Mission

University admissions in the US and the UK are more competitive than ever before with applicant pools at their height and admissions rates to the most selective schools dropping substantially. Students are therefore balancing a greater workload with the numerous courses, exams, and essays that are required throughout admissions season. We offer individualized coaching and advising to help students craft the most competitive applications. Essay coaching involves an extensive interview process aimed at eliciting a student’s own voice and highlighting his or her unique strengths. Students enrolled in homeschooling programs or studying internationally are also offered specialized instruction based on their curriculum and the requirements of their targeted university programs. Additionally, we provide course instruction for Advanced Placement and honors courses – AP World History, AP US History, AP Literature, World Literature, and Shakespeare.

It is our goal to ease the burden of the application process and reduce stress. Many students are saddled with unprecedented levels of anxiety, and we strongly believe that the path to university should be inspiring and hopeful as well as full of options. We also support students struggling with any mental health issues and feel that this should not be a hindrance.

We have helped students gain admittance into the top-ranking schools in the US and the UK as well as top international masters and PhD programs. Acceptances include: Columbia, Princeton, University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, Duke, University of Chicago, Yale, Stanford, Barnard, NYU, Emory, Tulane, Boston University, University of Michigan, Cambridge University, Oxford University, Imperial College London, London School of Economics, University of Newcastle, King's College London, University of Edinburgh, McGill (Canada), and St. Andrews (Scotland).
