Working with Ana completely changed the way I handle pressure. Before my US college applications (especially ahead of the early deadline, which was incredibly demanding) I felt overwhelmed and unsure of myself. Through our sessions, I learned to stay focused when it matters most, to organise my thoughts, and to take action instead of freezing up. Ana was always there with direct feedback and concrete solutions, not just encouragement. Looking back, I can see how much I've grown, and I'm deeply grateful for her involvement during such an important time.

Fig Tree Institute was the key to my academic success. Ana was more than a mentor: she was the person who guided me every step of the way, helping me build a strong CV through my internship at KPMG, my personal project, the YYGS summer school, and volunteer work with Save the Children. With her support, I didn't just get accepted to Cambridge: I also received a full scholarship. Her expertise, dedication, and vision turned my dream into reality, and I will always be grateful for that.

The Fig Tree Institute has been a guiding light throughout my academic journey. With Ana’s support, not only did I secure a spot at Bocconi, but she also prepared me for the SAT and helped me navigate my path with confidence. A few years later, when I decided to pursue a master’s degree at the University of Sydney, she was there for me again, ensuring that my application stood out. Ana’s mentorship goes beyond mere admission—she shapes the future, and I am infinitely grateful for the impact she has had on my future.

Fig Tree Institute didn't just help my son choose a career: it helped him find his direction. Before working with the Fig Tree team, he was uncertain about his future, caught between several options. Through the career guidance sessions, he was able to understand his strengths, clarify his priorities, and ultimately discover that architecture is the path he truly wants. The team's attentive guidance, honest conversations, and personalised resources made all the difference. Today, he pursues his dream with confidence, and as a parent, I couldn't be more grateful for the impact the professionals at Fig Tree Institute have had on him.
