At Jigsaw, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and succeed. Our Tutoring and Mentoring Support Service provides personalised, strengths-based support that helps children, young people and adults overcome barriers, build confidence and achieve their individual goals.
Whether someone needs extra support with education, help developing life skills or guidance to take the next step into employment or training, we're here to walk alongside them every step of the way.
Our personalised support can include:
Personalised 1-to-1 tutoring and mentoring tailored to individual needs and goals
Small group sessions that encourage learning, confidence and peer support
Outreach support delivered within schools, homes and community settings where appropriate
Emotional wellbeing and resilience-building alongside educational and emotional support
Goal-setting, motivation and practical guidance to help people reach their potential
Development of practical and life skills
Support to re-engage with learning and education
Help to build confidence, resilience and independence
Our approach recognises that needs and emotional wellbeing are often closely connected. We take time to understand each person's circumstances and provide support that works for them.
Our Tutoring and Mentoring service supports:
Children and young people, including those with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), additional needs, or who may be disengaged from education
Young people preparing for further education, employment or training
Adults looking to develop new skills, improve confidence, return to learning or access employment opportunities
Families who need additional support to help children and young people thrive
People who would benefit from additional mentoring and emotional support
We recognise that every person's circumstances are different. Our support is designed around their individual needs, strengths and goals.
No two people are the same, which is why every support plan is tailored to the individual.
We take time to understand each person's strengths, interests, experiences and aspirations. We create personalised support that builds confidence as well as skills.
Our mentoring is built on trusted relationships, encouragement and consistency, creating an environment where people feel safe, valued, motivated and empowered to achieve their goals.
Our aim is not simply to help people with their education. We also help them develop confidence, resilience and the skills they need to move forward.
We recognise that effective support often involves working alongside the people and professionals around a person.
Where appropriate, we can work with families, schools and other professionals to understand individual needs, share information and help create a consistent approach to support.
By working together, we can help reduce barriers to learning and support people to make positive progress.
Education is about more than completing work or achieving qualifications. It can also help people develop confidence, independence and a sense of what they can achieve.
Our tutoring and mentoring support helps people take positive steps towards their individual goals and future opportunities.
Whether the next step is further education, training, employment, volunteering or another pathway, we work alongside each person to help them recognise their strengths and develop the confidence to move forward.
At Jigsaw, we believe education is about more than qualifications. It's about building resilience, independence and self-belief.
Whether you're looking for extra support with learning, guidance for the future, or simply someone who believes in your potential, we're here to help you take the next step with confidence.
