What we do
Bespoke coaching and mentoring for international students in the UK.
Lacking mentors and prior knowledge, many international students of colour struggle academically and socially. What should be an exciting adventure turns into uncertainty, self-doubt and disengagement.
Does that sound like you or someone you know?
As former international students, we are aware of the anxieties that international students face and have designed our interventions around specific paint points.
Our mentors and coaches have experienced similar challenges and graduated with flying colours. On our mentoring and coaching programs, you will acquire essential strategies to help you hit the ground running and achieve your desired goals.
