Leland coaches are changing lives every day.
"Ashley is awesome. She is thoughtful, insightful, and made a real effort to be supportive / helpful both in preparing me for my interview and in making sure I was confident. It would be easy to tell me where I could improve alone, but Ashley stepped back and made sure I also got some affirmation of my strengths and helped me contextualize my interview within my broader application. I would recommend her to all applicants and especially to those interested in the GSB. I got accepted to the GSB and HBS and I credit Ashley with helping me feel confident, grounded, and strategic as I entered those interviews. Thank you, Ashley!"
"Junius was a phenomenal mentor when it came to developing my casing toolkit. His ability to quickly reckognize one's areas for development--whether it be driving interviewee led cases, structuring a MECE approach, summarizing exhibits, or simply asking the right questions in a way that engages the interviewer as a thought partner--made me the well rounded caser I am today. As a result of this, I secured a full-time MBB offer during my senior year of college. I highly recommend Junius to those new to casing or veterans looking for a tune up."
"I am truly grateful for the invaluable assistance provided by Charles throughout my college admission process. Before Charles began helping me, I felt overwhelmed and lost in the complex college application journey. However, he offered structured guidance at every step of the way, which greatly boosted my confidence and sense of control. He encouraged me to engage in deep self-reflection, helping me craft essays that were deep and personal. Charles provided me with highly personalized feedback, clearly investing substantial time and effort into reviewing my essays and application materials. I wholeheartedly recommend Charles' services. Thanks to his support, I received offers from institutions like UChicago, Columbia, UPenn, Cornell, and others."
"I will forever be grateful to Ncedile for encouraging me to apply for an EFL teaching job in Taiwan. Even though sometimes I didn’t respond to the job advertisements she would send me, she never gave up. She was very consistent and always encouraged me until I gave in. I love her spirit. Keep it up! 👏"
"I reached out to Mattia because of his professional background in both large financial institutions and top consulting firms. I was interviewing for a strategy role at tier 1 investment banks, and Mattia was able to utilize his professional background and knowledge to help me with motivational questions, fit interviews, company-specific knowledge, and technical areas that were tested in my interviews. It turned out that all the questions I was asked in the interviews had been prepared for, and I was able to navigate through the interviews very smoothly and received an offer from my top choice. Thanks, Mattia!"
"I highly recommend working with Mattijs. I had previously only cased with classmates and the feedback that I received from Mattijs was far more detailed, nuanced, and pointed than anything else I've received. He walked me through each step of the case interview and gave me actionable recommendations on how to sharpen each area. These coaching sessions were incredibly valuable."
"Choosing Ria as my admissions consultant was one of the best decisions I made during my MBA application process. Their deep understanding of what each school looks for in candidates made all the difference. They went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my application was polished to perfection. With Ria's support, I gained admission to my dream school - HBS."
"Tom was amazing. I LOVED working with her and it is thanks to her that I was admitted to HKS on a full scholarship."
"Yulia was a great help while I worked on my Stanford application. She shared important insights and offered effective guidance, which helped me strengthen my application, all in a pleasant and intelligent manner."
"I met Jooho during my college years when I was trying to find a software engineering role in major tech companies. He mentored me though out my interview process and taught me how to tackle the technical interviews. Eventually, I was able to land a full time offer at Meta."
"I worked with Prabha to put the "finishing touches" on my product management interview preparation. Prior to meeting with Prabha, I had completed over 70 mock interviews, but was looking to get that extra edge. Prior to interviewing with Microsoft, Meta, and JP Morgan (I had all of these interviews in one week), I felt prepared, but I knew there were little ways I could improve my skills and become a standout. I booked my first 3 interviews with Prabha to focus on interviewing at Meta for the RPM program, but her expertise seamlessly translated to my interviews with Microsoft and JP Morgan. After I received offers from Microsoft and JP Morgan, as well as an invitation for the final round for Meta's RPM program, I decided to go for it and get a little more coaching with Prabha. I firmly believe working with Prabha gave me the edge I needed to secure an offer for the RPM program. While I did a lot of work before getting her coaching, Prabha is clearly an expert at all levels of Product Management mock interviewing"
"I found working with David to be a dream! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the entire gamut of management consulting recruiting at MBA programs. Through several sessions with David, I gained REALLY TACTICAL insights into how to approach: (1) networking; (2) developing generalizable approaches to structuring and exhibit clearing; (3) improving overall succinctness during the case interview. I cannot recommend David enough: he was an absolute joy to work with, and will be an indispensable partner for all those that were as nervous/anxious about the recruiting process as I was. Thank you David!!!!"
"David is a thoughtful and experienced coach. I've had him help me prepare for corporate interview processes. Each time I've done so, he's given me very helpful and direct feedback, while giving me the space to ensure I'm improving through practice interviews."
