I’ve known Kyle for several years and I’ve always been amazed at his patience, intelligence, and work ethic. We were both in Questbridge together and he helped me tremendously when college application season came around. With his help proofreading my essays and interview prep I got into multiple Ivys and T20 schools (all of which he helped me negotiate a full-ride + stipend). He is extremely knowledgeable on successfully assisting with applications to highly competitive programs, tutoring on complex concepts, and is all around a fantastic person to learn from! He is truly exceptional, and has already helped dozens of people over the past few years.

I’ve known Kyle since high school, and even back then his talent and character stood out. He used to help me with math not because he had to, but because he genuinely wanted to see me succeed. Over time we grew closer and became best friends, and I’ve watched him continue to approach every challenge and every person with patience, intelligence, and kindness. Kyle is the kind of person who brings out the best in others. He listens deeply, explains clearly, and shows up with full commitment no matter what he’s doing. Beyond being remarkably sharp and reliable, he is truly one of the best people I know. His integrity, empathy, and work ethic are unmatched, and I have no doubt he would be an outstanding coach on the Leland platform. Anyone who works with Kyle will be lucky to have him in their corner.

Rohan was an exceptional career coach throughout my MBA at London Business School, providing practical, targeted guidance on both my CV and wider job search strategy; his deep understanding of MBA recruiting dynamics, paired with clear and actionable feedback on how to position my experience, consistently helped me sharpen my narrative, tailor my applications, and significantly improve the quality and impact of my CVs and cover letters for competitive roles.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Pooja at IBM while supporting talent strategy management within IBM Consulting, and I have also partnered with her in multiple capacities both inside and outside of IBM. Pooja is a truly influential coach and leader who consistently elevates those around her. She builds strong, high-performing teams through generous knowledge-sharing, exceptional project management skills, and a deeply empathetic coaching style that creates a safe environment for learning, asking questions, and growth at every level. On a personal note, Pooja was instrumental in supporting my development when I first joined IBM Consulting Talent team and continued to offer thoughtful guidance throughout my tenure. Her ability to lead while actively listening is a rare strength and, in my view, the hallmark of an outstanding coach, one whose impact benefits both individuals and organizations alike.

Patricia’s guidance throughout my GMAT test-taking journey was invaluable to my success in the most recent MBA admissions cycle. I was very nervous about taking the GMAT, as it had been years since I had taken a standardized test, but her thoughtful preparation and individualized coaching style helped improve my score by over 200 points from my original baseline, giving a much-needed boost to my MBA candidacy. Thank you, Patricia, for all of your help!

Michael helped me get into Cornell University early. He is incredibly responsive, even during holidays and weekends, and provided substantial feedback for my essays and overall application. He also helps to ease a lot of the tension during the college application process by being honest and reliable during the whole process.

Patricia helped me navigate both the business school essay test and application process by offering personalized strategies and thoughtful guidance. Her support played a key role in my success and ultimately in gaining admission to business school. I’ve also seen her help multiple friends with similar goals, from test preparation to overall application strategy. Because of this, I’ve long encouraged her to pursue coaching professionally. I’m glad she’s finally taking this step, as I’m confident she will be an excellent coach.

My son was completely stuck with his Common App essay, and every draft felt forced and not true to who is really is. Lindsey immediately put him at ease. She has a remarkable way of getting high school students to open up, project confidence and express themselves authentically. She guided him through a structured process that helped him uncover a personal story he never would have chosen on his own. She held him accountable to the timeline we developed with (gentle) check-ins, and was a true cheerleader for him in moments of self-doubt. Her ability to help a student find their voice is one in a million. My son was accepted to Dartmouth and Princeton.

Mervi was super helpful in helping me improve casing. She is very detail oriented and provides feedback in a very logical manner that is easy to understand and improve on. Highly recommend!

Jimmy is the definitive LSAT tutor for splitters. He can probably help anyone improve, but if getting into *that* school with *your* GPA feels like a pipe dream, Jimmy is a role model for success. As a splitter (before hitting 170+) you’re often advised to, “be realistic.” I heard this repeatedly from friends, parents and even a therapist. I wanted to get into a T-14 and told Jimmy my goals. He not only helped raise my LSAT score 10 points, but was emotionally supportive and encouraging through the entire process. I doubt a commercial tutor would have gone above and beyond this way. He gave me the kind of custom-tailored LSAT tips you need to break into the 170s, addressing my particular weaknesses. Despite the focus on score, I never felt like a number. Jimmy listened and empathized with my disappointments while encouraging my success. When I hit a score plateau, not once did he tell me to give up or settle. A year after scoring 176, I was waitlisted at a T-14. I called Jimmy and he not only answered by phone but gave me admissions advice for free. If you are serious about achieving a high score and care about where you go to law school, work with Jimmy!
