Learning with someone who gets it.

Peer Genius connects young people with trained peer tutors and mentors who are close enough in age to relate, inspire confidence and make learning feel achievable.

Why Peer Genius?

Sometimes the biggest barrier to learning isn’t ability – it’s connection.

Our trained peer tutors combine academic support with mentoring from someone who still remembers the pressures of school. Whether a young person needs help preparing for exams, catching up after absence or simply believing in themselves again, we create positive relationships that make learning easier.

Why Peer tutoring works

Young people often learn best from someone they can relate to.

Peer tutors remember what the 11+, GCSEs, A Levels and school life actually feel like. They understand the pressures, speak the same language and provide encouragement alongside academic support.

That combination helps students ask more questions, become more engaged and enjoy learning again.

When One Teaches, Two Learn

What Our Community Says

Josiah helped my son with his maths leading up to his GCSEs. As he is only a year or so older than him he was more relatable. He explained things well and my son felt more confident going into his exams.

I’ve really enjoyed my experience as a maths tutor: I felt as if being a student myself working with another student helped me to understand the needs of my tutee, and both of us were able to relate and engage with one another effectively. It was great for me too in developing my communication skills, as well as gaining confidence. I would strongly recommend Peer Genius, as I've found it provides a unique and rewarding experience to both tutee and tutor.

An amazing organisation that carefully matches their peer tutors to the children they work with. Peer tutors really get the children and what it is like to be in their shoes, and as a result children are more engaged and better able to learn. It's great to see Peer Genius growing, to support more young people.