"I've worked with Nina for about two months on PM prep, and I found that her interviews were harder than the actual interviews I had with top tech companies like Databricks, Atlassian, and others. She gives extremely actionable feedback, asks excellent follow-up questions, and prepares you well for any PM interview that comes your way. I highly recommend Nina to anyone looking to break into Product Management."
"Nick's help was incredibly valuable in preparing for the private equity recruiting process. He helped me narrow down my focus so that I spent time reviewing the most critical topics given limited time and gave valuable feedback throughout. Nick's mentorship helped me secure an offer at a megafund during the on-cycle process."
"Great coach! Kevin provided me with good feedback that helped me get better and, ultimately, secure the job I wanted."
"Deborah is so kind and patient. I was really impressed with her knowledge. She was incredibly helpful and has real world experience that makes her advice and guidance so relevant. I definitely wouldn’t not have had as much success with my application cycle without her help."
"Chas is an exceptionally effective coach, and that even feels like an understatement. The MBA process is a rollercoaster, but Chas' approach, templates, examples, and guidance made it all so much more manageable. He is incredibly insightful and did a phenomenal job distilling down vast amounts of information and helping me tell my story in a unique way that felt true to me. He went above and beyond our entire time working together, making himself available for even the littlest of questions, providing unwavering support as we worked through countless essay drafts, and encouraging me throughout. Chas is a game changer in the MBA process. He elevated my application and essays way beyond what I could have imagined, and I couldn't have done it without him."
"Max was incredibly helpful throughout my MBA application process and played a key role in application strategy, resume and essay review, and interview prep that ultimately allowed me achieve my goals. I highly recommend working with Max."
"Gives great advice on how to fine polish your writing without being harsh. If there is something missing in your writing, she will find it and give you ideas as to incorporate it."
"Saleem was instrumental in helping me become a better caser. With my STEM background, he effectively guided me in boosting my business acumen, which eventually led to an offer from an MBB firm. His feedback is always insightful and varied, making every session valuable and impactful."
"I owe a huge thanks to Matthias for landing offers from both BCG and McKinsey! He's an incredible coach - friendly, knowledgeable, and always there when you need him. His advice is always spot-on and invaluable, tailored to what really works in the MBB world. What really sets Matthias apart is how much he cares about you and your success. He's more than a coach; he's a mentor who invests in you, making sure his guidance aligns with your goals. He invested a lot of energy into helping me as from the moment we got in contact until the last moments of the processes, helping me gain confidence, support and skills. I couldn't recommend anyone else than him to help you break into consulting !!"
"Hanie is a remarkable mentor who helped me navigate my career choices with practical advice and unwavering support. Her resilience and strong work ethic are evident in her dedication to helping others succeed. Hanie’s ability to inspire and motivate is truly impressive; she shares her experiences and insights, making complex decisions easier to understand. I’m grateful for her guidance and support in helping me weigh my career options. I highly recommend Hanie as a mentor!"
"ZeeShawn was the perfect ACT tutor for my son. He quickly drilled down into what was holding him back from higher scores, and targeted those areas. He also did so in a very encouraging and supportive. We are so happy with the tutoring and with the outcome!"
"Neha works very hard and is an extremely helpful person. She helped me with my resume and helped me secure an internship at a YC-Startup in New York. Super smart and knows her stuff and would recommend her to anyone. I still reach out to her for resume help and advice for this internship/job cycle."
"The mba process is overwhelming (to say the least). I was recommended to Pallavi by a colleague (and I could immediately see why) . Pallavi helped fully navigate me; she challenged me with questions and constructive criticism to guide my self-reflection. She helped me through writers block, sprouts of imposter syndrome (she has immensely boosted my confidence, and helped me reach beyond my self imposed limitations). Pallavi is a gem, I can't thank her enough"
"Dione is the best admissions consultant I could have ever asked for. To give context, I applied as a deferred admit to the Stanford GSB. I had worked with other GSB admits to brainstorm and draft my essays. I specifically looked for a professional coach with high reviews, strong writing experience, and affiliation with the GSB. Dione excelled in all these areas. I started working with her after deciding on schools and writing my essays, hoping to refine my application and ensure it showcased my best self. Although I was skeptical since I'd never worked with a professional admissions consultant before, Dione exceeded all expectations in terms of professionalism and the value she provided. Dione's guidance was incredibly specific, thorough, and actionable. She provided detailed feedback on my essays, highlighting areas for improvement that I hadn't considered, and offered strategic advice on how to present my experiences and goals in the most compelling way – particularly for my "Why Stanford?" essay. Despite my subpar GMAT and GRE scores, she helped me highlight my strengths through my essays and craft an optional statement to address my lower scores. When I landed the interview, Dione's coaching and preparation strategies were top-notch, giving me the confidence to excel. I cannot recommend Dione enough – from my essays to my interview preparation, and instilling confidence in me throughout the process, I would not be attending the GSB without her!"
