Theo was very helpful in my preparation for the deferral MBA applications. He shared with me a lot of information and suggestions about the programs and the application processes of the school I'm targeting. He was also very supportive in reviewing my resume for my incoming applications. Not only he is very knowledgeable, but he is also a very kind person. Recommended!

I contacted Alice late in the application cycle, during the holidays to support with Essay/resume finalisation. I loved working with her. She was a calm, attentive and helpful adviser to help me over to the finish line. Would highly recommend Alice :)

The session gave a clear overview on what is expected in the WMM essay. Ben showed us different examples that were unique in their way.

I am just so grateful to have gotten to know Victoria/Vica. I was in the final stages of my application when I was recommended to meet Vica. She quickly made me realize the depth I needed to dive and the heights I needed to climb to tell my story, channeled in ways that could relate to the readers. Vica was relatable and extremely conscious of what I needed which made it a lot of fun for me working with her. From the first get-go, I felt I had Vica on my team and that she was focused on my success. I felt I could easily trust her - her remarks were genuine and this was so valuable for me, to take in feedback and implement it even with days before the application. Vica has a strong sense of storytelling, and she brings with her degree in literature to articulate the story clearly and powerfully. Vica was also very generous with her feedback and very thoughtful about what I needed in my journey. I felt humbled by the effort she put in, jumping on calls despite being sick, taking in my draft with 4 other calls, and how much she was able to share and give me her reasoning behind the way she thought. This helped me see the light of my application. If I had to go for a war I would definitely have Vica on my side. She made me change my narrative to something that was authentic to me, helped me build up the sense of what I wanted to tell, and also made me feel encouraged throughout the whole process. I felt I had someone who believed in me throughout the process and I am so thankful for that. To be honest I insisted on taking more time with her just because of the value talking to her and the insights I felt she brought. Vica is truly incredible and I strongly recommend Vica if you ever get an opportunity to work with her! I know will be looking for all the opportunities that life brings to work with her.

Fantastic session with Ben on GSB's WMM. Learned a great deal about critiquing a successful essay, including a deep dive into the true meaning of 'show, don't tell' in an essay context, exploring different writing styles, and ensuring continuity and cohesion in the narrative without abrupt transitions. Also examined examples ranging from essays that encapsulate an entire life saga to those that focus on a single vivid anecdote while keeping the reader engaged.

As one of my initial pieces towards my MBA application process, Ben provided extremely detailed insights during his class on what people usually (or at least me) struggle with the most: essays! I came out of the class a bit refreshed and with lots of ideas. Highly recommend!

I reached out to Erik a few days to application deadlines. At that point, I was demoralized by my GMAT score and was also struggling with communicating my experiences, motivations and goals. Erik was very supportive and encouraging. He helped me see and communicate my values, perspectives and strengths, which I had previously taken for granted. He has a broad and global view and understood my background and the context of my work experiences. Through probing questions and insightful comments, he helped me tell my story. Erik has a keen attention to detail. He was able to identify defining moments from my experiences from our conversations. He helped me communicate my experiences, values, and goals via compelling essays. He also helped me rework my resume to a standard MBA resume that clearly showed my achievements. Despite the holiday season, he was very responsive and available to address my questions while providing constant encouragement that helped me push through. He gave me more time than I had paid for, and with his support, I was able to submit strong applications to my dream schools. His genuine commitment to my success and optimism were evident throughout the process. Regardless of the outcome, working with Erik has enabled me to gain deeper insights into my motivations and to see value in my experiences and perspectives. I highly recommend Erik’s coaching services and his Getting Started: Stanford and HBS webinar.

i mainly worked on Stanford package with Victoria. I spent 2 hours to finish the majority of what matters essay and why stanford. and then spent another 2 hours for other essays (like short answer essay) and check the application profile. She does a good job at making essay more cohesive, contributing ideas on why gsb. Victoria provided a discount to book her with 2 courses together. The price is extremely good considering the content and quality she provided!
