Zero Gravity overview
Zero Gravity offers a great platform for tutoring via webcam, to learn and prepare for University through plenty of material, and to interact with A-Levels students about any questions they have.
Rewarding Journey
Zero Gravity has been part of a formative period of my life. I've been with them from the start in its early stages as a mentee in 2020 and I had an amazing mentor throughout the Cambridge application process. Fast forward to now, 3 years on: I'm in my third year at Cambridge. I was part of the first cohort of Zero Gravity Scholars and the financial support continues to be invaluable to help me make the most of opportunities, particularly in my case during my year abroad now. I'm also a proud mentor of a current Cambridge applicant and it has been so rewarding watching him progress over the course of our sessions. The rapport is great, as is the development of the Zero Gravity Community which enables you to help each other out with any questions in the relevant areas. Being able to give back to ZG as they have helped me means a lot to me. The new Career section is very useful too. I've just begun sessions with my Career Mentor and it has been really insightful for internship guidance. I really couldn't recommend Zero Gravity enough, and I look forward to being part of its journey as it continues to grow, helping those from disadvantaged backgrounds access opportunities.
Mentor
Accurately matched with a mentor, who’s very helpful and has current knowledge and guidance on the application process
Zero Gravity is a a great way to learn more about univeristy
Zero Gravity is a a great way to increase your knowledge on university in general as well as the specific course you want to do, what you need to do to be able to do that course, the specific university you want to go to and what you need to do to be able to go there. They help you make steps to do this and set you up with a great mentor who also helps do this. Yes this is all for free!
My Experience…
Hearing about experiences at university from current and past students, and the challenges that come with applying to university and moving on from sixth form. Hearing these experiences on chats, Live calls etc has helped me to gain a wider understanding of the things that some students find/found challenging when moving to uni. The community chats have also been very helpful, people are eager to help and give good advice on any questions you may have. Being part of the zero gravity community has helped me towards my university application. Personally for me, the mentor program was not as useful as I hoped it would be.
Zero Gravity is amazing
Zero Gravity provided me with numerous beneficial opportunities, including providing me with an amazing mentor. Without their support, I would not be where I am today.
Great mentors
This platform has been really helpful, particularly having a mentor. I feel a lot more confident about applying to top unis and my mentor has been extremely helpful.

Amazing platform
What makes my Zero Gravity experience great is that I meet people who have the same aspirations as myself and people who have experience in the career I wish to go into. Finding these people in one place enables me to confidently ask any questions knowing I'll find my answer and over time I've gained a deeper understanding of what it takes to go into the career I've chosen. I was glad to hear about the masterclasses being offered because they had greatly helped me especially when choosing the right university best suited for my skills as well as advice regarding my personal statement (I was given an excellent mentor). Overall, my experience so far has been great and would be amazing if the platform offered tutors for my subjects but besides that, I'm super grateful to this platform :)
Zero Gravity Mentor
Provide a platform to help disadvantaged students and make a positive social impact. It’s nice to work for an organisation that cares for the mentors as much as the mentees. I love working with Zero Gravity as it’s an amazing place to gain experience and network with like-minded people.