"David has been a mentor and coach throughout many phases of my career: investment banking, PE/VC, and business school. He was instrumental in helping me land a spot at the GSB. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a stellar coach who can offer tactical advice and motivate you to reach for more. Anyone would be lucky to work with him!"
"During my application for the Schwarzman Scholars program, Michael's feedback was really critical in making my short essays stood out, which ultimately helped me landed the fully funded scholarship. Following my conversations with him, he guided me to identify my unique personal story, link my experiences to impact, and make use of each element of my application to connect to the core visions of the program. I would not have truly considered applying to the program without his encouraging words. Not only does he have a strategic mindset, but he also made me believe in my success."
"Isabelle gave me invaluable guidance on my MBA application essays and interviews, and I ended up being accepted into HBS's 2+2 deferral program. She was a terrific coach and mentor who is not only brilliant but deeply kind and gracious to mentor/coach others."
"Aisha is the best career coach I have ever had. She is extremely detailed and empathetic, making sure I am listened to. Her deep expertise in tech policy and the tech hiring process was very helpful when I was laid off and did not know what to do as next steps. She helped me get several interviews and a job offer for my dream role! I highly recommend Aisha and can't wait for her to help others through Leland."
"Had a great mock interview with Tim! He's patient, knowledgeable, and highly attentive - received some really insightful feedback on how to improve my answers / prep going forward."
"Michael has been an invaluable help in my casing practice as he gave me many great insights on how consultants would tackle a case which in turn helped me sharpen my consulting lingo. I would highly recommend any medium or advanced level caser to seek Michael's help in refining your case framework, brainstorming structure and communication abilities. With his help, I managed to clinch an offer from MBB! Thank you!"
"Sohrab’s strength as a mentor lies in his ability to truly listen and reflect deeply on his own experiences. He draws meaningful insights from his journey, which he shares to guide others in their decision-making. His analytical skills allow him to simplify complex challenges, breaking them down into manageable steps. With his broad cross-functional expertise and thoughtful approach, Sohrab is able to offer clear guidance and structured support, making him an invaluable mentor to those seeking both wisdom and practical advice."
"Chip elevated my consulting preparation from solid to elite. Thanks to his commitment, I felt confident going into my case interviews. Chip goes beyond the role of coach and feels like a trusted mentor and friend. I cannot recommend him enough for anyone looking for a top-tier coach. I was able to land my dream job with his guidance. Cannot wait to have him help me prep for MBA applications in a few years."
"Remy was an incredible coach and mentor throughout the recruiting process for my consulting dream job. Her insight into the consulting world, tips for case interviews and overall support were critical factors in my success. She leverages her extensive interviewing experience from Bain to help coachees navigate MBB applications and ready themselves for rigorous interviewing. Remy was a big part of why I received (and ultimately accepted) my offer. She is an incredible asset to anyone embarking on this process."
"Andy really changed my narrative. Thanks to him, I got into my dream school for Deferred MBA, Stanford Graduate School of Business. I could not have done without him and am forever grateful for his dedication and support throughout the process. One unique aspect of his coaching is that there is no set "end time" to our calls - he really cares about spending every minute clearing doubts and helping produce the best outcome possible. Got accepted also to Wharton, MIT, and Columbia. Thank you Andy."
"Chris has been invaluable in helping me get my current position in a Strategy and Operations role at a tech company. He not only assisted me in tailoring my resume to highlight key skills that would set me apart from other candidates, he also provided comprehensive interview preparation. His interview preparation techniques allowed me to feel confident and well-prepared for my behavioral and technical interviews. His experience in both consulting and S&O allowed him to tailor practice cases to the specific roles I targeted, offering real-world insights based on his firsthand experiences in similar situations. Beyond resume and interview preparation, Chris’s insights helped me build foundational strategy and business operations knowledge that I still reference in my daily work. Chris also introduced me to various functions within tech companies, and helped me build the skills I needed to be a strong candidate for an internal transfer a from a Business Analytics to a Strategy and Operations role. Chris has shown a genuine interest in my professional growth."
"As a Columbia PhD student in electrical engineering, I knew consulting interviews would be a challenge outside my usual expertise. Zoe’s coaching made all the difference. She tailored her feedback to my unique background, helping me bridge the gap between engineering and business problem-solving. Her structured approach and clear, actionable advice significantly improved my case skills and boosted my confidence."
