I received an Ivey AEO offer since working with Breanne! The consulting services provided by Breanne have been extraordinary. Her guidance throughout the application process made it significantly easier and less stressful. She provided step-by-step support and has helped me get accepted into Western Ivey. I strongly recommend her consulting services to all students who hope to gain acceptance into Western Ivey.

I was accepted to both Ivey HBA AEO and Queen's Commerce and couldn't be happier. Youthfully has helped me reach my potential by showing me that I can pursue my dreams even as a student, learning valuable lessons along the way and fostering independence.

Working with Youthfully was one of the best decisions I made in my university application process. Not only did he clarify the confusing and slightly daunting process of applying to universities and navigating student sites, but he helped me tremendously grow as a person. My coach offered insight I had never considered and sparked creative ideas and motivation to enhance my extracurricular experiences and grow my network. After working with Youthfully, I've become more mature and eager to push myself to excel in academics and leadership opportunities as well as other areas of my personal life. I really enjoyed my conversations and work sessions with my coach, and I would really recommend Youthfully to anyone looking for guidance and inspiration in the university application process.

Joel's consulting work with Noa was truly a game changer. He worked with her to develop an X Factor as a common theme. He then helped her craft all of her personal statements around this theme. The end result was exceptional. Noa was accepted to Queen's Commerce and awarded a scholarship. I told Joel his consulting fee was money well spent long before we learned that she had been accepted. When she was accepted, in mid May, my first phone call was to Joel to thank him again. What is interesting is that Noa did not meet Joel face to face through this entire process. All of the work they did together was by phone text and email. I would recommend Joel's services highly to anyone looking to give their son or daughter an edge above the competition.

Thank you so much for everything you did to help me get into Waterloo University! I really enjoyed working with you and learning from Youthfully - if I could do the whole process again I would! Thank you for all your time and efforts setting me up for success through reviewing my essays and helping me prep for the video interview. I'm thrilled that I got accepted to my first program and university of choice, Mechatronics at Waterloo with President's Scholarship, which I will be attending this September.

My experience with Youthfully has been extremely positive. Alex was extremely helpful not only with the actual application process itself, but also with providing support and advice from start to end. I cannot be happier with my decision to have completed my journey here!

My Youth Coach was crucial not only to my first choice, Waterloo Engineering acceptance, but also to the other programs that required supplementary applications. I definitely could not have done it without his advice and great availability.

We engaged Youthfully to assist with our daughter’s application to Queen’s University Smith School of Business (Queen’s Commerce). Jessica was our daughter’s coach throughout the application process. Youthfully’s coaching program is not just about writing an application essay – it is a coaching program that is much more than completing an application process. Jessica had regular meetings with our daughter in an effort to get to know her better and challenge her thoughts while raising her own awareness about her goals, passions, strengths and weaknesses. Jessica’s knowledge and experience of the application process specifically with respect to Queen’s Commerce is outstanding. Most importantly, we were very impressed with Jessica’s ability to challenge our daughter with her thinking, writing skills, and creativity. Jessica was very professional to work with and definitely appreciated her flexibility and availability over the holidays to support our daughter through the application process. Not only did Jessica’s experience and guidance help with the Queen’s Commerce application but our daughter was able to leverage that guidance for her other applications. Our daughter was very happy to be accepted into Queen’s Commerce Class of 2025. We were very impressed with Jessica’s knowledge, experience and guidance and would recommend her to anyone looking for support through the application process.

A big thank you to Youthfully. Their knowledge on what is needed to be the best has helped my daughter to think outside the box, helped her discover her strengths and has greatly increased her chances to get into some of hardest universities out there. I highly recommend Youthfully to any families out there that are looking to give their children that little extra to make them special!

Steph is an amazing coach. I can confidently say she has helped me to become a better writer. Her advice and suggestions have made my essays super strong. When we worked together it was both comfortable and productive. Overall, I had an amazing experience.

I went from wanting to apply to seven different programs to one. I now know exactly what I want to do both at university and after, and this translated into very clear essays.

Youthfully offered me an internship project with a leading university research centre, where my challenge is to design an experiment to evaluate the mitochondrial impact of coffee consumption. My Youthfully coach is a scientist, so she has been guiding me through the process while still allowing me to feel empowered and in control. It's been worth every investment and I'd recommend anyone using it as a springboard for their career and receive quality mentorship that isn't as available at school.

Having my child work with Alex was without a doubt one of the best decisions we made in 2023. His efficiency and direct feedback were very helpful in helping us tweak my child's Waterloo Engineering application. His guidance for the interview was immensely helpful and gave my very child's strong application the finesse it needed to stand out. An offer of admission for my child's first choice program just came in...it was so worth it. Have recommended it to friends and highly recommend Alex to all engineering student prospects. Many Thanks.

The program is a very intensive process, but what you get out of it is truly invaluable, and will last a lifetime. I was admitted to Queen's Commerce and won Queen's University's prestigious Chancellor's Award, valued at $36,000 over four years.

I give 5 stars overall. The sessions that I had with my coach were very informative and he gave me good tips for the video interviews. I hope that with his guidance I will be able to secure admission in a top Canadian university.

I have worked with Simrit for almost six months. Despite starting late, I have received top-notch support to improve my candidacy for highly sought-after programs such as MacMaster BHSc. We worked together to systematically identify my strengths and weaknesses, helping me become more self-conscious. Also, my time with Simrit has considerably enhanced my analytical thinking, which was crucial when brainstorming and formulating potential responses for the supplementary applications. Simrit went above and beyond to ensure my success and provided outstanding support wherever needed. Always punctual and committed, Simrit was also an excellent listener; she always tackled the issues with great care and considered my perspective. Moreover, her great attitude and positivity further facilitated the communication of ideas and information. I highly recommend Simrit as a coach and advise everyone to start working with her as early as possible.

My daughter has been working with Stephanie, and we’ve had an amazing experience with her. She’s been fun, flexible with her busy schedule, and really understands her life and likes and dislikes in order to help her put together the best application possible. A lot of time, I find adults in tutor/teaching roles don’t connect with teens but I really felt Stephanie connected so well with her. In addition, I’ve tried to stay out of the process because as her mother, she doesn’t want me involved. But anytime I’ve had questions, Stephanie has been more than helpful with filling me in on what’s going on. She’s been so responsive on both email and the phone and I really feel she understands both of us so well. In addition, she’s just been so accommodating to both of us and our input and schedules. Also, she’s been so kind even just to send friendly reminders to push her along -something that I really appreciate so I don’t have to be the “nag” :)
