Learning Mentors & Online Outreach Support
Learning Mentors
All learners are supported by Learning Mentors who work with our learners to help them address barriers (and potential barriers) to learning through supportive 1-1 relationships.
They help learner develop coping strategies, enhance their motivation, raise their aspirations and encourage them to re-engage in learning. Learning Mentors have to take into account the range of complex issues that usually lay behind problems with learning and achievement (e.g. lack of confidence/low self-esteem, low aspirations, mental health issues, bereavement, peer pressure, bullying, family issues/concerns etc). They offer a sympathetic ear to our Learners who have a range of behavioural, emotional and learning difficulties.
The Learning Mentors liaise with families/carers and work closely with school staff as well as outreach professionals.
