About — Stuart J. Bridge | Education Mentor & Youth Coach

Who I Am

A Committed Educator & Mentor

I am a qualified Teacher, with both QTS and a PGCE. I have 8 years of experience working in secondary schools, during 6 of which I have been active in the Pastoral Care of young people.

I have also been in charge of PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education) and served as Head of Year, as well as Form Teacher. These roles have given me a deep and practical understanding of the challenges young people face at every stage of their secondary education.

I believe in the strength of conversation and use the client relationship to offer support and advice as appropriate. My approach is always warm, patient and entirely focused on the wellbeing of the young person.

Based in Epsom, Surrey, UK. I am able to travel if necessary.
