Who We Are *

At Lumen, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions. Our programs, grounded in a holistic approach, are built to support you at every stage — whether you're just starting to explore your future, preparing to apply, or aiming for a competitive graduate program abroad.

You’ll work with experienced mentors from top universities in Europe and the U.S., Fulbright scholars, native English-speaking Ivy League graduates for academic writing support, expert test prep teachers with 20+ years of experience, and our in-house adolescent psychologist so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

All Lumen sessions are held online and in English — with mentors based in both Europe and the U.S., we offer flexible scheduling that works across time zones and busy calendars.

The Process *

Here’s what to expect once you reach out:

1. Free 30-Minute Consultation

This is where it all begins. You (and your parent, if they'd like to join) meet with us for a relaxed, no-pressure conversation. We’ll talk about your goals, answer your questions, and introduce how Lumen works.

2. Choosing the Right Program

If we’re a good fit, we’ll agree on which program works best, how long it should run, and when to begin. Then we’ll sign a simple contract and get started.

3. Your Personalized Roadmap

Our team creates a step-by-step plan tailored to your goals, deadlines, and school choices. You’ll always know what we’re working on and what’s coming next.

4. Monthly Scheduling

Sessions are booked in advance each month, giving you structure and flexibility.

5. Built-In Wellbeing Support

Your journey starts and ends with a 1:1 session with our in-house psychologist — because your mindset matters just as much as your resume.

6. Real Guidance, Real Results

Throughout the program, you’ll also work with:

  • An experienced academic mentor (you’ll have a set number of sessions)

  • A native English-speaking Ivy League graduate for writing and personal statement coaching

We’re with you from start to finish — helping you stay focused, feel supported, and submit an application you’re proud of.
