Working with Giovanna over the years has been nothing short of incredible. She was instrumental in my decision to pursue my MBA at Kellogg. I still remember how nervous I was walking into those early events — and how, the moment I met her, I immediately felt at ease. Throughout the entire application process, she guided, encouraged, and supported me every step of the way. She never hesitated to hop on a call when I had questions or offer advice when I needed direction. It was clear from the beginning that she was genuinely invested in my success. Coming from a world where no one around me worked in business, her belief in me meant more than she’ll ever know. She helped me see what was possible, and I needed that. Even after I was accepted, we stayed connected, and her support has continued to be a grounding force throughout my time at Kellogg. Now, as I get ready to graduate, I’m so excited to celebrate this milestone with her. Giovanna is not only exceptional at what she does — she is an exceptional person. I admire her deeply, and I am endlessly grateful to have had her in my corner.

Great coach, understands all aspects of industries from startup to large corporations. Very understanding and open

I have been working with Gaurav for almost a year now, and he has been instrumental in helping me drive my career. He has guided me through my first professional job change, and has continued to provide expert advice as I navigate my new role. Could not recommend working with Gaurav enough

Gaurav has been my first and only coach, and he played a pivotal role in helping me successfully break into consulting despite my unconventional creative background. His structured approach to breaking down complex problems is something I still rely on today and will carry with me for a long time. Gaurav takes the time to truly understand your passions and supports you in a thoughtful and holistic way. I am grateful for the impact he has had on my journey and highly recommend him!

Mariana is an absolute delight and so helpful! The application process for colleges was very overwhelming for me, but with Mariana’s help it reduced so much of my stress. She was very patient with me and made me feel at ease. When I got my acceptance letter she was the very first person I let know! Mariana is a lifesaver in so many ways!!

I came across Gaurav when an alumni referred him during my MBA. He was instrumental in my successful entry into BCG. He is much more than a case coach; he’s a strategic career partner. During my MBA I was struggling with case interviews and was constantly facing rejections in case interviews, so I reached out to Gaurav while interviewing with another consulting firm. The first thing we focused on was to meticulously assess my weaknesses before each recruiting round. Our process was objective-focused and highly tailored. For every interview, we discussed specific strategies based on the interviewer’s background. This customized approach made a massive difference in my preparation for both Kearney and BCG. His support continued even after I accepted the offer. Knowing consulting is cutthroat, he provided essential preparation for the job itself. I recently completed six months and can confidently say his pre-job coaching significantly boosted my readiness. The value he provides extends far beyond just securing the offer. I highly recommend him to anyone serious about starting a successful career in top-tier consulting.

Parina is super knowledgeable about S&O recruitment process and the kind of answer firms are looking for in this role

Gaurav’s coaching truly makes a difference. He brings deep knowledge across every aspect a candidate needs to succeed in the consulting recruiting process. What sets Gaurav apart is his personalized approach — he follows up consistently, adapts to your specific needs, and ensures you make tangible progress with each session. Beyond case interview preparation, Gaurav focuses on helping you build the mindset and skills for a successful career in consulting. Having joined the same firm where he once worked, I can clearly see the value of his guidance reflected in my day-to-day work. In summary, Gaurav is one of the most dedicated, experienced, and effective coaches you can find. Working with him is a truly valuable opportunity for anyone aiming to break into consulting.

I met Ibrahim through the VC world, and we clicked pretty quickly because we both came into the industry in non-traditional ways. I’ve always had a lot of different career interests, sometimes to the point where it wasn’t clear what I actually enjoyed versus what just sounded good on paper. Working with him helped me sort that out. He has a real ability to listen, push you to articulate what you actually want, and challenge you when your thinking is vague or inconsistent. What stands out most is that he doesn’t just talk. He actively helps. He connects you with people in his network, shows you concrete ways to get involved in the spaces you care about, and gives you clear next steps instead of broad motivational advice. That combination of insight and action made a real difference for me. If you’re looking for someone who’s genuinely invested in your growth and not just repeating generic coaching lines, he’s the person I’d recommend.

Under Sameer's tutorship and guidance, i was able to achieve an overall GMAT score and a verbal reasoning score in the top 10 percentile, both far exceeding my expectations. Sameer is clearly well versed in the subject matter: he was able to tailor an effective prep strategy after getting a sense of my strengths and weaknesses in the first few sessions and provided invaluable test day advice. But it was the passion and patience with which Sameer approached each session that stood out for me. He never hesitated to spend extra time simplifying concepts that initially felt challenging. This genuinely conveyed his love for teaching and his personal investment in my success - a big confidence builder! As someone with a long-standing dislike for standardised tests, I can confidently say that without Sameer’s tutorship, I would have struggled even to stay consistent in my preparation, let alone achieve a competitive score. Prospective students will benefit greatly from his subject matter expertise and his advice on test related struggles beyond the curriculum.
