Keep what you learn
Record a book, a project or an experience while the details are still fresh.

You do not need a finished plan to begin. Start with a subject, a question or something you enjoyed making. We help you explore it, make informed university choices and build an application around what you actually care about.
Your free Studio keeps your learning, plans and application work together. When you need another perspective, our services add personal advice and feedback.
Student Studio
The article you kept thinking about. A problem you tried to solve. What you learned when something went wrong. Save these now, so you have something real to work with when it is time to write.
Every Studio tool is free. Our paid services add personal advice, meetings and feedback on your work.

For a single essay, CV or other focused task, you can choose the relevant service directly.

Meet Your Adviser
I transferred from the University of Manchester to Cornell University, where I graduated in Materials Science and Engineering. I’m now pursuing the MPhil in Industrial Systems, Manufacture and Management (ISMM) at the University of Cambridge.
I work directly with students on their interests, university choices and application writing. We ask useful questions and turn feedback into clear next steps.
Your ideas and writing remain yours. My role is to help you explain what you have done, what you learned and why it matters to you.
Read My StoryYou might need a second pair of eyes on an essay, help deciding where to apply or a plan for the whole application cycle. We’ll start with the question you need answered and choose a level of support that suits your stage and deadlines.
