Strategic Insight Session

Our Strategic Insight Session is a two-part consultation designed to give families clarity and direction as they begin exploring UK and US university options.

Delivered across two personalised 90-minute sessions, this offering is ideal for families who are not yet ready to commit to full-cycle admissions support but want to understand their child’s best-fit pathways and make informed next steps.

With over a decade of experience in education and a strong understanding of both systems- particularly for East Asian students- we’ll explore your child’s unique profile, ambitions, and academic background, while providing clear, practical guidance tailored to your family's goals.

You’ll also receive a written summary after the sessions, outlining our key insights and suggested next steps.
