Story

Jacari is an award-winning charity which aims to improve the confidence and language skills of refugee, asylum-seeking and migrant children in Oxford and Bristol who have English as an additional language (EAL). Jacari runs a free tuition scheme supported by volunteer tutors who provide fun, informal weekly English lessons to their pupils. The Covid-19 pandemic has severely affected children with EAL, leaving them socially isolated, with very limited opportunities to practise their English. Many were unable to access online lessons during lockdowns due to the language barrier and lack of technology at home and are now months behind their peers. Never has there been a greater need for extra tuition. As a result of the pandemic, Jacari are experiencing an increase in demand for their tuition programme and need your help now, more than ever to fund this vital support.

RCN 1177211
Jacari provides a range of bespoke English language learning opportunities for young people, delivered by our volunteers. We match volunteers to a pupil who has English as an additional language (EAL) who they support weekly during term-time, helping them improve their English language skills and increasing their confidence. Our volunteers are mostly university and sixth-form students and provide their pupil with a mentor who makes education fun, and inspires a love of learning in their tutees. We also organise termly trips and fun activities so the young people we support can practise their English in a relaxed environment and visit local attractions.
