Extra classes

Extra classes are intended for META’s clients – students who are unable to fully engage in classes at school due to the language barrier and who use our counseling services in education.

Extra classes are provided by volunteers. The aim is to increase success in the Czech language and other school subjects.

The classes usually take place at META’s premises, at municipal libraries, or online, by individual agreement.

Volunteers can help clients prepare for exams, admission procedure, or the maturita exam.
