Meet Charli Taylor
Principal Coach & Founder
Charli is a globally recognised coach, international education strategist, and champion of human potential. With over 25 years in higher education, she's guided thousands of students from 50+ countries into world-class institutions — Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Oxford, INSEAD, and beyond.
Her career spans the Middle East, Vietnam, the former Soviet Union, and more — leading admissions and partnerships for universities like Cornell, Exeter, and Brunel, designing government scholarship programs, and sitting on admissions committees where she read thousands of applications firsthand.
What makes her different isn't just the 98% success rate or the insider knowledge. It's the quality of presence she brings to every single student.
“Charli was phenomenal in helping to guide me into these amazing (repeat AMAZING) personal statements. When I shared that final draft with a few friends who were also stunned about not just the quality and flow of the narrative, but also the many struggles I personally went through, which I rarely share, and how it all made sense to them on how it contributed to me as a person.”
Charli has trained in executive presence at RADA, holds certifications in mediation, negotiation, and hypnotherapy, and is a depth Jungian coach — guiding clients through inner work that creates lasting clarity and self-trust. She's worked with first-gen students, mid-career professionals, and scholarship recipients from conflict zones. She knows what a big leap takes, because she's made many herself.
Her students come for admissions. They stay for life.
The soul-to-soul connection is the foundation of her work. Students leave as stronger writers, corageous thinkers, and kinder leaders. The relationships last long after the offers arrive.
This process can be so much more than getting in. It's about becoming who you're meant to be and enjoying the adventure of getting there.
