility to explore topics that they can't with a school teacher, which helps their learning of English.
EAL Coordinator, Fairfield High
“Jacari lessons helped significantly in my son's improvement. He started this year with almost no English knowledge, and he is almost fluent in everyday speech at the end of the year.”
Parent of Jacari pupil
Jacari is committed to regularly seeking feedback from all our stakeholders and monitoring the impact of our work. We survey all of our pupils, their parents/carers, our volunteer tutors and school contacts at the end of the academic year to gather feedback.
We also ask school contacts to assess each pupil’s English language skills at the start and end of the year using nationally recognised EAL Bands, which we can use to measure progress.
In addition, we gather qualitative feedback throughout the year by attending tutoring sessions in schools; asking volunteers to give us feedback; having regular catch-ups with our school contacts; and speaking to parents/carers.
