Step-by-Step Guidance

From your first conversation to your final application submission, I provide clear, personalised guidance at every stage of your study-abroad journey.

The process is designed to bring structure and clarity to what can otherwise feel complex, allowing decisions to be made thoughtfully, realistically, and with confidence.

While each student’s timeline differs, most collaborations span several months to allow for thoughtful planning and adequate preparation.

  • An initial free and non-binding conversation to understand goals, academic background, preferred destinations, budget, and motivation.

    This first step ensures that any guidance provided is grounded in a clear understanding of the student’s profile and aspirations. A thoughtful process begins with listening, not assumptions.

  • A curated shortlist of suitable programmes, developed together with the student and grouped as reach, target, and safe options, with clear entry requirements and next steps.

    This structured approach brings clarity to what can otherwise feel like an overwhelming number of options. By balancing ambition with realism, decisions are made with both confidence and perspective.

  • A realistic, month-by-month roadmap covering deadlines, tasks, and test preparation, tailored to the student’s profile.

    Long-term goals require structured planning. A clear timeline reduces uncertainty, avoids last-minute pressure, and ensures that each stage of preparation is approached calmly and strategically.

  • Ongoing conversations to track progress, answer questions, adjust the plan when needed, and keep everything on schedule.

    Consistent check-ins provide accountability and flexibility. They allow space for questions, refinements, and reassurance, ensuring the process remains aligned and steady.

  • Guidance and review throughout the application process, including CVs, motivation letters, documents, and final submission.

    Applications are not only about meeting requirements, but about presenting a coherent and authentic profile. Careful review ensures that the student’s strengths and motivations are communicated clearly and effectively.

The process is collaborative and transparent at every stage. Families are kept informed, expectations are discussed openly, and decisions are approached with care.

The goal is not simply university admission, but a well-considered path that truly suits the student.

If this approach resonates with you, scheduling a free consultation is the next step.


“I had an excellent experience working with Simona. She supported me professionally throughout my university application process, helping me complete the required documentation and manage the relevant deadlines.

She also guided me in finding a teacher qualified in English language certifications, with whom I prepared for the IELTS exam and achieved the level required for my degree programme.

Throughout the process, I truly appreciated Simona’s commitment and dedication. She approached my journey as if it were her own, showing genuine care and involvement. Simona was also extremely helpful in navigating the online platforms, which are often not very intuitive.

All of this made my path much simpler, and for this reason I would highly recommend her.”
