What is Career Tutoring?

Careers tutoring is a new concept, based on one we all know very well - subject tutoring. What is the difference? Careers tutoring supports students age 15-25 with complex educational/career decisions and applications. Why might this be helpful? As currently, careers support in UK via schools is excellent, but students are unable to access enough time with professionals, due to student timetables and school budgets.

Careers tutoring supports students to consider educational and careers steps. It has developed in response to parent requests for more time with students to discuss and plan ideas.

  • Careers Counsellors in schools, colleges and universities provide amazing, qualified & experienced support, however each student is usually offered only 1 career session simply due to numbers. Students need & deserve more.

  • Having enjoyed being a Careers Counsellor in UK schools, college and working with Uni student and graduates for 10 years, Melanie Forrester knows exactly what can be covered in just one session. And how much more each student can be helped and supported to understand and achieve their ideal next steps.

  • School, college and Uni parents asking for private support for their students led to Melanie offering private careers tutoring. She now supports students and graduates age 15-25 to consider ideas, plan goals and apply for ideal options.
