Sebastian Beyenburg obtained his international baccalaureate from the Athénée secondary school in Luxembourg City. He received support from his parents and his English teacher when he tried to apply for a university degree but quickly realised that the whole application and enrollment procedure were rather complicated. For tis reason, he decided to become Luxembourg's first mentor for pupils hoping to study in England or in the US.
He told RTL that he is currently trying to build his own team. "I'm currently the only one but the goal of the project is to have a full team dedicated to finding secondary school pupils that will enroll at their dream university thanks to the 'Project Access'."
To apply for mentoring, pupils need to prove that, at their school, they do not have access to information about universities and degrees to the same extent than pupils at private schools or international schools.
Phoebe Maton is one of Luxembourg's pupils relying on "Project Access" for mentoring. She will graduate from secondary school next year and her goal is to study Business Management at King's College in London. Her mentor is from Finland and already a student at King's College. Phoebe told RTL that the mentor can for instance be extremely useful when it comes to drafting a personal statement.