"I can’t say enough about how AMAZINGLY AWESOME Cynthia is!!! She is a strategic thinker who can help your law school application stand out from the competition. Cynthia made me feel like she was by my side the entire time I was applying to schools, even though I was thousands of miles away from her."
"I met Tennessee at a panel discussion at Imperial College, and she instantly impressed me with her knowledge, charisma, and professionalism. She kindly agreed to coach me for a Google internship, offering valuable resources, connecting me with the right people, and sharing her own tips, tricks, sample questions, and exercises, while also boosting my confidence. Frankly, I wouldn't have made it without her help and coaching! She's a shining star in her field."
"Truly a coach who is dedicated to seeing you succeed. I’ve worked with Nina for over a year and she has been a tremendous help to me as a mentor/coach. I was always a bit worried or fearful about pursuing certain positions/opportunities but Nina made sure that I applied. Not only this but she also gave me the support and resources to actually succeed in recruiting processes as well as the role itself. To this day Nina is still offering advice and making sure I am always improving. With Nina, you can work towards your goal knowing you have her consistent support."
"With your help, my LinkedIn profile became a powerful tool in attracting recruiters, and I quickly received multiple offers. I’m thrilled to share that I’ve accepted a new position at Amazon with a significant salary increase. Your coaching gave me the confidence I needed to make the right decision for my career."
"Mattijs gave me excellent feedback during mock-up case interviews! He is very supportive and knowledgeable. With his help and coaching, I received offers from Bain&Company and OC&C."
"Spencer gave me the feedback I truly needed to learn and grow. Additionally, Spencer's support is beyond measure; he went the extra mile to help guide and support me at every step of the journey. Highly recommend!"
"Courtney was so helpful in my transition from performance marketing to product marketing. She helped me understand the core skills a PMM needs, pointed out what I could transfer from my past experience, and highlighted the gaps I needed to address. She also gave me clear advice on how to adjust my resume to better fit PMM roles. Given how complex and varied product marketing is, it was really helpful to have someone like her, with experience at both big and small companies, guide me through the process."
"I was lucky enough to work with Andrew when I was earlier on in my sales career. He offered me a kind of mentorship that I have not experience before. He dispensed the lived lessons of a true of master of his craft, took a custom approach to helping reach my goals, always reminded me of my potential and made me feel like I had a friend in my corner. Anyone would be grateful to work with him!"
"Farid personally helped me develop my skills as an engineer and coached me in applying and interviewing for positions that I had previously thought were out of my reach. My skills and confidence have improved tremendously and I am very happy with the outcome of my career so far."
"JooHo's mentorship has been pivotal in helping me successfully navigate interviews at some of the most selective technology and finance companies. His personalized coaching for both behavioral and technical interviews provided me with invaluable, actionable feedback rooted in his own extensive experience. Thanks to JooHo's guidance, I was able to secure offers from Google, Meta, and Blackstone—each of which he meticulously helped me prepare for. His insight, support, and commitment to my success made a profound impact on my career journey."
"I started working with Bruce a couple months ago to prepare to take the GRE for the first time. With my background, I knew that the main challenge would be the quant sections. I hadn't taken a math class since my junior year of high school back in 2010. I scored a 148 on the quant in my first diagnostic practice test. After working with Bruce over the last several months, my practice test scores steadily improved, and on my second official attempt, I scored a 160 on the quant and a 167 on the verbal. That's good enough for me! I can't recommend Bruce enough. He provided the structure, the material, and the support that I needed to improve my scores dramatically. On top of that, he's just a very pleasant person to interact with. 10/10. 5 stars."
"Anshul is the best consultant I have worked with and mentor I have had in my career. He is an excellent leader, people developer, advocate and teammate and highly respected and valued at Accenture. Through his extremely detailed and helpful coaching, I was accepted into UVA Darden's MBA program. I am confident he will be an excellent coach for anyone he works with."
"Working with Ria was an absolute game-changer for my MBA application journey. Her insight into the nuances of each school's admissions process was unparalleled. With her guidance, I felt confident in presenting my story in the most compelling light. I owe my acceptance GSB to Ria's dedication and expertise!"
"I asked Siri to help me with my residency applications this summer. I knew I was a strong applicant based on my awards, research experiences, and recommendations but I struggled to put those accomplishments into words and really build a case to admissions on why I should be admitted. Siri was very honest about what I was doing well and what I was not doing well. She reviewed every personal statement, short answer response, and resume item word by word to help my writing be more specific yet concise. Even though she isn’t in the medical field, it was helpful to have her review my application because she had a fresh perspective on my work, which helped me better communicate my accomplishments to admissions who aren’t familiar with my work. When I compare my application before and after her help, I can see a clear difference in how she brought my work to life."
