Description
Strong MBA essays start with knowing what you want to say. I’ll help you work through your experiences, choose the stories that matter, and explain them clearly. This package focuses on your essays, from the first ideas to the final review. We’ll work through each draft together so your writing gives schools a clear sense of who you are and what you want to do.
What you'll get from this package
90-minute private essay workshop: We’ll explore your background, motivations, and goals to find useful starting points for your essays. We’ll also look at examples to understand what makes an essay work. You’ll leave with a clear direction and a plan for your first drafts.
Unlimited essay reviews: I’ll help you develop your ideas, organize your story, and improve the writing through as many revisions as you need within the agreed application round. Feedback will cover both the overall message and specific passages, while keeping the essays in your voice.
Support across your school’s essays: We’ll consider how your essays work together, including the main prompts and any additional essays included in our agreed scope. Each answer should reveal something useful about you, without repeating the same story.

50+ M7 & Top MBA Admits | INSEAD MBA interviewer
Many candidates applying to INSEAD, London Business School, Oxford and Cambridge are doing so with one clear goal: to move into consulting. Yet that is also where many applications quietly become generic. Admissions committees have read thousands of versions of: “I want to transition into strategy consulting.” They can tell very quickly whether you genuinely understand the career you are describing, whether the goal makes sense given your background, and whether your story is credible. I bring a perspective that most admissions coaches cannot. As a Bain manager and interviewer, I spent years evaluating candidates and deciding who was ready to join the firm. Today, as an INSEAD alumni interviewer, I sit on the admissions side of that same journey. That means I can help you with two things in particular. First, I can tell you how your career goal sounds to someone who has actually hired for that role — and help you make it specific, credible and commercially grounded. Second, I can prepare you for the school interview from the perspective of someone who actually conducts these interviews. Around that, we do the core admissions work properly: building the right school shortlist, sharpening your CV, developing essays that tell one coherent story rather than five disconnected ones, and giving you an honest assessment of where you stand before you spend weeks writing applications.
