Our mentoring services go beyond just academics. Our tutors act as mentors, providing guidance and support that extends far beyond the classroom. They build trusting relationships with students, fostering a safe space to discuss challenges, dreams, and personal development goals.


This mentorship empowers students to develop self-confidence, resilience, and strong work ethic – qualities that benefit them not just in their studies but throughout their lives. This service is part of all tutorship at Aspire2Shine, for a comprehensive learning experience, or it can be provided independently for those seeking focused mentorship.

Before I started my tutor sessions with Alison I felt very scared and nervous about doing my gcses thinking I was going to fail. But as time went on, because of these sessions with Aliosn, I felt more and more confident each time.

My daughter really needed a tutor and when we found Alison, we were over the moon. My daughter grew in confidence and was happy to attend every session knowing she was learning and understanding. It was a huge relief for me, as her mum, seeing the change in her in the lead up to her exams.

Seeing Alison made a fundemental difference to the mental health and confidence of my daughter, who is now 16. Over time she built up rapport, rust and an open environment of non judgement through listening, humour and her own experience of being a parent to teenage girls and the things they care about.
