Slide 1 of 4

01. Crafting an initial, highly individualised plan
During your initial assessment with one of our expert academic advisors you will have the opportunity to both learn from the advisor’s expertise and ask as many questions as you like. Once the advisor has a good idea as to your age, current academic situation and passions, they can craft a specialised plan and make recommendations as to the next steps in your Crimson journey.
02. Meeting your Educational Coordinator
Your educo is your ‘go to’ for all things scheduling and organising. Dedicated to helping you organise your entire Crimson journey, your educo will coordinate your tutor and mentor scheduling, assist you with actioning all action steps recommended by your Crimson team, and act as a regular communication base for you and your parents or guardians.
03. Planning with your Crimson Strategist
Your strategist acts as the ‘captain of your application plan ship’, helping you build out a personalised university application list and formulate a game plan which includes the construction of a highly personalised roadmap. It is your strategist who will help you pull all elements of your application(s) together, ensuring your final submission(s) will be as perfect as they can be.
04. Working with your Crimson team
Crimson’s unique algorithm matches students to their team based on their academic goals, passions and learning styles. Your team will include: tutors who are standardised test top scorers, extracurricular mentors whose profiles reflect their own international impact, essay mentors who gained admission to Harvard, Oxford and more, and interview experts who’ll ensure you are interview confident/ready.
