sessions have enabled Sela to catch up with the rest of his class early on in the academic year and he will no longer have a disadvantage moving forward.
The second pupil of note is Susanna, she is a Grade 5 pupil who initially lacked confidence in
English reading and as a result she was extremely shy in class. During one-on-one sessions the volunteer working with Susanna began with intensive reading practice and then moved onto creative writing. As a result of the one-on-one sessions Susanna is now confident reading aloud to volunteers and in front of the class which means she has become more interactive during lessons.
The improvement observed across the programme as a whole, has demonstrated that the one-onone programme has been a valuable addition to Ratu Meli Schools education program. Overall the feedback from teachers and volunteers suggests that all pupils on the programme have unquestionably benefitted from one-on-one tuition. Moving forward we hope to build on this early success, continuing to expand and develop the programme with the support of the teachers and volunteers at RMMS. I have two pupils receiving one-on-one help in my class, Sela and Temo, and it has really helped them to improve their writing and blending. Next term I hope to be able to place more pupils on the one-on-one programme, its a big help for me when Im teaching class 1 to read in English. Miss Laisani, Class 1 teacher RMMS
