Bespoke Guardianship Services

Who is UM?

UM was founded by Demi and Will in 2018, inspired by Demi’s personal experience as an international student in the UK. Having encountered challenges with hosts and agents, Demi was motivated to create an education business that truly supports students.

At UM, we take a holistic approach, focusing not only on academics but on the complete student experience. Recognising that students spend around 50% of their time outside of school, we are committed to ensuring that every aspect of their time in the UK is meaningful and enriching.

At UM, we provide a holistic service, collaborating closely with schools, parents, students, and host families to create the best possible experience for each child. Grounded in expertise, rigour, and genuine care, we ensure that your child is supported and thriving, with 24/7 availability.

Our team is carefully selected for their experience, knowledge, and, most importantly, their dedication to achieving the best outcomes for the children in our care.
