We want to thank Daniel from Zenith prep to guide us through my son Om’s journey. He has helped us choosing right tutor, making us let him follow his passion. Giving us an understanding that GPA is not everything and he should do what he is passionate about, like playing sports, while also balancing his academics. Thank you Daniel. We look forward to your guidance in upcoming years and hoping that together, Om will build a better future.

Working with Ian Collis over the last four years has been, without a doubt, the best investment we made for our son’s future. Rather than just helping with a final application, Ian acted as a true strategic partner throughout the entire high school journey. What sets Ian and Zenith apart is the long-term vision they have. Ian didn't just focus on grades; he helped our son "build his package" year by year, ensuring his extracurriculars and summer programs were meaningful and cohesive. Through Ian, we gained access to opportunities we wouldn’t have known existed otherwise. The college application process can be incredibly stressful for a teenager. Ian remained a steady, positive force, keeping our son motivated and confident even when the workload was heavy. The results speak for themselves. Our son was accepted into every UC campus he applied to, including the highly competitive UC Berkeley and UCLA. If you are looking for an advisor who is deeply knowledgeable, resourceful, and genuinely invested in your child's success, I cannot recommend Ian and the Zenith team highly enough. They turned what could have been an overwhelming four years into a structured, successful, and winning experience.

Zenith was very accommodating to our specific needs given some unforeseen complications in our personal situation in the midst of the college planning and prep process. We were interested in both US colleges as well as international colleges. We were assigned Shivani Suresh as our consultant. Shivani is amazing! She has both US and UK college experiences at top colleges and knew exactly what we were looking for and how to approach the application process, and more importantly, finding ways to motivate and connect with our child. She took such a keen personal interest in our child...almost like a big sister! And she worked so hard to come up with fabulous creative ideas to help strengthen the college application. We always felt as if she was the biggest cheerleader and motivator. She was very responsive to our questions and would answer emails same or next day. We always knew where we stood. During an unforseen change, we were reassigned to another consultant who helped with the essay preparation and helped strengthen the overall essay. Our child enjoyed working with Adriana as well. Shivani later returned as our primary consultant as she had UK university expertise. Our child ended up accepting an offer from a top world ranked university and we are very relieved and grateful especially to Shivani for never giving up on our child and having such a positive can-do attitude with strong creative solutions and problem solving skills. Thank you!

We have really enjoyed our association with Zenith so far. We were lucky to havd been assigned Daniel as my son’s counselor. During this journey Daniel’s support and guidance has made a real difference for Pranshu and for us/parents. Daniel has influenced Pranshu to stay on top of things, have provided repeated reminders to make sure Pranshu is able to pace his work assignments- enjoy the work assignments and not get overwhelmed with the college applications and other deliverables . Daniel’s patience, honest feedback, encouragement and being able to connect with Pranshu has really helped him to grow during these important years and we can see that being reflected in the opportunities Pranshu has received in last two years. His continuous guidance during these high school years has helped to get results for Pranshu ‘s hard work. He has helped us to make decisions with clarity . Thank you Zenith for helping Pranshu through this important years and a big thank you to Daniel for leading Pranshu to success .

Zenith is wonderful! They always make sure to help you excel in whatever you look for! My mentor, Yohan Ahn, has helped me every step of the way in my college journey for almost three years now, and he has been incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and helpful in helping me find my passion and channel it into achievable results.
