Imagine dropping off your child at his/her dream college, happy and motivated to be studying with the best faculty and students in the world. That was me last week. This time last year was a different story. Everything they say about the difficulty college admissions is true. I will spare you the details (It's actually worse). It is competitive because the top college programs today have admission rates of less than 3%. That means only one student is accepted for every 30 that apply, and that student is selected by the college for something special. And the competition is global. Bryan and the team at Key were instrumental in the whole process. I will spare you the details (There are lots). Think of them as experienced coaches with years of experience. Even the very best athletes have coaches, trainers and mentors. Or perhaps they became the best because they had the right coach. We met several college counsellors, and Key Education Consulting was the best for us. I wish everyone the best in their journey. Looking back, all that hard work and effort -- It's worth it. The gratification comes from achieving every day, that which is hard, not what is easy.

Key Education transformed my academic journey! Their expert tutors taught me how to write compelling essays--structuring arguments, refining style, and strengthening clarity. They also guided my university applications: personal statement, interview prep, and strategy. Thanks to their support, I got into my dream school. Highly recommended for essays and admission success!

My experience with Key has been nothing but pleasant. The team is well-organized, knowledgeable, and professional. The principal is not only well-connected in the community but also very approachable when it comes to answering our questions. The team provided great guidance and assistance with my family’s application. I highly recommend them!

I first started working with Bryan to prep for school interviews before entering Grade 1. What I didn't realize was that Bryan and his company would become central to helping me with my College Apps. I have a great connection with Bryan and he and his team worked with me until the last second of college prep. Bryan helped me layout my college application plan and follow through with it. Thank you Bryan for everything!

KEY Education is a wonderful establishment, especially when kickstarting a child’s journey towards a private school education. The staff and advisors are incredibly helpful and responsible when monitoring our children’s learning and growth. Both our boys have successfully gotten into the school they’ve hoped for and we couldn’t be more grateful for KEY’s guidance during this process.
