The VNN Bundesverband Nachhilfe- und Nachmittagsschulen eV is the only association for institutional tutoring in Germany. He advocates more transparency and reliable quality in tutoring. He also represents the interests of the industry vis-à-vis politics and the public.
Emergence
In 1998 the “Association of Nachhilfeschulen e. V. “founded. It was the first association in the tutoring industry. In 2003 it was renamed the Federal Association of Tutoring and Afternoon Schools. In 2014, the VNN merged with the Federal Association of Owner-Led Nachhilfeschulen (BiN). In 2016 the quality association INA tutoring schools also joined. Since then, all interest groups in the tutoring industry have been united under the umbrella of the VNN, which is the only association in the industry.

aims
One of the main goals is to ensure the quality of institutional tutoring. This is why the VNN has set high quality standards. All members undertake to adhere to the ten-point catalog to ensure quality in tutoring and the VNN's code of honor.
In order to enable verifiable and transparent quality, the VNN advises its members on the introduction of various quality management systems.
Another important focus of the work of the VNN is to contribute to the transparency of the industry. The aim is to make the offers of institutional tutoring for parents and students more transparent and comparable, to give them security and to offer help in deciding on the right tutoring.

The VNN supports its members by helping them to implement the high quality and transparency requirements of their own work. This takes place in the form of working groups, through individual advice to the members, through the exchange of experiences among the members and through internal training. By doing political lobbying and advocating a trustful dialogue between tutoring, schools, politics and business, he increases the acceptance of tutoring and improves the conditions of the local tutoring schools.

The VNN has summarized its positions on these issues in its key issues paper.
