It’s the time of year where the Students in Classrooms Mentors, Associates and Ambassadors are training ready to go into local schools to support students in their studies.
Although they will be going into schools to help students learn and grow, it is a massive learning curve for them too and they are not without their worries…
Starting something new can be very daunting. Meeting new people, in a new environment and doing something you’ve never done before is a big thing!
Offering support throughout is something Students in Classrooms prides themselves on. There is also support in place from the ‘dedicated school coordinator’ who is available to help students or Mentors and Associates whilst they are in the classroom.
