Job Responsibilities of a Mentor: Guiding, Connecting, and Inspiring
As a mentor within the “Mentoring the Mentor’s” programme at Lexia Education Services, your role is vital in guiding, connecting, and inspiring young people. Here’s an overview of your key responsibilities:
Your primary responsibility is to build positive and trusting relationships with the young learners you support. By fostering a safe and supportive environment, you create the foundation for growth, open communication, and meaningful connections.
As a mentor, you play a crucial role in breaking down barriers that hinder the progress of young learners. By understanding their unique challenges and circumstances, you provide tailored support, guidance, and encouragement, helping them overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.
You serve as a positive role model for children, demonstrating integrity, empathy, and resilience. Through your actions, words, and behaviour, you inspire them to believe in themselves, set high aspirations, and make positive choices.
Your role involves providing guidance and support to young people in various aspects of their lives. Whether it’s academic challenges, personal development, or social interactions, you offer valuable insights, strategies, and resources to help them navigate their journey successfully.
As a mentor, you encourage personal growth and development in children. By setting goals, celebrating achievements, and fostering a growth mindset, you empower them to realise their full potential and become lifelong learners.
You track and monitor the progress of young learners, celebrating their milestones and successes along the way. By recognising their achievements, you boost their confidence, reinforce their efforts, and motivate them to continue striving for excellence.
Your role as a mentor in the “Mentoring the Mentor’s” programme is both rewarding and impactful. Through your dedication, compassion, and commitment, you have the opportunity to guide children, break down barriers, and inspire them to reach new heights of personal and academic success.
Qualifications and Requirements: Making a Difference as a Mentor
At Lexia Education Services, we seek passionate individuals who are ready to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young learners. To ensure the best possible support for these individuals, we have outlined the qualifications and requirements for potential mentors:
Necessary Qualifications, Skills, and Experience
We look for individuals who possess relevant qualifications, such as a degree in education, psychology, or a related field. Additionally, experience in mentoring, teaching, or working with young learners is highly valued. A background in alternative learning provision (ALP) is advantageous but not mandatory.
Empathy, Patience, and the Ability to Connect
Empathy and patience are crucial qualities that mentors must possess. The ability to connect with young learners on a personal level, and understand their unique challenges and experiences, is vital for building trust and establishing meaningful relationships. Mentors must be able to create a supportive and non-judgmental environment where learners feel valued and understood.
Interest or Background in Sports, Physical Exercise, Music, or Dance
Having a background or interest in sports, physical exercise, music, or dance is beneficial as these elements are incorporated into our mentoring process. Mentors who can leverage the therapeutic aspects of these activities find common ground with students, breaking down barriers and fostering engagement and connection.
By meeting these qualifications and embodying the necessary skills and qualities, mentors at Lexia Education Services have the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of young learners. If you are passionate, empathetic, patient, and have a genuine interest in connecting with and empowering young individuals, we encourage you to join our team of dedicated mentors and embark on a fulfilling journey of mentorship and personal growth.
Training and Support: Empowering Mentors for Success
By providing comprehensive training, ongoing professional development, and a supportive community, Lexia Education Services ensures that our mentors are well-equipped, confident, and continually growing in their roles. We understand that mentors are more effective when they have the knowledge, resources, and a network of fellow mentors to rely on. Together, we can create a community that uplifts, inspires, and empowers mentors to make a lasting difference in the lives of young learners.
We recruit and support all kinds of Mentors

Positive reviews from our Mentors

Lexia Education has made me feel really supported in my new role and has given me extra opportunities to learn and grow as a person. Alex and Sophia’s Team Teach training was some of the best training I can say I’ve ever had in my life.
Mentor
Community Review, Tutor
Having retired from full-time teaching after almost 40 years of service, the role of a SEND tutor has enabled me to continue to practise and develop my teaching skills while working to a more flexible timetable. The role can be challenging, but is ultimately rewarding as the child or student begin to reconnect with education and rediscover their love for learning. Every student offers their own unique set of challenges and needs a bespoke curriculum which relies on the flexibility of the tutor to deliver it. Tutors are very well supported and have access to CPD which enable tutors to stay up to date and improve their practise.

Community Review, Tutor
I have been a tutor on behalf of LEXIA Education for nearly 18 months . During this time I have met some amazing young people, have had so much fun, alongside some invaluable learning. Age ranges of students I have tutored have been from 7-18 which stretches my professional development, enhancing what we offer each individual child. LEXIA are supportive at all times and for the first time in years I feel appreciated by an employer. Working for LEXIA has enabled me to bring back the fun into learning. I am the happiest I have been in education for a long time.
