Where Young People Teach, Learn and Lift Each Other Up

At Peer Genius, we connect children and teens with trained peer tutors and mentors who provide academic support, guidance and encouragement. Our tutors and mentors are GCSE and A-level students themselves, offering a unique perspective that helps learners understand concepts more easily, build confidence and stay motivated.

Whether your child is in school, receiving private tuition, home-educated or learning in a hospital setting, Peer Genius matches them with a peer tutor and mentor who truly understands their challenges and strengths.

Learning with someone who’s been there too helps students feel seen and supported. Our tutors and mentors bring energy, empathy and insight, turning challenges into confidence and curiosity into progress.

Peer Genius isn’t just about grades — it’s about growing together.
