As a certified Life Coach, I also pay special attention to the mental aspect of the application process.

It is no secret that students– especially in the year leading to the applications– are excessively busy and exposed to internal and external pressure to succeed, stress, fear of failure, overwhelm, and other psychological factors and distresses.

My job as your teacher and consultant is not only to guide you academically, but also to ease your anxiety and prepare you psychologically for the exam.

Anxiety can impact your performance at the actual exam, regardless of excellent practice. It is crucial to feel confident, in control, and calm about taking the exam and submitting your college applications.
