Educational Mentoring
Our mentors provide one-to-one educational guidance and support to refugee and migrant pupils.
Mentors help mentees with their schoolwork and related skills. Many also offer advice and practical help around careers and accessing further and higher education.
Mentoring has a wealth of positive impacts on young people’s lives, including improved English proficiency and academic performance as well as heightened confidence, wellbeing and ambitions for the future.
This project is made possible by funding from the Cherry Family Foundation, South Kilburn Community Chest and Neighbourhood Action Network
Sajeda's story: "She's helped me so much."
School in London was very hard at the beginning. I didn't speak much English and I was bullied and laughed at by the other children. When I was in year 10, Salusbury World found me a mentor. She's so kind and she still comes every week to help me with my homework. She works through problems with me and doesn’t just give me the answer. She's helped me so much - I used to be afraid of speaking up in class but she encouraged me to ask and answer questions. She gives me confidence and now I'm in Year 11, I'm in higher sets. My mentor says, "everything is going to be fine".
In the holidays, I have volunteered with the little children and also been kayaking and horse-riding. It was so fun! Salusbury World helped me to make new friends. If I hadn’t come, I would have had to stay at home, and it would be so boring.
