Mentoring for students

Our mentors support students with 1:1 tuition and mentorship at home and online, helping them find success with today’s problems and tomorrow’s challenges.

We mentor young people to academic success.

We believe every young person should have a mentor: an inspiring person invested in their future. Oppidan students become more confident, academically successful and engaged in school life. Through carefully designed educational programmes at every age phase, we ensure improved, long-term student outcomes.

Academic mentoring

Through one-to-one mentoring and tuition, Oppidan students achieve sustainable success. They are prepared for tests and exams, but equally skilled for the wider challenges of moving school and applying for university.

We support with:
