Academic Mentoring
Who is Academic Mentoring for
Academic Mentoring supports secondary school students who find it challenging to manage and organise their workload, prepare effectively for exams or cope with test anxiety. Academic Mentoring develops self-starting, independent and organised learners who can manage their workload effectively in school, university and beyond.
Our Ivy-League-educated mentors, supported by a dedicated Academic Team, deliver personalised coaching tailored to each student’s needs. Through one-to-one sessions, regular check-ins and an individual Canvas course, our students stay accountable and focused on their goals for improved academic results.
What motivated us
With nearly twenty years of test preparation and university advising since 2005, we understand the challenges students face in motivating and organising themselves to study with their increasing workloads. We also recognize the difficulty of stopping work when it becomes unproductive. That's why we created a service to support students in starting and maintaining their study process.
Our approach to Academic Mentoring
Our Academic Mentoring starts with an intake consultation with our Academic Director Charlotte McKechnie, who sets goals for the student based on their desired improvement.
The student is then matched with a mentor who shares their academic interests. Initially, longer and more frequent sessions are held to establish new working methods.
As the student becomes more independent, mentor and student meet once a week with check-ins in between for ongoing support.
