The company, OJ Francis Tutorial Services is created with the purpose of providing additional support in curriculum subjects outside school time to targeted individuals and groups. Working under the slogan ‘They too need help’ the service will try to make available to those learners’ who are excluded from the tutoring industry because they cannot afford it. We believe by teaming up learners the costs can be distributed among many. We also hope to build on the power of peer influence and initiative to attract other learners.
