I connected with Coach Mario for my grad school application. I love how he will always give me comprehensive feedback and straightforward suggestions. From the past few months work with Coach Mario, not only my overall writing skills improve quickly but also I have a specific goal for my future development! In addition, I like how Coach Mario is communicative and thoughtful.

Working with Debby is a game-changer. I had been struggling with my essays, in particular how to convey my journey and experience in ways that admissions would appreciate. Debby immediately knew the best steps and guided my throughout the process with amazing insights, edits, and direction. In the end, I had a very strong and clear application that was lightyears better than I could have imagined. She also directed me to other programs I had not previously known about or explored, and this opened my eyes to even more possibilities for grad school - I just accepted an offer of admission to UPENN, a school and program she recommended to me. I recommend Debby and sing her praises to anyone asking for help with applications, navigating programs, and everything else that goes along with this. She is a game changer and definitely someone you want in your corner throughout applications. She will leave you feeling very prepared, confident, and satisfied with your applications. Thank you for everything Debby!!!

Lucas is a great coach who always shows care and helps you understand the importance of telling your story authentically. He is able to relate to the challenges of applying to your dream school, and maintains an open and honest form of communication with his mentees. Through my application process Lucas helped me flesh out parts of my personal story that I didn't even know existed, or didn't think were worthy of being shared. Having gone through the MBA/MPP application process himself, Lucas is very sharp on the types of experiences that should be relayed to the admissions committee. I'm thankful to have gotten to work with Lucas and would recommend others looking for a mentor to do the same.

I reached out to Stetson on a very short notice over the New Year holiday to help refine my personal statement, and he was such a wonderful support. He went above and beyond our coaching hours to thoroughly review the essay and provide valuable feedback. In such a short amount of time, he was able to pinpoint aspects of my story to spotlight, tailored to the school I was applying to.

Maya is, without a doubt, the best mentor you could hope for in any master’s admissions process. Despite my focus on a data science master’s, she went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of my application was polished to perfection. What truly sets her apart is her exceptional communication skills and unwavering flexibility. Being based in Poland, I expected time zone differences to be a challenge, but Maya was always accommodating, making the process seamless. Her dedication, keen attention to detail, and deep understanding of admissions made all the difference. In the end, I was admitted to my top-choice master’s program with scholarships.

When I first reached out to Jesse, it was just one week before my MBA application interviews, and I was feeling incredibly anxious. However, this one-week preparation with Jesse was invaluable. Not only did I refine my interview answers, but I also gained confidence in my English-speaking skills as a non-native speaker, which significantly improved my overall performance. I highly recommend Jesse to anyone preparing for an English interview, especially those who may be struggling with confidence. Beyond the general question preparation and interview process, I want to highlight three aspects that made working with Jesse truly exceptional: 1. Expert Guidance for My Unique Situation Due to my unconventional background, I had some tough situations that needed careful explanation during the interview. Jesse, as an experienced native English-speaking MBA consultant with extensive professional experience, provided me with strategic and culturally appropriate solutions that aligned with Western expectations. The effectiveness of our approach was confirmed by the positive feedback I received from interviewers. 2. Personalized Support & Commitment As Jesse emphasized in his introduction, he truly cares about ME—my achievements, my progress, and my success. This is the most important factor for me when seeking a consultant. Despite working across different time zones, he always made an effort to respond promptly and accommodate my schedule. Together, we designed the most efficient strategy to achieve my goals—deciding what I should practice independently, what we should work on together, and how to maximize our preparation time. He even devoted extra time to reviewing my recordings, ensuring I could make continuous improvements. 3. Encouragement & Confidence Building One of the biggest challenges for me was my lack of confidence in my English-speaking skills. Jesse continuously encouraged me to express myself naturally and spontaneously, reminding me that clarity matters more than perfection. He reassured me that my speaking was absolutely fine and fully understandable, helping me shift my focus from trying to be flawless to simply being clear and confident. Thanks to Jesse’s guidance and encouragement, I was ultimately able to speak naturally, like having a real conversation—rather than sounding like a scripted robot. I am incredibly grateful for Jesse’s support, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their English interview skills and boost their confidence. His expertise, dedication, and encouragement made all the difference in my MBA interview success!

Angeli is incredible. She went above and beyond to help me with my applications, guiding me from start to finish, including interview prep. She helped me in ways I couldn’t have done myself. Very responsive and understanding. I highly recommend her. Thank you for everything.

I had a chance to connect with Coach Melissa for one of my grad interview preps, she is so calm and understandable which helps me to calm my stress. She will give comprehensive feedback and all the questions she asked during the mock interview was super super helpful! I recommend everyone to work with Coach Melissa and trust me it is worth it!

Junius is an amazing coach. He boosted my confidence and helped me craft a compelling narrative of my experiences. Highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to hone their interview skills!

Indrani was all I could ask for in a law admissions coach! She is incredibly flexible and can meet students wherever they are in their admissions journeys, all while helping to tell a student's story in the most compelling way possible. Additionally, as a college student who was attempting to craft my personal statements whilst still in school, I greatly appreciated her ability to work asynchronously!
