When working with True North Education, it really didn't feel like a straightforward guidance/tutoring service but rather true mentorship, because your mentors get to know you wholeheartedly.

“True North Education was an integral part of my college application process.”
When I planned ideas alone, I kept wondering if my topics were any good. True North Education gave me immediate feedback on what worked and what didn’t. They offered clear advice to make my story personal, concise, and engaging.

“Finally, I was accepted into my early decision school. I would recommend True North Education to anyone.”
There was only one and a half months left for me to apply, and I had underestimated the insane amount of work and research needed. It felt like mission impossible, but my mentor really made it happen with his patience, work ethic, and well-managed time schedule.
Steven
NYU, Stern School of Business
“Not only do they have the know-hows of college admissions, they genuinely cared."
My consultant was always patient even when my essay writing was on halt for quite a while, and understood my situation. Also having all the resources set up already (essay prompts, resume outline, university research outline) is really helpful for someone starting the application process.

The True North team met with my family and me and gave us guidance.
I started the application process in the summer. The True North team met with my family and me, gave us guidance, and supported me through every detail of the submission. On 10 March, we had a video call, and I literally screamed when I received my acceptance letter to Webb.

“Just want to say thank you and I've always been proud to be a part of True North.”
Thank you all of my AC mentors at True North, for helping me on my application process and helping me reach the goal that I never thought I deserved. What I love about the people of TNE is that they help me learn to manage my time and work more efficiently, and never hesitated to give me advice about anything and everything.
