I participated in Zero Gravity last year with my mentor Joseph. He helped me think of a plan to write my personal statement and go through any questions I had regarding the application process but also life in university. It made me more comfortable when applying as I now know what to expect.

I have always been passionate about my education and being able to achieve my goals, so when I stumbled upon Zero Gravity and connected with my mentor Elmira, it felt like fate. Elmira has been instrumental in guiding me through the university application process, providing invaluable advice and insight that I wouldn't have access to otherwise. Her expertise and support have helped me navigate the complexities of applying to the top universities, whilst also providing support on my A-Level subjects and university major. With her help, I have gained confidence in my abilities and have a clearer path towards achieving my academic and career goals. Zero Gravity has truly been a game-changer for me, and I am grateful for the support and guidance I have received from both the platform and my mentor. My mentor but also this platform, deserves so much more recognition!

I never planned to go to Sixth form, let alone University, but after being encouraged to sign up for Zero Gravity and being assigned a mentor, I realised that University wasn't as scary and unachievable as I first thought. One thing led to another and suddenly I had this new passion and applied for Oxford, the fact I've received a conditional offer is still mind-blowing to me, and I'm so thankful to Elisha for all of her help over the past year and helping navigate me through all the stress I felt submitting coursework and awaiting my interviews!

I come from an inner-city school in North London and I applied to Zero Gravity after hearing about it at UNIQ (oxford summer school). It was the best thing for me. After having so much disruption to my education at school, I was able to work with my mentor and build on my skills and gain more confidence. I truly think I was able to beat the odds because of my mentor and rise above my situation rather than getting lost amongst the struggle. I was summer pooled for the University of Cambridge and I think that because of my continuous engagement with my mentor, I still stand a fighting chance. Zero Gravity has allowed me to engage with others going through the same thing and reminded me that I am not going through this alone and has given me the opportunity to further my education myself, which in turn has strengthened my ability.

I was an early applicant and was matched with my mentor who had completed the same degree I was aspiring to do. Not only did they help me perfect my personal statement but I also learnt how to approach and tackle the admissions assessment. I found the skills that I learnt with my mentor were skills I could also apply in the classroom. It taught me how to be more precise with my writing, refined my presentations skills, and taught me to look at things from all different perspectives. Our weekly sessions ensured that I continuously met deadlines and kept on top of my work alongside juggling my school work and job. I was also given the opportunity to look over some of my previous work like essays I had written and get advice from my mentor on how I could improve it to achieve top grades.

I will be studying psychology at university and I plan to do a placement year as part of the course (sandwich year). I am passionate about helping others and I am hopefully starting to volunteer at a charity that does play sessions for disabled children as a play worker. The Zero Gravity community has been so helpful and everyone is so kind and friendly. It is truly an amazing space to get advice on anything regarding university. In addition whilst I have not attended many masterclasses the ones I have attended have been hosted by people that are super knowable and I got a lot out of the ones I did attend. My mentor has been so amazing, she really helped me with my personal statement to study psychology at university. I really struggled to know what to write within the personal statement and she really helped me to nail my personal statement which lead to me getting offers from all of the courses I applied to. In addition my mentor has supported me through two rounds of mock exams that did not go the best. She helped me to understand that even though I did not do the best and got a D in those mock exams that there is loads I can learn from them and that maybe my revision techniques where not the best.

My experience with zero gravity has been amazing. I’ve been exposed to so many amazing opportunities and have been part of a lovely community. My mentor has been amazing. She helped me prepare for my NSAA, helped me draft my personal statement and did mock interviews with me to help me get into Cambridge. She was so sweet and comforting when I got rejected from Cambridge and it has been amazing working with her. I will definitely miss her a lot and I know she will go on to do something amazing after she graduates.

I’m hoping to study Mathematics and to apply to top universities for this subject, often an admissions test or interview is needed. My mentor was pivotal in helping me succeed in both. Not only was he always answering my questions via the chat but he also provided me with interview preparation during our mentoring sessions. While my mentor was able to help with specific techniques for my tests, the Zero Gravity masterclasses gave me a practical understanding of how to prepare and revise for such an exam. Other than being an aspiring mathematician, I am an avid reader and film blogger. I have found writing online to be an excellent way to improve my articulation and confidence. I am also passionate about volunteering, whether it’s within the school or out and whether it’s for the local foodbank or an online mental health initiative

I'm a dedicated student who had the incredible opportunity to work with Zero Gravity, which has been transformative for my academic journey. My mentor, Tamara, has been exceptional, providing invaluable support and guidance. She helped me craft a compelling personal statement, conducted insightful mock interviews, and assisted me in perfecting my CV. Beyond her technical support, Tamara has been a constant source of encouragement and advice, making the stressful university application process much more manageable. Her unwavering support during exam preparations and throughout the entire university process has been instrumental in my success. Tamara's mentorship has not only enhanced my academic skills but also boosted my confidence, making her an indispensable part of my journey.

My mentor was wonderful, he supported me the whole way through and there is no way I could’ve got the offers I got without him. The wider site is exceptional and gave me insights that allowed me to excel in my subjects too.
