Stephen is an incredible teacher! He helped introduce me to consulting spending many hours giving one on one guidance. He led my team on one of my first consulting projects and was an excellent leader but he was also not afraid to jump into the work himself.

Ryan is incredibly knowledgeable about investments and was a great mentor to me at Berkeley, especially in financial economics. He genuinely cared about students, always engaging with us and making complex topics easier to grasp. Beyond the classroom, he was generous with career advice and always willing to help. His mentorship and support meant a lot to me.

I have worked with Ishu as he has supported and nurtured over 10 people so far to get into universities of their choice. He has a very detailed and personalised approach - helping one find the right course/school, supporting them in drafting their personal narratives and refining their writing styles. Given the depth of his network across fields, he's well versed with application processes of various universities, along with a knowledge of profiles that different universities like to build and support. Ishu will nudge you be to reflective, critical and vulnerable, helping you bring out the truest version of yourself in applications, and maximising your chances of getting into a college that aligns with your purpose and goals.

David is an incredible coach who asks the right questions early on. He helped me reflect on how to position myself for success during VC interviews & which aspects of my experience to highlight. He's a gifted advocate who takes time to educate you on how hiring managers think. Definitely an asset, especially for folks looking to break into tech of VC.

Stephen is the number one reason I landed an internship and job at Bain. He helped me practice cases and prepare for interviews. I did practice cases and preparation with several coaches, but Stephen was by far the most helpful. He was able to thoroughly analyze my performance and highlight specific areas for improvement while also providing specific advice, strategies, and help to be able to consistently implement the improvements. He was direct and firm, but also caring and compassionate. Stephen is the best consulting prep coach I’ve ever seen.
