Testimonials
“Mark is an exceptional education counsellor. I met him at a pivotal moment in my life. His guidance on university choice, scholarships, and applications enabled me to study at SOAS on a full scholarship, which helped shape both my academic direction and subsequent career in international development.”
Aapurv Jain, MA Gender, Development & Law
“Mark encouraged me to apply to SOAS and provided guidance on the appropriate pathway, courses, and available scholarships. I secured a scholarship and came to the UK to pursue postgraduate study, which became a foundation for my current research and museum career, enabling me to earn two postgraduate degrees and progress to a DPhil in Anthropology at the University of Oxford. I know this would not have been possible without Mark’s encouragement and guidance.”
Thupten Kelsang, MA Art History
“Coming from a modest background in Pakistan, I had little exposure to opportunities abroad and never imagined studying in the UK. Mark introduced me to scholarships I hadn’t known existed and guided me clearly through each step of the process. With his support, I secured funding to study at SOAS and went on to complete a PhD at King’s College London. His advice came at the right moment and proved truly transformative.”
Jaffer Mirza, MA Religion in Global Politics
