Marina was super helpful when I was looking for a university in America. She was realistic throughout the entire process, and her team had me well prepared for every part of the application. I recently graduated and had an amazing experience in Boston. Thank you, Marina!

Floris Dobber, NorthEastern University, USA (student)

Marina helped us wonderfully in choosing a good way to spend our daughter’s gap year after her HAVO exams. She suggested many different possibilities. In the end, our daughter chose a high school in Victoria, Vancouver Island in Canada. After making the choice, Marina supported us throughout the application and preparation process. In the fall, she helped us communicate with the school’s International Office when a change of host family turned out to be necessary. In short, Marina takes her role seriously throughout the entire process. She really took the burden off our shoulders.

Maxime Bezemer, Claremont Secondary School, Canada(parent)

Marina provided an extraordinary level of guidance and support that was both impactful and formative. She enabled me to reach my personal goal of enrolling in a college from my list by creating an elaborate plan with clear, actionable steps. I am extremely thankful for the mentorship, and without it, I would not have been where I am today.

Arturo Rodrigues – The Hun School of Princeton & UCLA, USA (student)

Marina is a very experienced education specialist and consultant for study abroad opportunities. Marina and her team advised us and supported my daughter at every step of the process. Very factual, supportive and personal, Marina is extremely reactive and knowledgable . I strongly recommend Marina and her company for any one planning to study abroad. My daughter was accepted in the honours’ program of Toronto University and at McGill.

Marina and Amy excel not only in their extensive knowledge and excellent connections, but also in providing quick solutions when needed. On top of that, they always go the extra mile, helping your child get the most out of themselves. Nynke is about to start her adventure in Canada with full confidence.
