ABOUT
We are a mother-daughter team that has been working together for the past eight years. Our careers as independent educational consultants developed through an understanding that every student has varying interests, talents and specific ways of learning and, therefore, different academic trajectories. Together we take immense pride in helping students seek suitable and enriching academic paths in an atmosphere that is professional and nurturing.
