Today’s college admissions process can feel overwhelming. It’s far more complex and competitive than it used to be. Strong grades and test scores are only part of the picture—universities want students who have explored their passions, grown through their experiences, and can share a clear, genuine story of who they are.

With expert guidance and a structured, encouraging process, Joanna helps reduce the stress for both students and parents—making the journey more focused, confident, and purposeful.

If you’re looking for clarity, direction, and a strategy tailored to your child, a college admissions consultant can make all the difference.

School counsellors play an essential role in supporting students but they often have limited time to work in-depth, one-on-one, with every individual. A private consultant provides focused attention that can truly elevate an application. 

Joanna works closely with each student, guiding them through every step of the process with care and detail. She helps them uncover meaningful experiences, connect their story, and present their strengths and growth authentically. Always approachable and responsive, Joanna is there to answer questions, offer reassurance, and keep students on track.

It’s never too early—and never too late—to begin the college admissions journey. The process is about more than just filling forms and writing essays; it’s about understanding strengths and weaknesses, exploring interests, developing passions, and building self-awareness. These are experiences that take time to grow and are invaluable at any stage.

Ideally, starting early allows for more reflection, planning, and development, but Joanna will always meet you where you are. Whether you’re beginning years in advance or just months before deadlines, she’ll create a focused, realistic plan tailored to your timeline and goals.

Students work exclusively with Joanna, who takes on only a handful each year to ensure every student receives her full attention and in-depth guidance. Unlike larger consulting firms, this is a truly individualized personalized experience built on trust, reflection, and genuine connection—very different from the “factory-style” approach of large consulting firms.

Joanna takes the time to understand each student’s interests, fears, and goals, helping them craft an application that goes beyond grades and scores to reveal who they are. When admissions officers can clearly picture a student contributing to campus life, the chances of a “yes” rise significantly.

Most certainly! Admissions consulting lends itself to "remote" work, and Joanna works with students around the world via zoom, whatsapp and email. She also works in person with students in Singapore.

Absolutely. Many students face unique circumstances during their educational journey—whether it’s an illness, a suspension, multiple school changes, or learning challenges. These experiences don’t define you, but they’re part of your story.

Joanna works sensitively and strategically to help you frame these experiences in a way that highlights your resilience, maturity, and growth. Together, you’ll create an application that reflects not just what you’ve been through, but how you’ve emerged stronger and more self-aware.
