Our Tutors Testimonials
“By far the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done; being a tutor at the Chandran Foundation has allowed me to develop my professional skills and contribute to something great. There is no better way to spend one hour a week than to teach children who are eager to learn, and willing to share their ideas and dreams with you.”
Francis
English Graduate, University of Oxford
“I believe that everyone, no matter their background or identity, is equally and vitally valuable. As I tutor, my purpose is to assist children so that they can realise their capabilities and flourish. With a lot of help, I have managed to achieve my educational dream––becoming a doctoral student––and wish to carry that message of hope to others.”
Nadira
Doctoral Student, Royal Holloway
"I'm enthusiastic about supporting children in both academic and other aspects of their lives, so they feel fully equipped to achieve their goals and become confident learners. The pandemic has made education very inconsistent, and I hope that by providing these tutoring sessions, the children will feel comfortable to seek extra help and encouragement, as well as to have some fun. I'm very invested in the work ethic of the charity, and I'm excited to see the children grow and develop!"
Parisa
Medical Student, King's College London
"It's been a privilege to teach a group of students who have the potential to do great things in life, as well as becoming a part of their journey. I believe a student’s background should not be a hindrance to their progress, and an equal playing field within education should be incorporated as much as possible. I enjoy teaching; it's an exciting time in the week and the students are always motivated to learn more."
