Application Assistance Program

Meet Your Application Instructors

Book a 1-on-1 session with an instructor to strengthen your Autobiographical Sketch (ABS) or your essays before you submit.

Before You Book: Pricing & Feedback Policy

Sessions are $30 CAD per hour. This program is brand new, and every instructor listed here is currently in a structured training and evaluation period before they're fully certified in application assistance.

That's why every session comes with a mandatory post-session feedback survey (about 5 to 10 minutes). Your honest, detailed feedback is how we assess each instructor's performance and directly shapes their coaching before we roll this program out more broadly. You're not just getting help with your application, you're helping us build a better one. By booking a session, you agree to complete this survey afterward.
