Exploring University and Course Options

Whether you are unsure about what or where you want to study or have a good idea but just want to firm up your options, I provide personalised guidance to help you choose the best fit for your academic and personal goals and interests

The UCAS Application

The UCAS application can be confusing and time-consuming. I can support you to navigate the entire process efficiently, ensuring your application stands out, meets all requirements, and is submitted on time.

Using my 3 Step Personal Statement Mastery Method™, I ensure your statement includes exactly what admissions staff seek, that you stand out from the crowd and beat the competition.
