1-2-1 calls with professionals they choose

how it works
One platform, two barriers reduced at once
Online classroom
High-school students book and receive lessons from their assigned university tutor
Credits system
Tutors earn credits for each session taught – redeemable for calls with professionals
Professional network
A database of professionals offering bookable 1-to-1 career calls
Each group gives something meaningful and receives something valuable back in a self-reinforcing chain of impact
Our mission
Opening doors to opportunity
Our goal is to give high school and university students from unprivileged backgrounds access to the academic support and professional networks that shape educational achievement and career success
Resources + Potential
=
Confidence + Achievement
Why it matters
Too many young people are locked out of the support that shapes their future
£30-50 avg. hourly cost of private tuition
Academic support can make a major difference to exam success, but many students cannot afford it
Background determines outcomes more than ability
20% of students from the lowest-income areas reach Russell Group universities vs. 45% from the most advantaged
Networks are unequal
32% less likely to receive an entry-level offer if from a low socioeconomic background
25% longer to progress to mid-level roles compared to wealthier peers

OUR story
Why I started trueFutures
I am the first in my family to go to university with no family background in the degree or career I chose. I earned a scholarship from a Russell Group university and worked as a banker and tech investor in London
My journey showed me that tutoring changes academic outcomes and networks change career outcomes
These resources are not equally available to all. I believe in meritocracy but true meritocracy cannot exist if people don’t have access to the same opportunities and resources. This is what trueFutures exists to change
