Our mentors were where you are a year ago. They will tell you what they did, what they would do differently, and whether you are actually on track.

What an hour covers

First and second years

Which firms, the CV, the interview

Most firms stop reading long before the deadline they advertise, so when you apply matters as much as what you send. CVs that get past the first screen. Tests, video interviews, and mocks with a mentor who sat the real one in January.

Year 12 and 13

Where to apply, the statement, results day

Whether your list is realistic, said plainly. The personal statement, which is three questions now and not one essay. Interviews practised with a mentor who sat them recently. And results day, including the version where it goes wrong.

All of it from mentors who sat the same process last year. See what we can help you with.

Why not just ask ChatGPT

Because the things that decide these applications are not written down anywhere yet.

  • A model knows the deadline a firm advertises. A mentor knows the week it actually stopped reading, because that is the week their friends stopped hearing back.
  • A forum knows a firm uses a video interview. A mentor sat that one in October and can tell you what it asked and how long you get to think.
  • A careers adviser has read the guidance. A mentor was in the room, heard what the interviewer said on the way out, and knows what it meant.

What happens after the first hour

What keeps people coming back happens between the sessions.

  • Notes after every session, and drafts read between them, off the clock.
  • We track your deadlines and check in the day before, and on results morning.
  • We remember the details. The firm you actually want, the mock you were dreading, which choice is the real one.
  • No minimum and no commitment. Stop and come back whenever.

What is coming up

Spring week applications are open and closing now.

Oxbridge is 15 October at six in the evening. The main UCAS deadline is 13 January.

The dates that decide your year

What it costs

One rate an hour, whatever you bring. You are matched to the mentor who applied to your subject and your firms, and it costs the same either way.

You pay when you book, and if the hour was not worth it, tell us and we will refund it.

The rate, or fifteen free minutes first to work out whether we are the right people.

Start whenever

An hour to get on with it, fifteen free minutes if you would rather talk first, or a message if you would rather write.
