Education Beyond Borders

Meet Our Tutors

Our tutors are predominantly part of the Afghan diaspora who have experience of education within Afghanistan. Most of them were evacuated out on Western resettlement schemes, following their involvement in education in Afghanistan, and are now safe in the West. We keep their identities private for security reasons. We do have a few British teachers who teach more advanced groups. We are always looking for new tutors so if you would like to get involved please do contact us. We particularly would like to expand our maths and science curriculums and would welcome tutors in those subjects who speak Dari or Pashto. We pay all our tutors competitive rates and all tutors have an enhanced DBS and safeguarding training.
