Our Work

We provide comprehensive, founder-led college admissions counseling. Every student works directly with André and Elisabeth—no junior counselors, no handoffs.

Our approach begins with understanding who the student actually is: their intellectual interests, personal circumstances, and genuine aspirations. We don't manufacture narratives or coach students to present false versions of themselves.

From school selection through final submission, we guide every element of the application: essays that reveal authentic voice, activity lists that demonstrate real engagement, and interview preparation that builds confidence without scripting.

Harvard ↗

"Andre given my son a very specific time and lesson plan before applying to college. Every step was very specific and detailed. Every time my son met with him, came away with a lot of inspiration, so that he quickly found the content of the essay he wants to write. Andre, with his patient guidance, inspired the child to do creative thinking to complete the activity that suits his tight schedule, also completed the IVY college requirements during the summer break. Andre has been reminding and caring about all details during the application process, let my kid get IVY college acceptance likely letter smoothly."

"Andre has the rare ability to take a piece of writing and elevate it with a few, simple changes, and he helped take my essays to the next level. In addition, Andre took the time to get to know me personally, which not only made my meetings with him more enjoyable, but also meant that he was better able to help me with my essays."

"Andre was by far one of the best teachers I've ever had in my life. From helping me prepare for the SAT to working with me through the college admissions process, he has helped me tremendously as a student. He doesn't merely teach you—he stays by your side like a mentor and friend, encouraging you whenever you need help. Andre is extremely proficient at reviewing and editing essays. He adds a unique view that helps to bring professionalism into my writing and broke down fundamental concepts which helped me become more efficient in general."
