U.S. University Admissions Mentoring – Calm, Personal One-to-One Guidance

[USUniversityMentor]

Hello everyone,

I work one-to-one with UK students applying to U.S. universities and support a small number of families each year in the Dulwich area and beyond. I’ve helped students navigate successful applications to both Ivy League universities and top U.S. liberal arts colleges. I support students with everything from building a university list and planning extracurriculars to crafting strong, personal essays—which are very different from the UK’s personal statement. I pay particular attention to helping students find the universities where they’ll thrive—not just the most recognisable names.

The U.S. application process is also very different from UCAS—more holistic, more narrative-driven, and it starts earlier than many families expect. I’ve worked with students from independent schools applying to both U.S. and UK universities, and while I focus solely on the U.S. side, I help structure timelines that fit around GCSEs, A Levels, and UCAS so everything feels manageable.

Ideally, students begin the U.S. process before their final year—especially if applying Early Decision—but if you're aiming for 2026-2027 entry, there’s still time to create a thoughtful, well-paced plan by starting this summer.

I offer a free 20-minute consultation for any families who are curious.

Feel free to DM me if you’d like to chat. 😀
