Free Tutoring Through Education and Participation (BuT)

Learn how your child can receive free and qualified learning support through the Education Package in Hannover. 1A Tutoring Hannover is your recognized partner!

The Education and Participation Package (BuT) is a federal government initiative that supports children and young people from low-income families. Its goal is to provide them with better opportunities for education and social participation. A key component is learning support—qualified tutoring.

If your child is struggling in school, at risk of not being promoted, or unable to achieve an important school qualification without additional support, you may be eligible to have tutoring costs reimbursed through the BuT package.

A key part of the application is confirmation from the school that additional learning support is needed. You will need the appropriate forms, which you can download here:

Generally, children and young people whose families receive one of the following benefits are eligible:

Important: The school must confirm the need for learning support, and there must be no comparable free school programs (e.g., support courses) available that could address the issue.

Answer a few quick questions and find out in less than a minute whether your child is likely eligible for free tutoring through the BuT package. This check is an initial assessment and does not replace the official review by the authorities.

Do you or someone in your household receive any of the following benefits?

Citizen's allowance (formerly unemployment benefit II/Hartz IV) or social benefit
Social assistance
Child supplement
Housing benefit
Benefits under the Asylum Seekers Benefits Act

Do you already have a valid BuT certificate?

This is issued by the job center or the Hannover Region and confirms your eligibility.

Does your child have a grade of 4 or lower in any subject?

This is an indicator of learning needs. The school must confirm the need for learning support.
