Amanda was incredibly helpful while I was preparing for casing and was a major reason I was able to land a summer internship at McKinsey for my junior year. She not only ran live cases with me but also walked me through how to break down complex problems, build structured frameworks on the fly, and communicate clearly under pressure. She sent me resources she found helpful during her own recruiting process, gave detailed feedback after every case we did together, and even helped me improve my mental math and chart-reading skills. Amanda never hesitated to make time for me, even during her own busy weeks, and her encouragement and belief in me helped boost my confidence throughout the process. I’m genuinely so grateful for her support and couldn’t have done it without her!

Nelson coached me through both product manager and data scientist interviews, offering sharp, actionable insights that strengthened my strategic thinking and product intuition. What really stood out was how he tailored his guidance not just to the roles I was targeting, but to who I am as a person. He helped me reflect on my passions, understand my long-term goals, and navigate career uncertainty with clarity and confidence. Nelson doesn’t just prepare you for interviews. He would help you grow into the version of yourself you aspire to be.

I had the opportunity to work with Ted both at BCG and DiDi, and he’s been a standout mentor and coach throughout my career. During my MBA application process, he was instrumental—not only in helping me clarify where to apply and, ultimately, where to go, but also in shaping the narrative for each part of my application. Ted has a real gift for drawing out ideas and turning them into impactful stories. He’s thoughtful, strategic, and incredibly generous with his time. I’m grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend working with him if you’re navigating big career or education decisions.

Bri is incredibly thoughtful, well-researched, articulate, and honest as a mentor - she will tell you the truth and give you clear, actionable feedback to make your writing the best it can be. As a strategist, she is collaborative and experienced, and will help you to navigate the unwritten rules and submit an application that, to an admissions committee will reflect your good judgement and fit for the program. Can’t recommend Bri enough.

Bri is a reliable professional coach and mentor that is an effective communicator. She supported me when finding my place at Deloitte during the beginning of my career. She helped give advice and set goals, all important in my first year

I worked with Ted at DiDi, and he was a big reason I ended up at Wharton. He's the kind of person who will take time to mentor a more junior employee in a completely different department and advise you on your career path years after you work at the same company. He helped me think through whether to apply to business school versus other opportunities, advised on application strategy and recommender selection, and provided thoughtful career guidance before and during the MBA. Ted is both big-picture and practical. Whether I was asking what career paths made sense after school or how to stand out in my application, he always knew how to help. If you're looking for someone to help you both make smart career decisions that support your growth and execute on them, Ted is a great partner.

I was lucky to meet Ted at BCG. Over the years we've known each other, he's mentored me through every stage of my career - leaving consulting, applying to MBA (am now at GSB), and deciding which path to take for my MBA summer internship. From his credentials you can tell he is competent, driven, and a hard worker. I'm here to tell you what isn't obvious from logos on a page - about how much he cares, about how intuitive he is, about his ability to help me structure my messy ideas into actionable next steps. His ability to empower me without telling me what to do. Ted is an empathetic listener. His biggest joy is from empowering others around him. Fun fact - his recommendation letter for my girlfriend's MBA application was so good they brought it up during her HBS interview (the school she ended up attending). If you're applying to MBA (or thinking about it) do yourself a favor and work with Ted.

I have worked with Amelia for five years. She took the time to truly understand who my child is, not just their academic strengths, but their interests, values, and how they learn best. With that insight, she helped shape an academic plan that felt purposeful and balanced. Her support helped my child make thoughtful decisions about classes and stay motivated along the way. She also introduced summer programs that we never would have found on our own. Each one matched my child’s interests and opened doors to new experiences that helped them grow and stay curious outside of the classroom. When it came to extracurriculars, Amelia encouraged my child to focus on what mattered most to them. It never felt like she was helping them build a résumé. It felt like she was helping them figure out what they care about and how to make a meaningful impact. As the college process began, Amelia helped bring everything together with calm and clarity. She guided us in building a balanced college list, stayed on top of deadlines, and gave thoughtful advice at every step. My child felt supported and grounded throughout what could have been an overwhelming process. I am incredibly grateful for Amelia’s wisdom, patience, and belief in my child. Her impact goes far beyond applications or admissions.

I can’t say enough good things about Darla! I could not have gotten in to BYU without her help. She gives specific and actionable feedback that makes edits easy. She’s so nice and passionate about helping students the best she can!

I greatly appreciate the experience of working with Mykyta. He helped me with my motivation letter for applying to the University of the Arts London. With his support, I successfully passed the selection rounds. I received valuable and practical advice, as well as detailed feedback.
