About Laura
I have 10+ years of experience working and teaching in higher education. I am a former Harvard University faculty member and Resident Dean, where I advised and supported more than 500 students per year as they navigated their path through Harvard, particularly in regards to their academic success, intellectual growth, and personal wellbeing. Before Harvard, I received my MPhil and DPhil from Oxford University and worked at Brown University. I have worked with students of all backgrounds to help them achieve their educational goals and find balance along the way.

I provide holistic coaching to help students apply to college and succeed there. I look forward to supporting people of all backgrounds, interests, and nationalities as they navigate the myriad of higher education options in the US and the UK, at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. I am deeply familiar with the types of applicants elite institutions look for, but I am also here to help if students are interested in state schools, small liberal arts colleges, or other types of institutions. Whether you need a little bit of guidance or a lot of help, I’m here to support you. I offer a variety of services, including but not limited to: - holistic, personal advising on college application strategy - essay feedback - résumé feedback - interview preparation - tips and strategies for succeeding in college - study abroad advising - guidance on post-graduate fellowship applications If you’d like to discuss where you are in the admissions process and how I can help you, please don’t hesitate to be in touch. I look forward to hearing from you!

I have known Laura for over 8 years now. I had the opportunity to be at her side when she was a PhD student at Oxford, where she was already a brilliant teacher, always listening to her students and doing everything possible to ensure that they were well taken care of. As a graduate of Oxford and now teaching at the London School of Economics, I was impressed and delighted for her when she was able to become Head of Quincy House at Harvard.
I was lucky enough to spend time there several times, and I was able to see Laura firsthand in that environment, and understand her job, and see the hundreds of students she has accompanied in this brilliant institution.
At the heart of the system, she knows the workings, the admission mechanisms, as well as the general philosophy. A true keystone of such a brilliant American university for many years, she is also a pure product of Oxford because of her background as a student and researcher.
Therefore she is the ideal person to guide you, to prepare you for the integration into any Ivy League university in the US/ Russell group in the UK.
She knows how things work, she knows the language of the institutions, and will be able to prepare you both for oral and written admission tests.
Laura is a foreign language enthusiast who, in addition to her native English, speaks fluent French, Arabic, and more, which allows her to add an extra touch (if any) of personalization to the service she offers.
I am positive that she will be the one who maximizes your chances of integration.View more recommendations
