Real story. Real path. Real proof — from student visa to UK Data Scientist, helping students achieve their UK career goals.
My journey
From student visa to scientist
I came to the UK as a student visa holder. I've walked the exact path you're standing on — picking the course, choosing the university, writing strong SOPs, surviving visa interviews, and finally landing a sponsored job.
No one in my family had done this before. I figured out CAS, accommodation, bank accounts, and UK CV format the hard way — by getting it wrong first. This page is so you don't have to.

Why Student Help UK
Why I started this
Because no one helped me when I needed it. I had to figure out CAS, accommodation, SOPs and visa interviews alone. I want to be the mentor I never had.
“If even one student avoids the mistakes I made, this whole project is worth it.”
Success mission
1,000 → 10,000 students by 2028
My goal is to coach 10,000 international students by 2028. Free YouTube content + low-cost 1:1s + community programs.
