She not only helped our child secure top opportunities but also gave us invaluable peace of mind. My children all love meeting up with her (as do we!). Her guidance has been truly life-changing for our family. We can’t recommend her highly enough”

What Our Clients Say

My only regret was not having met Belinda earlier as I’m convinced we would have avoided a lot of stress (and heartache!). I can recommend her services wholeheartedly. Belinda knows the market incredibly well and combines her expertise with a personal focus on how to help your child best.

Rugby school parent

Belinda played a crucial role in my acceptance to LSE, guiding me through the personal statement process with to-the-point, insightful, and expert advice. I am now continuing to work with her on my investment banking job applications and highly recommend her to anyone.

LSE student

There’s no way I would’ve secured the BP Trading graduate scheme without Belinda’s support. Her advice on CV, interview prep, and assessment centres was invaluable. I walked into the process feeling confident and stood out because of it.

BP graduate scheme student

I will never forget your kindness, patience and pure determination with our son. You will forever be a very special part of his future (And saved me from having a nervous breakdown!!). I am so very, very grateful.
