Founder's note

This company exists to provide honest and impactful support for students and professionals to reach their academic goals and unlock their full career potential. That was the starting point that enabled the subsequent journey.

 

The first course we taught was at the St Gallen MBA. Our students gave the course rave reviews. Other schools took note and soon I was on tour all over Europe. Then the test makers contacted me and now we collaborate.  GMAC (GMAT owner) uses my app. ETS (GRE and SAT owner) sources my students as success cases.  I am also a collaborator with Duolingo on their DET program. The test makers realize that I am close to the source.

 

The best part of the job is the success of my clients. They are in ALL the top-ranked programs. Many of them volunteer to be contact points to new students, so applicants can get the real student experience.

 

Many clients have turned into friends, and include: circus performers, professional athletes, medical doctors, refugees, entrepreneurs, international aid workers, architects, bankers, mechanics, photographers, musicians, hotel managers, jewelry makers, and too many more to mention. And they are all united by the same belief "I can achieve even more in my career and education."

 

Join us as our next success story.

“I am not a native speaker and not the greatest student ever. I really had to get a high score to overcome my lackluster student performance. Nicholas pushed me through on quant, which I started to enjoy (for the first time in my life). I scored in the top 93rd percentile, which means anyone else can too with the right approach. School choice: INSEAD.

Marina, GMAT 700

I am the first to admit that I underestimated GMAT. It is a challenging exam. I have advanced science degrees and expected it to be a formality. The first time I took it without much preparation and I messed up the timing. Luckily I reached out for help and I am happy that I did. It made my Stanford MBA dream possible!"

Ron, GMAT 740

As a German consultant working in Zurich, I had to distinguish myself from my peer-group. Most of fellow analysts apply for top MBAs, so were are over-represented at the top schools. I took GMAT seriously and ended up with a 740.  I also got help creating a visionary application storyline to grab the attention of the adcom– and to differentiate myself from other applicants with similar consulting backgrounds."
