Questions parents and students ask us.

We recommend onboarding at least one year before your application deadlines — ideally in the final one to two years of high school. Starting early is the whole point: it leaves time to arrange work experience, build projects and develop the track record that makes an application stand out. If you're closer to your deadline, book a consultation anyway — we'll tell you honestly what's achievable.

Everything is online, so we work with students anywhere in the world. Sessions are one hour unless otherwise arranged, every session is recorded, and each call is followed by a written summary with clear action notes — useful for the student, and reassuring for parents.

Current or recently graduated students at top global universities, specialising in the subject your child is pursuing — with fresh, first-hand experience of succeeding in this exact process. Every tutor passes a careful interview process and is matched to the student's way of learning and ambitions.

Strategy is always our entry point — it's what makes the tutoring effective, because your strategist identifies what's needed and oversees it all so nothing works at cross purposes. That said, every situation is different: bring any specific request to your free initial consultation and we'll discuss it.

Pricing is shared on request, because every package is tailored to the student's goals, timeline and needs. The first consultation is free and no-obligation, and flexible payment options are available.

All of them. We're fully online and work with students globally, supporting applications to top universities in the UK, the US and worldwide.

Timing and depth. Most support starts at the personal-statement stage — too late to build anything. We start one to two years out, use a structured Ikigai-based framework to make sure the subject choice is genuinely the student's own, and then build the profile that proves it. The result: essays and interviews that feel personal, not rehearsed.
