The Zero Gravity Effect
Shaking up the status quo through the
power of mentoring.
1. Defying gravity
Where we start off in life often pins us down - almost like gravity. Even today, many students must overcome unique challenges to reach the very best universities.
2. Digitally driven
By harnessing the power of digital technology, our mentoring platform connects the UK’s brightest state school students with leading university undergraduates.
3. Guided by experience
Our undergrad mentors share their subject insights and experiences navigating the university application process to get our students ready for top flight study.
4. Connected by ambition
Our growing community is transforming access to higher education, ensuring the brightest minds reach the best universities - no matter their background.
