Our Young People’s Service provides qualified Tutor-Mentors for children and young people who have disengaged, or are at risk of disengaging from mainstream education and training.
Our Tutor-Mentors work one-to-one with young people in community venues, teaching English and maths and providing mentoring support to help them address the barriers that prevent them engaging fully in learning. These can include social, emotional or mental health difficulties or can be circumstantial, such as being looked after or involved in the criminal justice system.
The Tutor-Mentor is a positive role model who can be there for a young person; to listen to them, teach them, help them build their confidence and self-esteem and support them to overcome challenges that they face.
