Our mentors
Your child learns one-to-one from a PhD researcher from one of the world’s top 50 universities, supported by a caring team of enrollment advisors every step of the way.
A PhD researcher in their subject, from one of the world’s top 50 universities.
- Matched by subject. A student interested in marine biology works with a marine biologist, someone who does that research for a living.
- Selective, and matched with care. We’re selective about who mentors with us, and we make sure each mentor is a good fit for your child before they’re matched.
- One mentor, start to finish. The same expert guides your child from the first session to the final draft.
- Your child does the work, and keeps the skills. Mentors teach, question and give feedback; every idea and sentence is your child’s own.
Universities where our mentors have studied or researched include those above. Mentor profiles are shared once we know your child’s interests.
