FOUNDER & CEO

Victor

Victor was the only New Zealander to go to Princeton University in 2009 on a full scholarship. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and was ranked one of the top 20 students in the Economics department by the end of junior year. After receiving a range of scholarships such as the Chevening Scholarship, Cambridge MBA Scholarship and Cambridge Trust Scholarship, Victor studied a Master of Business Administration in Entrepreneurship at the University of Cambridge, where he was ranked top of his cohort in his concentration project.

To extend his expertise in education, he was then selected as a Frank Knox Memorial Fellow to study a Master of Education in Learning Design at Harvard University, where he obtained a perfect 4.0 GPA, ranking him top equal of his class. Victor, to the best of our knowledge, is the only person in history to have received both the Chevening Scholarship and the Frank Knox Memorial Fellowship, which are tuition and stipend scholarships for two of the most prestigious universities in the world. Victor also has a certificate for College Advising from the Teachers College at Columbia University.

Victor leads our team of experienced consultants from all over the world to help students achieve admission into their dream universities in the US, UK, Asia and Australasia. He is the most successful admissions consultant in the southern hemisphere with over 11 years of experience. In 2023, 100% of our students got into Oxbridge and the top 13 US universities. In 2024, 100% of our Australian students got into Oxbridge and the top 10 US universities.

HEAD OF CONSULTING

Nicole

Nicole graduated with First Class Honours in History and Politics from the University of Oxford. In making her university choices, she had a hard time deciding between Duke University in the United States and the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. Even though she was set on a liberal arts education in the United States, she ultimately chose Oxford for its tutorial system and close-knit college community.

Her own application journey taught her that a deep, holistic understanding of her own aspirations and a keen appreciation of what "college fit" meant were essential in defining her own success and happiness in the process. As such, she seeks to help students navigate their journeys toward finding their success and happiness at a college they would be proud of calling their own.

Nicole has mentored more than 200 students across Australia, New Zealand, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. Her students have won admission to selective US colleges such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Penn, Chicago, Caltech, Duke, Northwestern, Dartmouth, Cornell, and Georgetown. She has also supported students to win admissions at selective liberal arts colleges such as Williams, Amherst, Pomona, and Wellesley. Students who have applied to the UK have won admissions to Oxford and Cambridge for a variety of subjects, including Law, Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE), History and Politics, Natural Sciences, and Engineering.
