Freemind Mentors - Mentee Mentoring Programme

Freemind Mentors offers one-to-one online mentoring for young people who want support with school, wellbeing, confidence, study skills, or decisions about university and careers. Mentors are matched to mentees based on interests and needs; the programme helps with topics such as subject choices, exam revision, applications and interviews, work experience preparation, digital skills, time management, and general wellbeing.

Sessions are delivered online and typically last 45-60 minutes. The organisation recommends starting with a block of six sessions to build rapport and see progress, but mentoring can continue or be paused as needed.

The first session is an opportunity to check fit, set goals, and plan next steps; mentors and Freemind check in periodically and will rematch if needed to ensure a good fit. To get started, prospective mentees (and their parent/carer) are asked to contact Freemind via the Contact Us form.

Phone and email contact details are also provided for further queries. The service is aimed at school-aged young people (examples on the page include Years 8, 10 and 11) and older teens considering university, and is designed to be flexible to individual needs.
