John was able to give guidance to craft the perfect college essay, and he was a very big reason I got into my dream school! I am still amazed at how laser-like focused our brainstorming sessions were as we strategized the best story for each college essay question. The college process can seem very confusing, and I don't know what I would've done without John. Thank you, John!

John is the best college counselor you can find. He is a Harvard graduate himself. Not only does he know the college admission process well and stays on top of your child’s application progress, but he also has an amazing work ethic. He met with my son to give guidance on his essays, late at night when he was on vacation, to ensure that my son’s application progress is not impacted. As a result, my son got into one of the most prestigious universities (HYPSM) EA. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking a college counselor who is not only knowledgeable but also cares about your child.

I had an amazing time working with John Gardezi throughout my college admissions process and was accepted into my dream school. He is incredibly knowledgeable on what admissions officers are looking for and his expertise is reflected in the suggestions and guidance he provides. John has very fast response times, flexible with scheduling, and is incredibly attentive with his work. If I had to redo my entire college admissions process there is no one else I’d rather choose to work with than John.

John was an amazing person to work with. He gave me meaningful support all throughout my application process and gave me the necessary tools to succeed. I was struggling to write my essays and find information about each university and he never failed to help me. What I admired the most about John is his professionalism and businesslike approach to get everything done in the best and most efficient way.

Jin was an incredible coach. I scheduled a session with her to review my MBA essays and resume, and she did a wonderful job identifying areas that needed improvement. She is genuinely passionate about supporting the growth and success of others. She is smart, enthusiastic, and encouraging. If you are looking for someone to review your MBA materials, look no further than Jin!
