About us

What we do and how it works

StudyGuard is a mentorship agency for students who study away from home. In practice, a mentor is one responsible adult with a strong academic background who is present in the student’s academic life every week.

The problem

A student moves abroad and everything changes at once: a new academic system, deadlines in a second language, university administration to deal with, and no adult nearby who understands how any of it works. Parents are hundreds of miles away and often hear about a problem only once it has turned into a grade.

Our solution

We assign a mentor who plans the week with the student, checks the work before it is submitted, talks to the institution when something needs resolving, and tells the family honestly how things are going. Structure and honest feedback, not babysitting.

What your mentor does

  • Projects and coursework

    Planning, structuring and reviewing assignments and projects before they are submitted.

  • Contact with the institution

    Writing to tutors, departments and administration when a question needs to be resolved.

  • Progress monitoring

    Keeping track of attendance, grades and deadlines, and flagging problems early.

  • Personal guidance

    Advice on routine, workload, motivation and settling into a new country.

  • Reports for parents

    A written summary you can actually read, sent monthly, fortnightly or weekly.

  • One point of contact

    Our operations manager stays reachable for the family throughout the plan.

      Common questions

      How do we get a quota?

      Send a request on this page or message us on WhatsApp or Telegram. After a short intro call we confirm the mentor, the plan and the start date.

      Which countries do you work in?

      We work with students studying in the United Kingdom and in the European Union.

      Can we change the plan later?

      Yes. Plans are agreed month by month, so you can move up or down as the workload of the course changes.

      Can we change mentor?

      Yes, at any point and without explanation. A mentoring relationship only works when the fit is right.

      In which language does mentoring take place?

      Mentoring is in English by default. Tell us in the request form if you need another language and we will say straight away whether we can cover it.

      Admissions support

      Oxbridge interview preparation

      A place at Oxford or Cambridge requires more than strong grades—it demands mastering their distinctive interview style. Our preparation, led by academic professionals familiar with the admissions process, includes targeted mock interviews and feedback to help you think critically, articulate your ideas with confidence, and showcase your intellectual potential.

      • Mock interviews in the style of the target college
      • Written feedback after every session
      • Subject-specific practice questions and reading guidance
      • Techniques for thinking out loud and handling unfamiliar problems

      Ask about interview preparation

      Tell us the university and the course. We will come back with the available slots and the next steps.
