Global Nexus provided me with the advice, counselling and tutorial support I needed to make smart, informed choices about my educational journey. I am now on track to succeed in my undergraduate program and am working with Global Nexus to pursue my graduates studies at Harvard University.

L He, Student at UBC

I worked with members of the Global Nexus team when I was considering graduate studies. They provided me with strategic advice including an effective networking plan and the kind of preparation needed that all served to strengthen my application and eventually succeed securing admission. Their advice helped me understand my options, weigh those options, calculate probabilities of acceptance, understand the application process and pursue other strategic considerations that I had not thought of before I began the application process.

Members of the Global Nexus team worked with me to navigate the application process and provide me with information and advice that helped me get accepted to the London School of Economics. They are an extremely dedicated team of professionals that bring knowledge, experience and strategic and ethical leadership to their profession.

Sam K, London School of Economics

I used the services of Global Nexus team members primarily for tutorial support as gaining admission was just the first hurdle that I passed but I needed to ensure that once admitted, I kept my grade point average up to a level that will assure me acceptance to a top graduate program – the tutoring including support in how I selected my courses was something that I took for granted before working with members of the Global Nexus team. I am now pursuing my Masters degree in global business thanks to the support I received from the tutoring team at Global Nexus.
