Small group sessions

Life skills work brilliantly in small groups of up to 8: learn from each other, practise together, and pay less each. Mentors run scheduled sessions on one topic; buy a seat like a ticket. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

Want a group on another topic, or one for your own friends or community? Email us.

Carefully vetted mentors

The same checks as our tutors

Mentors are chosen for their experience, and checked before they can run a single session.

  • Checked. Identity, experience, references and an Enhanced DBS check (UK) or police clearance (Nigeria).
  • Interviewed. Every mentor completes a recorded interview, including safeguarding questions.
  • Recorded. Every session is recorded and kept for 90 days. Parents can join sessions for under-18s.
  • Private by design. Phone numbers, emails and social media handles can't be shared on AfriTutor.

Please note: Life Skills & Mentoring offers guidance and education. It isn't therapy, counselling, medical, legal or regulated financial advice. If you or someone you care about needs urgent help, contact your doctor or local emergency services.
