Do you need your own multi million dollar business? Find a cure for cancer? The greatest hurdle of the university admissions process is understanding what makes a good portfolio in the first place and what separates good students from great ones. Ivory education aims to provide students with a clearer and more straightforward pathway for students to follow in their journey to build a strong portfolio and get into the university of their dreams.

More specifically, the services we offer include

1. Extracurricular development

2. Competition guidance

3. Personal Narrative Crafting, including Personal Statement and Supplemental Application Essays

4. Standardised testing (eg. SAT, UCAT, etc)

5. Interview Preparation

Yup, we can accommodate most specific requests, such as interview prep and essay review on its own, as long as sufficient prior notice is provided.

Price range will be outlined by the admin team based on each individual student’s specific needs and requirements. Prices will differ based on whether US, UK or local unis are the specific targets. Prices will also vary based on the number of services provided. A private meeting will be arranged to run through the specific terms.

All students from upper secondary to their last year of JC/high school are welcome! Depending on when the student comes under our mentorship, we will curate a personalised plan for them which plays to their strengths. Most of our students come to us around JC 1 (17 years old). Leading up to the actual college application, our team will provide consistent coaching for academic competitions, selection of prime extracurricular activities, step-by-step guidance for planning of volunteering events, passion projects, etc.

In the weeks leading up to the application deadline, we will provide closer support, from brainstorming to refining draft after draft of their personal statements. Additionally, we provide several rounds of interview practice that cover a wide range of interview types based on the school they are applying to.

Lessons and monthly consults will usually be held online for the student’s convenience. We have partnered with an established local tuition company and our initial consultation, roadmap planning and any future meetings (if required) will be held at one of their islandwide centres.

What separates Ivory Education from its peers in the college consulting sphere is its team of driven mentors. We believe in walking the talk. Our mentors, most of whom are recent graduates, have gone through the rigorous admissions process themselves and have achieved strong results. Being able to relate strongly to current students' situation and journey, our mentors are best able to advise on crucial decisions which make or break applications.

Yes, each student and their portfolio is unique to them and thus requires specific attention and custom planning to reach their full potential. In fact, in most cases 2 and up to 3 mentors will be assigned to one student.

Initially, once you have indicated your interest, our team will reach out to you directly. Following that, we will host a session (online/ face-to-face) with the student and his or her parents to share more about us before moving forward. A group chat will be set up between the parents, student and mentor(s) involved for convenient communication. Parents are welcome to clarify any doubts and provide their own input at any time.

Ivory Education would be more than happy to accommodate both. All clients are welcomed to customise their own university application packages.
