We have known David Hawkins, Founder and CEO of The University Guys, for many years since he was a history teacher and Careers Counsellor at one of our boarding schools. He now offers excellent advice and support in applications for British, Canadian, European and US universities.
Ephero-Institut
This offer concerns students who are about to finish school or might have come through already. To them, the Ephero Institute would like to extend sincere congratulations. Now that adult life is calling, it might appear difficult to some to go about that journey. There are plenty of facts, deadlines, and forms to fill in. A tight bureaucratic journey is awaiting the candidates, and it might be daunting to some. What needs to be avoided at all cost is a rejection because of logistical difficulties with the application process rather than lacking qualification. This is where the Ephero Institute comes into play. The Cambridge graduates Carl-Victor Wachs, Johanna Roessner have overseen many successful applications. Their expertise in terms of consulting, selection, procedure and preparation can help. Additionally, their team offers tuition in almost all subjects.
