Before we begin

A few useful
answers.

Can I book focused help rather than a full package?

Yes. An hourly counselling session is £120. You can also enquire about tutoring or an individual essay workshop. Scope and availability are confirmed before work begins.

Which application routes do you cover?

Global, UK and US counselling, alongside Campus France, Germany, Bocconi and IE routes. Discuss your intended destinations with us so we can agree the appropriate scope.

Will the application remain the student’s own work?

Yes. We provide guidance and feedback; applications and essays must be truthful and student-authored.

Do you guarantee an offer or test score?

No. Admissions decisions and test results depend on institutions, the student and other factors outside our control.

What happens after an enquiry?

We use your details to respond. An enquiry does not book or pay for a service. Paid work starts only after the scope and service agreement are confirmed.

Let’s plan your next step.

Start with your questions. We can discuss the support you are looking for.
