Mentoring & Tutoring

Our mentors are trauma-informed and SEN-trained, supporting the development of social, emotional, and communication skills. They observe, encourage, and look for natural opportunities to help players build key life skills.

They provide support and encouragement through teamwork, problem-solving, or patience, while taking care not to interrupt the flow of play.

Mentors support both personal growth and academic progress through mentoring and tutoring in a way that feels engaging and empowering.

Peace Of Mind

Every Xpact mentor holds a DBS, completes safeguarding training, and works to clearly agreed boundaries for voice/chat. Each mentor has access to a Designated Safeguarding Lead and simple escalation routes.

Our son has ADHD and autism, and emotional regulation has always been the biggest challenge. He would go from calm to overwhelmed in seconds, and nothing seemed to help him understand what he was feeling or why. Xpact has been a turning point for him. He’s learned to recognise his emotions, pause before reacting, and use strategies that actually work for him. The mentor has been patient, consistent and incredibly skilled at bringing out the best in him. The reports Xpact have provided for his EHCP have been detailed, accurate and helpful. They’ve highlighted his strengths, explained his needs clearly, and offered practical recommendations that school has started putting in place. For the first time, we feel like his support truly reflects who he is and what he needs. It’s made a huge difference to his wellbeing, and to our family as a whole.”
