A First for Edinburgh City and for Step Ahead

STEP AHEAD has been chosen to provide tutors for a new and exciting educational initiative.

Within the The City of Edinburgh Council provision is Cameron House Community Centre, a relatively new building which is situated in Prestonfield on the south side of the city.

The centre has a huge and varied programme providing a wide range of activities for both adults and young people. The lively and forward-thinking Management Committee is always looking to be innovative and, in a completely unique project is including specialist tuition prior to this year’s academic examinations – in several school subjects - for some of its members – from both state and independent school.

STEP AHEAD has been selected to put the programme in place, and carry out the group tutoring, whilst taking into account the individual needs of each participant. Several experienced tutors are preparing and are excited about participating in something which may well offer a template for others in the future.

As Deirdre McCann (Prestonfield’s Community Learning and Development Worker) who has known, for many years, most of the participating youngsters commented, “We believe what we are providing is a first and we are thrilled to be able to offer this opportunity to very motivated and hard-working youngsters who will get the benefit of the expertise and professionalism of STEP AHEAD tutors.”
