How it works

Step 1

We’ll suggest a mentor pairing based on relevant experiences, backgrounds and matching interests. Our mentors span a huge range of backgrounds including former and current teachers, educational psychologists and freelance creatives.

Step 2

Start residential

Mentors provide up to five hours of concentrated support per day, from subject-specific tuition to revision technique and educational activities.

Step 3

Parent check in

Regular check-ins between office team and parent to ensure the residential is progressing well and remains adaptable to expectations.

Case study

Elizabeth and X

Mentoring on the high seas

A family was embarking on a journey around the world and wanted a mentor to join them to support their 10-year-old daughter. Enough structure to the day to keep up with the schoolwork given, but enough flexibility to melt into the eco-system of a day on a boat. Somebody the family would get on with, who’d muck in and balance the role between family and support.

Step forward Elizabeth: a recent classics graduate at Cambridge, learning assistant teacher at Thomas’s Clapham and Masters’ student in Critical Approaches to Children’s Literature. A value-add to the dream holiday, and an assurance that when she went back to school, she was in a better position than when she’d left.
