Package Description:

Five 60-minute sessions delivered over 8–12 weeks, aligned with your application deadlines. Session 1: Strategy & School Selection (60 min) We map your profile: your background, your goals, and what makes you different from thousands of other applicants. We identify programs across business, communication and media, education, or humanities, not just rankings, but actual fit. Session 2: Narrative & Storytelling (60 min) We build your core narrative. Not a list of achievements. A story that connects your past, present, and future. You leave with a one-paragraph answer to "Who are you and why this program?," the foundation for every essay and interview. Session 3: Essay Strategy (60 min) We break down each program's specific prompts. You leave with a clear plan for every essay: what to write, what to cut, and how to make every word work. I help you see what to say and how to say it in your own voice. Session 4: Resume & Recommendations (60 min) We turn your resume from a job description into an achievement story. We identify who should write your recommendations and what specific stories they should tell. Session 5: Interview Prep (60 min) We run a mock interview based on actual program formats. You leave with feedback, weak spots identified, and a plan to fix them. Between sessions: Written feedback on up to two drafts per essay or document. Email support: Quick clarifications within 48 hours. Strategy questions stay in sessions. This package is for you if you are applying from outside the US or UK and want to compete at the highest level. You are targeting top Master's programs in business, communication and media, education, or humanities.

Additional details

Coaching delivered via live sessions.

Direct. Practical. No fluff. I help you see what you already know but cannot articulate. Most of my clients already have strong profiles: good grades, good work experience, clear goals. What they lack is the ability to tell their story in a way that admissions committees will remember. That is where I come in. I am a sparring partner. I will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. If you want someone to push you, hold you accountable, and help you produce work that stands out, even as an international applicant, book the package.

Refund Policy

Payment: Upfront before the first session. Cancellation / Rescheduling: 24 hours notice. Late cancellations or no-shows will not be rescheduled or refunded. Between-session feedback: Written comments on up to two drafts per essay or document. I respond within 48 hours, excluding weekends. Email support: Quick clarifications only. Strategy questions stay in sessions. I respond within 48 hours, excluding weekends. Refunds: No refunds after the first session. If you are unsure whether this package is right for you, book a single session first. Sessions expire: All five sessions must be completed within 12 weeks of the first booking. Unused sessions after 12 weeks are forfeited. No guarantee of admission: I help you produce a stronger application. I cannot guarantee you will get in.

150+ MBA & Masters Admits | Expert in Cross-Cultural Applications

I have helped over 100 candidates gain admission to Master’s programs at Columbia, NYU, USC, King’s College London, SOAS, Sciences Po, and other top universities across the US, UK, and Europe. Many of my clients are applying across borders or in a second language. On paper, they may already look strong. What they need is help shaping a clear, distinctive story that shows admissions committees not just what they have done, but how they think, what drives them, and why they belong in the room. I work across disciplines including business, communication and media, education, and the humanities. What these programs are looking for is not just achievement, but clarity, intellectual maturity, and perspective. I help you identify what makes you stand out and communicate it in a way that is thoughtful, confident, and memorable.
