“Mentoring has provided me with invaluable insights based on real-world experience, which I otherwise wouldn’t have access to. My mentor guided me through multiple application processes (UCAS and scholarships) and helped me to better understand the expectations of such organisations. The school closures have been difficult to deal with, but the advice from my mentor has lessened my worries and enabled me to make the unprecedented situation far more manageable.” – Year 13 student
