Helping your child thrive
Every child learns differently.
Some need help understanding difficult topics. Others need someone who believes in them, encourages them and helps them rediscover their confidence.
At Peer Genius, we combine peer tutoring with peer mentoring, matching children and young people with carefully selected GCSE and A Level students who provide academic support, encouragement and positive role models.
Supporting learners from primary school through to A Level, we help young people build confidence, develop effective study habits and achieve their full potential.
Why choose Peer Genius?
Our tutors and mentors have recently experienced the same educational journey as the students they support. They understand the pressures of school because they’ve lived them.
Many have also overcome challenges in their own learning journeys, allowing them to share not only academic knowledge but also empathy, encouragement and practical strategies that can help younger learners facing similar obstacles.
For many students, working with someone closer to their own age feels less intimidating. They often feel more comfortable asking questions, admitting when they’re stuck and celebrating their progress.
Because every session combines academic tutoring with peer mentoring, students gain more than subject knowledge—they develop confidence, resilience and a more positive attitude towards learning.
