About The Brilliant Club

The Brilliant Club is a UK-based educational charity that aims to increase the number of students from underrepresented backgrounds who progress to highly selective universities. Founded in 2011, the organisation works with schools and universities to provide students with access to university-style learning experiences.

Through its innovative programmes, The Brilliant Club connects students with PhD tutors who deliver challenging academic content in a supportive environment. This approach not only enhances students’ knowledge but also builds their confidence and aspirations for higher education.

The charity operates across England and Wales, reaching thousands of students each year. Its core activities include:

• Academic Tutoring: Providing one-on-one and small group tutoring sessions tailored to individual student needs.
• University Access Programmes: Offering workshops and resources that demystify the university application process.
• Research Projects: Engaging students in research projects that develop critical thinking and analytical skills.

The Brilliant Club believes that every student deserves the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background. By fostering a love for learning and encouraging academic excellence, the charity strives to create a more equitable education system.

With a dedicated team of staff and volunteers, The Brilliant Club continues to expand its reach and impact, ensuring that more young people can fulfil their potential and achieve their dreams of attending top universities.
