Absolutely Smashing Service
My mentor consistently put in effort each week, sessions went on 3+ hours at times and he massively helped with course content, personal statement and the STEP Cambridge entrance exam. My mentor was Dan who has a master's in maths from Cambridge and he was bloody brilliant to say the least. I'd recommend it to all A level students who have high ambitions
I would definitely recommend
I was able to find a mentor who is doing exactly what I also aspire to do. The amount of help and insight I have now into general university life-and also admissions processes- is extremely valuable. I feel supported and not afraid to apply to university.
My experience with Zero Gravity
I joined Zero Gravity to gain additional support for getting into University. I was paired with a mentor who was currently attending university and they helped me by giving advice on my personal statement and preparing for university. Zero Gravity offers resources to help young students to reach their aspirations. They help to provide information on work experience offers and to help students to get into university through masterclasses/webinars, asking current university students for advice to build the start of their careers in the wider world.

Great mentorship advice through masterclasses and mentors. Really helped me get introduced to subject areas in biosciences
Very Helpful
Very helpful, many resources. Kind and informative mentors.
Very very useful
I have had a great experience with Zero Gravity. As I come from a 1st generation household, I was very clueless when it came to applying for university and my sixth form could only do so much seeing as there’s more than 100 students in my year. Zero gravity allowed for more tailored help and to form a good relationship with mentor. My mentor read my personal statements and always helped me improve them when she could. Also, she helped me shortlist universities, providing expertise when she could. She spoke about her life at university and how she was balancing her social life and university work, which I think will prove useful. Seeing as we studied similar subjects, she was able to show me her model answers, explain some concepts to me, and read my own answers. This also enabled her to relate to me as I know she has also gone through this process, which made me feel better about everything as A-Levels can be very stressful! Chans made herself available to answer every little question I had, she also checked up on me. I'm very grateful that Zero Gravity gave me the opportunity to meet her.
Zero gravity review
My assigned mentor has put in a lot of effort to help me choose a type of degree, and they have also helped shorten down my list of universities. It is also very helpful to look into the community posts and see people who have similar questions to me and be able to see answers posted.
Scholarship application
It was absolutely wonderful to be offered the opportunity to apply for a scholarship! Not only is is the chance to improve my experience as a uni student, but it’s also very confidence-boosting. I cannot recommend Zero gravity enough!
Zero Gravity Experience
Zero gravity was recommended to me by my teacher and no one else seemed to want to try it so I decided to find out what it was all about. I was initially nervous to be matched with my mentor because I didn't know if they would be a serious person or even if they would help. Those feelings quickly went away after my first few sessions as I got to know my mentor and we figured out the best ways to make use of the sessions. I had already made and sent my personal statement so even though he was eager to help me with it there was no need, so instead we turned the focus onto the academic side of things. My mentor was a fantastic resource as he allowed me to get ahead in my subjects, he did this by creating powerpoints about topics that I'd ask for help with or topics that were to be taught later on in the year so that I had a good understanding of the basics before going through them at school. My mentor also helped me prepare for an admissions test at Imperial College London by giving me practice questions and explaining common techniques that helped me tremendously. Thanks to the help of my mentor I now have a conditional offer at Imperial College London and I am feeling confident about meeting the triple A* requirement thanks to the one-to-one sessions.
A great opportunity
My mentor has made my experience great! It has been so helpful in answering all my questions and helping to prepare me for university. My mentor has helped me open doors to university and directed me to resources that will help with my application process. Our meetings have been entirely tailored for me getting the best I can out of it. The community section allowed me insight into other people in the same position as me as well as great tips for things like revision! My experience of Zero Gravity has been a great learning opportunity and one I’m so great full for.
