"Do you host any information sessions?"
Yes, we regularly host hour-long information sessions and Zoom webinars for families. These sessions are focussed on painting the overall landscape of the US, UK and European university admissions processes and the key considerations for students on their path to university. They are aimed at families with students in Years 10 to 12, as well as those at the beginning of Year 13 (final year).

"Are you comfortable working online?"
Yes, we have considerable experience working with students online for all three of our services as our students are based globally. We use tools such as graphics tablets and special video calling software (with screen sharing) to aid our work and ensure effective sessions. In our experience, working online can be equally as effective as in-person sessions.
"Do you provide admissions counselling for Canadian universities?"
Yes, while our primary focus is on US, UK and European universities (as this is where most of our students apply), we have worked with students who have gained admission and accepted offers to top Canadian universities, such as McGill, Toronto and British Columbia.
"How are you different to other counselling companies?"
Other firms often use multiple inexperienced, junior counsellors to work with clients. This creates high churn and inconsistency in the process, which is often several years long. Our model ensures that our counselling clients only work directly 1-on-1 with our founder, Talal Al-Nawab, who is highly experienced and dedicated.
"Do you offer any group classes or bootcamps?"
We currently only work on a one-on-one basis to ensure the highest quality outcomes for our students, however we may consider running small group online bootcamps in the future, focused on university application preparation and SAT/ACT test preparation.
