With teacher conferences here, parents have more insight on the important question, “How is my child doing in school this year?”
“Conference time is a perfect time to discover Role Model Mentors,” says Tim Boylan, founder of the start-up company. “We give parents a new option for helping their middle or elementary school child reach his or her potential.”
Role Model Mentors matches high-achieving high school students with younger students, based on academics and interests. Parents are finding their kids are motivated when paired with a high schooler who can help teach good homework habits and study skills. Mentors bring with them the confidence and real life experience that can make a positive impact on a younger child in as little as one hour each week.
“We can’t say enough about Role Model Mentors,” says Ridgefield parent Bob Llewellyn. “They paired our son up with a responsible, polite and very intelligent high school student who shared many of the same interests. It was such a great fit and experience, and our son always looked forward to the weekly visit. His mentor definitely helped him with studying, learning how to better organize himself, and after the school work was done, showing him soccer tips outside in our yard. But it also gave our son a first-hand, positive perspective on how he should act when he gets to high school.”
