Tutition Locations Tuition currently takes place in 4 main centres; Goldsmith Hall, St. Andrews Resource Centre, PARC (Pearse Area Recreation Centre) and Ringsend Technical Institute. The location of each of the centres is highlighted on the map below. Scroll down or use the links at the top for more information regarding each centre.
Goldsmith Hall Goldsmith Hall is a Trinity College building. It houses the VTP office, aswell as hosting regular tuition as well as the Refugee and Special needs programs from monday through wednesday. On thursday it hosts the Parallel Program for 2 hours.
PARC stands for Pearse Area Recreation Centre, and is a classroom, playground and sports facility five minutes away from Trinity at Pearse House off Sandwith St. In PARC we offer primary school tuition for two hours a week, between half two and half four on a Wednesday. Because of this earlier time, we can cater for younger children (aged five upwards) at PARC. The daytime commitment can be difficult for undergraduates due to timetable changes: we would therefore encourage postgraduates, staff and evening students to apply to tutor here.
St. Andrews Resource Centre is a facility located five to ten minutes down Pearse St from Trinity, and is heavily involved in the organisation and running of the program. Tuition wise St. Andrews hosts primary school children with both normal and special educative needs. The VTP clubs are held here also.
Ringsend Technical Institute is made available for the programme every Tuesday evening. Tuition for fifth and sixth class students from Ringsend schools takes place here. However as the centre is 15-20 minutes walk from college we are often short of tutors for this centre. Hfsowever we hope to encourage more volunteers for this centre, especially from tutors who live nearer the area. |
