About Us

---

 At Mentoring Young Minds, we’re more than just a tutoring company – we’re your child’s biggest cheerleaders, mentors, and support crew, both in school and in life.

Founded by Alisha Wood, a passionate educator with almost 15 years of high school teaching experience and 18 years of tutoring kids, Mentoring Young Minds was born from a simple belief: every student deserves the tools to thrive. Alisha saw firsthand how students with unique learning needs – whether it’s ADHD, Dyslexia, or just a little extra academic or emotional support – often slip through the cracks in traditional classrooms. So, she set out to create something different.

We offer face-to-face sessions in the Sutherland Shire and Illawarra and online tutoring across New South Wales, with both one-on-one and small group options available.

Here’s the thing: confidence and wellbeing matter. Over years in the classroom, Alisha noticed that struggling students weren’t just falling behind academically – they were losing belief in themselves. And let’s be real, when kids don’t feel good on the inside, it’s hard for them to shine on the outside. That’s why we take a holistic approach, blending academic support with tools to improve wellbeing.

Our team of handpicked tutors works with students of all abilities, including those with additional learning needs like ADHD, Dyslexia, and other challenges. We’re not just here to “teach” – we’re here to listen, mentor, and tailor our approach to what your child truly needs.

Why Mentoring Young Minds?

• Tutors carefully matched to your child’s unique needs.
• A strong focus on building confidence and emotional wellbeing.
• Expert support for students with ADHD, Dyslexia, and other learning challenges.
• Flexible options: one-on-one or small group sessions, in-person or online.

At Mentoring Young Minds, we’re all about helping your child discover what they’re truly capable of – whether it’s smashing their school goals, building resilience, or simply finding joy in learning again.

So, if your child needs a boost in confidence, academic skills, or just a safe space to grow, we’re here to help.

Let’s work together to help your child shine – in school, and in life.
