This programme came about very organically, partly by chance, mainly by necessity. It began back in 2010 when Dr Ashley Hilton (a medical student at the time) was asked by his housemate Stephen- an international student- whether he would help his younger sister with her application to UK medical school.

As a favour he happily served as her medical application tutor. After he successfully gave her help with getting into medical school, she asked whether he could help two of her friends.

He then helped both of them, and again was successful with getting them in first time around. Then started the snowball effect of recommendations that escalated to the point where he had more students than he knew what to do with and accidentally had started a business!

Since then, it has continued to evolve and grow into the online platform that you see today.
