• Mathematics
• Economics
• Physics
• Biology
• Law
• Business management

Whether you're currently studying or graduated within the past 5 years from a top-tier UK university, we’d love for you to join our network.

What You'll Do:

• Offer virtual 1:1 mentoring to students applying to competitive UK undergraduate or postgraduate courses
• Share your academic journey and give tailored advice on personal statements, interviews, and course prep
• Critique students’ writing and offer constructive feedback
• In some cases, provide mentorship as students begin their course
• Support young people from all backgrounds with empathy and encouragement
