About Engaging Young Minds Ltd
At Engaging Young Minds Ltd, we are passionate about providing alternative provision, offering trauma informed provision and life skills/forest skills to young individuals.
We provide personalised, high-quality provision that helps every learner grow in knowledge, confidence, and enthusiasm for learning. We create bespoke programmes to meet the individual needs of each student — recognising that every young person learns differently and deserves an approach that works for them.
We aspire to work with young people who experience barriers to accessing education, employment, and society more broadly. Our aim is to enable all young people to be successful in their education and confident in their future.
Our Services
Living Curriculum
Our bespoke programmes are designed to immerse and inspire individuals, providing a unique foundation for their learning journey.
Staffing
We offer 1:1 mentoring, 2:1 mentoring and small group learning. All our sessions are fully personalised and are designed to respond to each learners pace and focus areas.
Accreditations
We focus on therautic and trauma informed approached to learning as well as confidence building. We also help students access the Primary and Secondary curriculums, Functional Skills and core GCSE subjects, and can extend our provision to other subjects based on individual requirements.
We encourage students to engage in programmes at home, in the community and in nature, that enhance lifeskills, independence, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
Our Team.
At Engaging Young Minds, we are a small, dedicated team who share a belief that education works best when it starts with the individual.
Our approach is warm, flexible and nurturing, but always underpinned by high professional standards. We work closely with families, tutors, schools, local authorities and other professionals to create meaningful learning experiences that can include academic study, practical and life skills, mentoring and learning within the community.
We’re a small team, and we see that as one of our strengths. We know our learners, families and tutors, we communicate closely with one another, and we can respond quickly when needs change.
Above all, we want young people to feel safe, understood and valued, so they can rebuild confidence, discover what they are capable of and begin to enjoy learning again.

Participant Testimonials
Kathryn
'Thank you for providing worthwhile, supportive tuition in a friendly environment for my child. It is great to see a smile on their face when they come out of the class!'
Rachel
I just wanted to say a big thank you. As you know my son really struggles with his confidence and didn't enjoy school. However, he loves coming to your sessions which I can't believe! Special thanks to his tutor Emma as she has managed to get him reading which is amazing! We've been trying for years! He actually can't put his current book down! This has all had a positive knock- on effect to learning as he is feeling so much better about going to 'school'.
Claire
I would highly recommend Jo and the team. From my initial enquiry through to our son joining, Jo has been so helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Our son worries about new situations & can take a while to settle in, but we have already seen an improvement in his confidence, he can’t wait to get there every week! Each week tuition can be tailored to each child’s needs/homework or areas they are struggling with and this is really helping with his progression. The teachers are so welcoming and make the children feel at ease. If you’re looking for tuition I would highly recommend EYM!
