OUR STORY
Education Allies was born from a steadfast belief in the transformative power of education. Our journey began with a vision: to provide tailored, compassionate support for children and young people, helping them overcome challenges and unlock their full potential.
Our founder’s journey started as a secondary school English teacher at the Institute of Education, leading to diverse roles in inner-city London classrooms, international schools, and SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) settings. Along the way, the focus has always remained unwavering: to guide young people toward success, no matter their circumstances.
For the past decade, this dedication has deepened into a specialisation in supporting children and young people facing complex mental health challenges, social and emotional needs, learning difficulties, and trauma. It became clear that with the right guidance, every young person can thrive—and that education is far more than grades; it’s about confidence, growth, and finding one’s unique path.
Education Allies emerged from a desire to bring this tailored support directly to families and young people. By combining expertise in education, a passion for individual well-being, and a holistic approach, we’ve built a service that meets young people where they are—offering mentorship, SEN support, and counselling to help them flourish academically and beyond.
Our story is one of belief: belief in the power of education, in the resilience of young people, and in the difference that personalised support can make. At Education Allies, we’re proud to walk alongside every child, family, and school on their journey toward brighter futures.

"Education Allies has been a game-changer for my child. Their mentor not only boosted their confidence but helped them re-engage with school and even activities outside the classroom. I’ve never seen them so motivated—thank you!"
