  • Create a Future

    Create a Future exists to help people to realise their potential. We provide 1:1 and small group tuition for all ages, for all subjects and for all levels of learners. Generally, we support learners to achieve qualifications in maths (numeracy) and English (literacy) or to help individuals brush up on their basic skills. Sessions take place at home, in community settings, church halls, schools and we have been known to deliver sessions in MacDonalds and the local pub!. We can find tutors for specific subjects – Law, Latin, French, Spanish, Geography, History, Accounting, Music (Piano) and Knitting are some of the most recent subject areas requested. For community groups and programmes we can also offer Cooking without Numbers (Look and Cook), Financial Literacy (Know Your Numbers), Handwriting for Adults, Improve Your Reading (Reading Programme for Teens and Adults) and Brush Up Your Skills in Numeracy and Literacy. We support Looked After Children, Young Carers and provide Alternative Programmes for young people who are not at school – again in our core areas of English and Maths. Finally, we are the Regional Office for CREST Awards – the national programme that recognises project work – so if you and your clients are working on a project there may be ways that we can help you recognise progress. We are always delighted to talk about how we can work in partnership with other providers and will work with you to find ways to support joint programmes.
