“Dmitri helped me learn how to write my application with clarity and purpose. His input on the essays was incredible - he challenged to go deeper and express myself authentically while keeping the big picture in mind. With his help, I was accepted to St. Paul’s!”

“Looking back, I can truly say that bringing Dmitri in as my consultant was one of the best decisions I made during boarding school apps. His support with standardized testing and his blunt, point-by-point critique of my essays was invaluable. I felt I had clear guidance every step of the way, and I was accepted into a great institution. Extremely grateful for all his advice!”
