Samia’s College Qualifications
I bring an international perspective to college coaching, having lived and studied in multiple countries and navigated different application systems firsthand. I completed my undergraduate studies at Columbia University in the US and earned my master’s degree from Sciences Po Paris, which gives me a deep understanding of both American and European admissions processes. Over the years, I’ve coached students applying to undergraduate and master’s programs, helping them position themselves strategically while staying true to who they are. My approach goes beyond prestige: I care about finding a place where you’ll not only succeed academically, but actually be happy and fulfilled. I’m always happy to start with a first session to get to know each other, understand your goals, and see if we’re a good fit.
