About Me

Bespoke. Authentic. Result-Oriented.

I am Revathi Shivakumar, a Management Graduate from Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, an independent education counsellor and also an ICF Certified, PCC credentialed coach. I am a qualified practitioner for many sought after psychometric assessment tools such as The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Emotional Intelligence and Strong suite of career assessment tools. I hold a Global Career Counselor Diploma from Univariety and UCLA Extension for college admissions counselling. I am a member of the International Association for College Admission Counselling (IACAC).

Currently, I focus on Under Graduate admissions and work with students from as early as the 9th Grade. I have also had a few students come to me in the 12th Grade for college selection and application essays guidance. While I would advise earlier association to bring out the best in the child and build a meaningful profile, you can reach out to me at any stage of the high school journey. I live in Mumbai, India. My students can be located anywhere and they are from different parts of the world.

I am completely involved in all aspects of the process personally, from the initial meeting to post admission support. Since I nurture and mentor each student like my own child, I work with a limited number of students in each batch. I get to know them well, and these insights and my background as a coach are very useful when shaping their activities and building their profile. This personal connect is also very useful when I brainstorm with them on their essays, or as I discuss and help them finalize the college list. I monitor the applications closely, as this is where the colleges get to see and hear my children. I support every one of my students to be the best version of themselves, so that they get into colleges that are a great fit for them.
