For Students
Build a Personal Brand & Personalized Roadmap
We help identify each student’s strengths and unique experiences to shape a clear, authentic personal story.
Develop Enrichment Plans
We focus on the most meaningful activities, helping students prioritize and present a balanced, impressive profile. We focus on summer planning guiding each student to find a purposeful opportunity that demonstrates their passion and commitment to their chosen field.
Interview Preparation
We provide deep insight into the questions asked during these interviews, helping student navigate each one with confidence and clarity. We provide mock interviews and coaching to help students feel confident, natural, and well-prepared—whether in person or via Zoom.
Create a Target School List
Schools are selected based on interests, behaviors, and future goals—not just rankings.
Essay Support
We guide students through brainstorming/ideating, drafting, and editing their essays—helping them express their voice clearly and authentically. We help them pinpoint a few compelling stories that reflect who they are and provide coaching to deepen their self-awareness. Essays are thoughtfully refined but never written for them.
Recommendation Letters
(if needed)
We provide coaching on approaching the right teachers, what to ask for, and when to follow up—ensuring they secure strong, supportive letters.
Academic Monitoring
By using “Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning” study tips and constant check-ins to make sure students feel accountable for their learning, ensuring high GPAs.
Testing Guidance
We help plan and prepare for required tests like SSAT, ISEE, or language test like TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo. We offer timelines, strategies, and tutor recommendations as needed.
Schedule School Tours & Manage Communication
We coordinate school visits to align with interviews and assist with communications. For students in China, we offer virtual options.
For Parents
Deep-Dive Interviews
We work with parents to understand their child’s strengths and ensure alignment across the application.
Progress Updates
Ongoing communication to keep parents informed about timelines, student progress, and next steps—giving peace of mind throughout the process.
Parent Interview Coaching
We prepare parents for interviews—what to say, how to present themselves, and ways to impress admissions coordinators.
Application Oversight & Deadline Management
We ensure all parts of the application—essays, test scores, recommendation letters, and forms—are completed accurately and submitted on time.
Students Success Stories
Evan P.
G9 Applicant
The Roxbury Latin School
“Amber and Larry helped me navigate the process of applying to the private high school. They helped me find the school which suited me the most. They also supported and developed my interests and hobbies. For example, they advised me to enter a writing competition to hone my writing and research skills. They helped me grow as a person and develop my confidence. I wouldn’t be where I am now if it weren’t for them, and I greatly appreciate the help that Amber and Larry have given me”.
Henry Z.
G9 Applicant
St. George's Senior School
“Working with Amber and Lawrence had been a wonderful experience! When I initially was stressed about the result of the application, they taught me invaluable life lessons along the process. Their preparation for the application process has been fascinating. From writing out my true self in the application letter to knowing every possible answer to an interview question, they flawlessly consider it for you! Another important quality that pushed me towards success is that they encouraged me to reflect deeply on my experiences and goals to ensure that my applications were authentic and meaningful. The support Amber and Lawrence gave has a lasting impact, and I recommend them for their dedication, reliability and wisdom!”
William Z.
Admitted to Belmont Hill School for G7
“We chose Lively Globe for our son’s G7 private school application. We only had less than two months to meet application deadlines when we found this team of specialists. They were not only super efficient at putting together a great application for William, but they also identified the best ways to encourage and push my son to engage in the process. Even with the limited time, they encouraged him to pursue his passion projects, and Ms. Zhang even visited our home and took a lot of pictures, and made an amazing website for my son. Their devotion to their clients are truly impressive. During the application season, they knew our son’s experience by heart since they spent hours talking to him. The stories and experience they helped us come up with were authentic and compelling. We couldn’t be happier with their service. We would do it all over again with Lively Globe!”
