The Power of Mentoring
What is Mentoring?
Mentoring at Lexia Education Services is about making a meaningful connection with young people, and guiding them towards their full potential. Our mentors play a crucial role in providing support, encouragement, and practical advice to help shape the future of our community.
Prerequisites for Mentoring
We seek passionate individuals ready to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young people. To ensure the best possible support for these individuals, we have outlined the qualifications and requirements for potential mentors.
We will support you every step of the way!
Necessary Qualifications, Skills, and Experience
We need individuals with experience supporting or working with children and young people. Experienced mentoring, teaching or working with disadvantaged young people is highly valued.
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.
We encourage you to join our team of dedicated mentors and embark on a fulfilling journey of mentorship and personal growth.
Job Responsibilities of a Mentor
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.
