Our Mission
We don’t just help our students get better grades, we accompany them sustainably on their learning journey. Rather than focusing only on weaknesses, we build their self-confidence and rekindle their joy in learning - personally, humanely, and on equal footing. It’s particularly important to us that children from households receiving Bürgergeld, Wohngeld, or Kinderzuschlag have the same educational opportunities. That’s why we offer free tutoring via BuT in Bielefeld.
1. Making education accessible
We are driven by a passion to promote educational equality and break down financial, linguistic, and bureaucratic barriers.
That is why we actively support schools as part of the Start‒Up Opportunities Programme, with the aim of specifically breaking down barriers to education and enabling genuine equality of opportunity.
2. Acting in the child´s best interest
Everything we do is guided by what is best for the student. Be it help with bad grades, tailored support with homework, or individual tutoring in various subjects. We give everything we can to enable academic and personal success. We guide each child with patience, heart, and responsibility.
3. Solutions, not problems
We don’t respond with stress, but with clear, practical support - whether for exam prep or homework help. Our goal: less stress, more structure, and genuine learning progress for each child.
4. Multilingual and approachable
We don’t just speak the language of the families, we understand their cultural and social realities. Through closeness and empathy, we create an atmosphere where each student feels safe and valued.
5. Reliability and flexibility
We stand by our promises and adapt flexibly to the needs of each child and family, to foster sustainable growth.
