Confidence
Building
It is essential that young minds learn to develop courage, inner strength and self-esteem. From this platform of stability, we can develop their sense of agency and independence and promote continuous and constructive introspection. From this position of power, we guide them to begin trusting their intuition and to generate an authentic voice. We then move towards their purpose.
Interview
Process
Essential for interview success is preparation, including CV development, extra-curricular activities and interview training with practise questions to develop confidence and fluency. We also work on helping your child to adapt to interview context and different interviewers so that they are fully prepared for a range of personality types they might face on the big day.
Essay
Writing
There are several components to writing exceptional essays. The first is to help your child tap into their natural enthusiasm and identify their routes to inspiration. From that foundation of excitement, we look at essay composition and identify compelling storylines, develop effective hooks, and learn how a heart-felt narrative can be delivered with passion and authenticity.
Emotional
Support
Providing emotional support is very much about helping your child focus on what inspires them so they can tap into their passions and connect with genuine enthusiasm. It is remarkable how this approach engenders lasting senses of freedom, satisfaction and wonder. Equally important here are techniques such as breathing, meditation and mindfulness and other stress relief practises.
Contextual
Grounding
Equally important are learnable skills such as emotional intelligence and debating. We will also spend time discussing ethics, social and environmental impact and diversity and inclusivity to encourage balanced, holistic thinking. We will also look at university selection and what kinds of technical support your child requires to optimise their perfect college application.

My Mission
Getting into American college is seemingly difficult and byzantine; there is more art and mysticism to the process than is commonly understood. Put another way, deconstructing the application process is an essential step towards the larger and more essential goal: knowing oneself.
My mission is, firstly, to help young people to build courage, resilience, self-esteem and self-worth. Subsequently, we focus on acquiring clarity and inspiration to identify their passions and purpose. These are the real foundations that are prerequisites to producing exceptional authentic essays and dynamic interview fluency.
Delivering such a rich combination of value requires a multi-pronged approach that focuses on developing several other components of the human psyche. These include intuition, enthusiasm, emotional intelligence, adaptability, conviction and the ability to continually apply constructive introspection.
The Process
It is common for the sympathetic nervous system to trigger the ‘fight, flight, freeze or fawn’ response when students are confronted with essay prompts and other demanding intellectual challenges. On the other hand, the parasympathetic nervous system inhibits the body from overworking and restores the body to a calm and composed state. It is this state that is most conducive to emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing. It is also the optimal state for creativity, clarity of thought, imagination and focus.
Upon discussing with parents and student, I will design a bespoke schedule to bring out the best result possible for all. Achieving my clients’ goals around academic and/or creative achievement means always starting with an internal journey and investigation, tapping into our unseen worlds and the power and confidence that lie there. This takes place in a relaxed atmosphere with no dogma, whether offline or online and it also a great deal of fun for everyone. It is deep in here that true inspiration, courage, conviction and enthusiasm lies.
Covid-19
Since many college applicants have been unable to travel or fulfil their extracurricular ambitions this year (on account of COVID restrictions), there will be increased attention paid to essays and interviews. This is especially important as applicants will attempt to describe their experiences in such challenging and unusual circumstances. It is important also to note that SATs and ACTs may not carry the weight they used to as they may be seen to give certain students an unfair advantage.

Testimonials
Sonia Revelli
Naturopath
“It was such an overwhelming year with so much to think about but my son was unbelievably calm and in control, both of his essays and the SAT process. I fully credit Peter with this transformation. His liaison with us parents kept the whole process smooth. It was such a joy to have the pressure taken off in this way. He is an inspiring mentor and figurehead and I will definitely use him again when my next son and daughter arrive at the college application process.”
Pam Aoun
Clinical Nutritionist
“Working with Peter has been an amazing journey. His knowledge, sensitivity and insight allowed for deep and meaningful meditation and helped both my daughter and son to switch into the parasympathetic state. So useful when you consider all the stressors of modern-day life. The creative writing followed and was just as meaningful. Peter has an incredible talent for bringing out the light in children, including teens, boosting their confidence and releasing their voice, their writing and their true and unique essence.”
Valentine Stockdale
Impact Strategist
I’ve known Peter personally and professionally for years and couldn’t be more excited about his work with my son. Peter’s integrity, classical education, sensitivity and profound knowledge of wisdom practices leave me no doubt that he is the best choice to nurture my son’s personality and intellect. Investing in my boy’s future is a key responsibility so I felt a profound sense of relief when Peter agreed to take him on. The future is bright and I would strongly advise any parent to make the same choice.
