How does Yipiyap support your leavers?
As a KS5 lead practitioner students will seek you out for advice about their next steps after school/college and will trust your opinion about the benefits of pathways other than heading straight to university.
Yipiyap offers a year out like no other and you probably already know someone who would make an amazing Yipiyap tutor so here’s how to make your students aware of us.

What do your leavers need to know?
If you’re looking to put your FE college’s 16-19 catchup funding to best use, Yipiyap Upgrade is a life-changing service. Our peer tutors inspire your GCSE resit students with tailored, small-group online sessions.
Why take a worked gap year?
Results of a survey by Milkround show that 88% of graduates reported that their gap year made them more employable.
Most universities and higher education institutions approve of gap years and think that a year out before applicants start university is beneficial for an individual to gain a sense of self sufficiency before they begin their degree.
A well-planned gap year will help future university students:
Gain independence and maturity
Pay towards university expenses
Decide which subject they really want to study
