Ascent is for anyone aged 13+ who wants to learn, grow, and connect with others who share their interests. Whether you’re a student, professional, or researcher, you’ll benefit from collaboration, goal-setting, and shared learning experiences.
Students
• University Undergraduates– Especially first-year or foundation-year students making the transition from school to university
• Graduate Students – Ideal for those working in smaller labs or studying remotely who want to feel more connected to the wider academic community
• School Students – Year 10–11 (O-level/GCSE) and Year 12–13 (A-level) students looking to work together and prepare for success
Ascent is where learning comes alive.
Join a vibrant community of students who challenge, inspire, and grow together. Stuck on a concept? Your peers are ready to guide you. Ready to lead? Teaching others is one of the most powerful ways to master a subject. With Ascent, you’ll level up your skills, spark curiosity, and turn everyday conversations into exciting deep dives—where “Is there a test on Friday?” transforms into “What did you think about the teacher’s take on neurogenesis in older adults?”
Teachers, Academics & Researchers
• Teachers who are passionate about student success
• Academics working towards publications who want accountability through regular writing sessions
• Researchers seeking special interest groups or collaborators to expand their projects and achieve bigger goals
With our experience in university teaching and research, we know the magic that happens when students and staff are truly engaged, curious minds asking questions, eager to explore and understand the world around them. Motivated students and staff don’t just learn better; they grasp concepts more deeply and confidently apply their knowledge beyond the classroom.
When your students and staff thrive, your entire school or university shines. These high-achievers become proud ambassadors of your institution and passionate advocates for your institution. With Ascent, you’re not just teaching, you’re shaping the future.
Parents
• Parents – give our kids the best possible start in their education
As parents ourselves, we know that learning is about so much more than just attending classes. It’s about building friendships, developing smart study habits that free up time for fun, planning ahead, and making thoughtful choices about how they spend their time. Most of all, it’s about helping your child discover their true potential and achieve success, without losing the joy and freedom of simply being a kid.
Every child is unique, with their own strengths and challenges on the learning journey. Through conversations with students and parents like you, we designed Ascent to meet these diverse needs. Some kids struggle to find motivation and end up distracted by social media, despite their potential. Others are self-starters who find regular lessons uninspiring and crave meaningful discussions about the bigger questions they’re curious about. Ascent supports every learner, whether they’re just getting started or ready to dive deeper.
We also get that parents are busy juggling so much! While you want to stay connected with your child’s education, you don’t have to be their personal tutor. Because Ascent is student-led and peer-driven, your kids will get plenty of practice explaining what they’re learning and debating ideas with classmates, a proven way to boost understanding and memory. Plus, by honing skills like critical thinking, persuasive communication, and clear reasoning, they’ll become more confident learners.
That means less pressure on you to manage study time and more opportunity to enjoy watching your child grow, sharing their ideas, gaining new life skills, and becoming a confident, curious learner ready to take on the world.
