Veränderung der schulischen Leistungen und Perspektiven
Schools involved in the qualitative interviews were positive about the tuition, keen to work with the Tutor Trust again, and largely confident that the tuition was beneficial for their pupils. Teachers believed that there was a need for more affordable high-quality tuition, and that the Tutor Trust helped meet this need.

Evaluierung der Aktivität
The evaluation used a quasi-experimental design, which aimed to enable a comparison to be made between participating pupils and other pupils who were similar in terms of their demographic and socio-economic characteristics. However, it was not possible to control for a number of potentially influential variables, which the evaluators had planned to do. Qualitative fieldwork took place in eight schools and was based on interviews with senior leaders, classroom teachers, tutors and pupils.
