Our Impact

Max had recently been placed in foster care. His self-esteem had been badly damaged and learning was extremely difficult for him, particularly at a time when he was adjusting to so much upset and change. He was identified as a child who would benefit from some 1:1 tuition with the Quest for Learning ‘Reading Quest’ programme. Between September and December Max settled into the routine of working with his tutor and began to thrive. In fact, he made two years’ worth of progress in his reading in those few months! In a recent session he proudly brought along his new class reading book and explained to his Quest for Learning tutor that he had been moved up to ‘green’ – he’d made it! Green is the appropriate reading level for his age. Four months previously he’d been unable to read sentences. At that moment, Max felt on top of the world!
