Learning Mentor

A learning mentor works in schools or colleges to help students overcome barriers to learning, whether these are social, emotional, or academic. Their primary role is to provide one-to-one support and guidance to pupils who may be struggling with schoolwork, attendance, or personal issues. Learning mentors collaborate closely with teachers, parents, and external agencies to develop strategies that enable students to succeed. They may work with children of all ages, but are especially common in primary and secondary schools. The job requires excellent communication and interpersonal skills, patience, and a genuine desire to help young people achieve their potential.
