I am a Doctor, Lecturer, Business Degree Programme Leader, and published author, currently based at Imperial College London Business School. With extensive experience in higher education, I have supported a diverse cohort of students through the university admissions process, encompassing undergraduate (UCAS), Master’s, and doctoral applications. My academic expertise spans multiple disciplines, including Business Management, Economics, Finance and Accounting, MBA programmes, and Business Analytics etc. In my role as Programme Leader, I have evaluated a wide range of UCAS and postgraduate applications, providing me with in-depth understanding of the selection criteria employed by leading institutions. This experience informs my tailored approach to admissions support, which includes strategic guidance on crafting compelling personal statements, completing discipline-specific written tasks, preparing academic CVs, and developing effective interview techniques. I have successfully supported applicants in gaining admission to world-renowned universities such as University College London (UCL), Imperial College London, and King’s College London etc, across both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

As an international student who has successfully completed three degrees in the United Kingdom (BA in Accountancy and Finance, MSc in International Business, and a PhD in Management), I possess a deep, personal understanding of the academic and administrative demands faced by international applicants. During my doctoral studies, I began offering dedicated support to international students applying to UK universities at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. I have extensive familiarity with the Tier 4 (Student) visa application process and provide informed, strategic guidance to help students navigate its requirements with clarity and confidence. Additionally, I offer consultancy for English language proficiency tests, particularly the IELTS examination. This includes targeted one-to-one preparation sessions, with a focus on developing core skills such as speaking and listening, as well as structured review of past examination materials.
