Introduction
When children from overseas come to England to study they are at a distinct disadvantage to those families who are resident here. Their Parents are unlikely to have the same knowledge of the UK Education system or be able to offer the same parental care. We take over this role and provide:
- A Mentor to guide them – ‘a trusted guide or advisor’
- A Guardian to take over the responsibilities of their parents.
A service of the highest quality.
We are highly discerning, working as we do with a small number of international families and only drawing on the services of vetted, experienced guardians and mentors and top quality ‘Homestay’ families. Our network of professionals is exceptional; all of whom are at the very top of their fields.
Question: Why does your child need a Mentor or Guardian?
Answer: The reasons for this are developmental as well as practical. Parents should involve themselves very closely with all the decision-making and issues that affect the success and wellbeing of their child. This is not always practical for overseas families.

“Mentoring is a relationship and a set of processes where one person offers help, guidance, advice and support to facilitate another person’s development”.
