Which service should I start with?

If you are unsure, book the 30-minute First Steps Call. We will look at where you are and recommend the right next step.

Will you write my essay or statement of purpose?

No. We give detailed feedback and help you shape your story, but the writing stays yours. Admissions and scholarship panels look for your voice.

Do you guarantee admission or a scholarship?

No one honestly can. We help you put forward the strongest possible application and avoid the common mistakes.

How does the CV review work?

Pay for the review, upload your documents, and receive structured written feedback within 3–5 business days.

How do I pay?

For calls, you pick your time and pay by card on the same booking page. Other services have their own secure checkout. Prices are in US dollars. If your naira card is declined, try a dollar card, as some Nigerian banks limit dollar spending.

How do I join my session?

Sessions take place on Cal Video. Click the link in your confirmation email to join from your phone or laptop. No app or account needed.

Can I reschedule?

Yes. Use the Reschedule link in your confirmation email to pick a new time.

Cancel at least 2 business days before your session for a full refund. Late cancellations and missed sessions are not refunded. Document reviews and application support are non-refundable once we have started work. Read the full policy.
