Working with Mr. Valrani was like learning how to ride a bicycle for the first time, he would give me the freedom to move forward, nudging and stabilizing me at just the right moments to ensure I achieved my goals and had a holistic learning experience along the way. He is a treasure trove of knowledge and insights into the university application process. He helped me see the bigger picture and encouraged me to be more ambitious in my university applications. His help with the essays allowed me to refine my ideas without taking away from the originality, and his motivation after early rejections helped me stay determined throughout the process. His extensive experience with talented students and his systematic approach to connecting ‘where I am’ to ‘where I want to be’ played a pivotal role in me getting into a great university.
