We engaged Youthfully to assist with our daughter’s application to Queen’s University Smith School of Business (Queen’s Commerce). Jessica was our daughter’s coach throughout the application process. Youthfully’s coaching program is not just about writing an application essay – it is a coaching program that is much more than completing an application process. Jessica had regular meetings with our daughter in an effort to get to know her better and challenge her thoughts while raising her own awareness about her goals, passions, strengths and weaknesses. Jessica’s knowledge and experience of the application process specifically with respect to Queen’s Commerce is outstanding. Most importantly, we were very impressed with Jessica’s ability to challenge our daughter with her thinking, writing skills, and creativity. Jessica was very professional to work with and definitely appreciated her flexibility and availability over the holidays to support our daughter through the application process. Not only did Jessica’s experience and guidance help with the Queen’s Commerce application but our daughter was able to leverage that guidance for her other applications. Our daughter was very happy to be accepted into Queen’s Commerce Class of 2025. We were very impressed with Jessica’s knowledge, experience and guidance and would recommend her to anyone looking for support through the application process.

A big thank you to Youthfully. Their knowledge on what is needed to be the best has helped my daughter to think outside the box, helped her discover her strengths and has greatly increased her chances to get into some of hardest universities out there. I highly recommend Youthfully to any families out there that are looking to give their children that little extra to make them special!

Steph is an amazing coach. I can confidently say she has helped me to become a better writer. Her advice and suggestions have made my essays super strong. When we worked together it was both comfortable and productive. Overall, I had an amazing experience.

I went from wanting to apply to seven different programs to one. I now know exactly what I want to do both at university and after, and this translated into very clear essays.

Youthfully offered me an internship project with a leading university research centre, where my challenge is to design an experiment to evaluate the mitochondrial impact of coffee consumption. My Youthfully coach is a scientist, so she has been guiding me through the process while still allowing me to feel empowered and in control. It's been worth every investment and I'd recommend anyone using it as a springboard for their career and receive quality mentorship that isn't as available at school.

Having my child work with Alex was without a doubt one of the best decisions we made in 2023. His efficiency and direct feedback were very helpful in helping us tweak my child's Waterloo Engineering application. His guidance for the interview was immensely helpful and gave my very child's strong application the finesse it needed to stand out. An offer of admission for my child's first choice program just came in...it was so worth it. Have recommended it to friends and highly recommend Alex to all engineering student prospects. Many Thanks.

The program is a very intensive process, but what you get out of it is truly invaluable, and will last a lifetime. I was admitted to Queen's Commerce and won Queen's University's prestigious Chancellor's Award, valued at $36,000 over four years.

I give 5 stars overall. The sessions that I had with my coach were very informative and he gave me good tips for the video interviews. I hope that with his guidance I will be able to secure admission in a top Canadian university.

I have worked with Simrit for almost six months. Despite starting late, I have received top-notch support to improve my candidacy for highly sought-after programs such as MacMaster BHSc. We worked together to systematically identify my strengths and weaknesses, helping me become more self-conscious. Also, my time with Simrit has considerably enhanced my analytical thinking, which was crucial when brainstorming and formulating potential responses for the supplementary applications. Simrit went above and beyond to ensure my success and provided outstanding support wherever needed. Always punctual and committed, Simrit was also an excellent listener; she always tackled the issues with great care and considered my perspective. Moreover, her great attitude and positivity further facilitated the communication of ideas and information. I highly recommend Simrit as a coach and advise everyone to start working with her as early as possible.

My daughter has been working with Stephanie, and we’ve had an amazing experience with her. She’s been fun, flexible with her busy schedule, and really understands her life and likes and dislikes in order to help her put together the best application possible. A lot of time, I find adults in tutor/teaching roles don’t connect with teens but I really felt Stephanie connected so well with her. In addition, I’ve tried to stay out of the process because as her mother, she doesn’t want me involved. But anytime I’ve had questions, Stephanie has been more than helpful with filling me in on what’s going on. She’s been so responsive on both email and the phone and I really feel she understands both of us so well. In addition, she’s just been so accommodating to both of us and our input and schedules. Also, she’s been so kind even just to send friendly reminders to push her along -something that I really appreciate so I don’t have to be the “nag” :)

This was a really valuable investment for my son. His coach helped him on improving his time management skills, verbal communication and presence for his video interview, and written communication for his essays. I noticed a significant change in his maturity and development and I believe it's because of the personalized approach and rigorous training that was delivered. I plan to invest in this service again when my son is in university. Thank you!

This program was very helpful. It allowed me to learn a lot about writing and introduced me to many new topics within my interest. I was able to grow as a writer and student!

Throughout my time with youthfully, I have developed numerous competencies and gained a clearer view of my path in life. Last year I was confused as to where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do in life. I was debating whether I wanted to stream into science, engineering or business but after some reflection, I decided I wanted to apply to Queen’s Commerce. With the help of Youthfully and Joel (my youth coach), I have learned lots about my character through several activities, initiatives and exercises. Everything that Youthfully has provided me will positively impact my life for years to come. Terrific experience!

I just wanted to give a huge thank you to you and your team for putting together such comprehensive resources to guide me through the stressful application process to Queen's Commerce and Western Ivey AEO.

Our experience with Joel was fantastic, and my daughter gained so much more than her acceptance to Queens Commerce! Joel focuses on holistic youth development, fostering initiative and self-growth. Throughout the process, she truly gained an awareness of her strengths and possibilities, pushing her to that “next level” of productivity. It was an incredible journey; Joel’s coaching and leadership brought out the best in her, his sessions are motivating and inspiring. Joel’s direction took her extra-curricular and personal interests crafting an impressive application. He is a pleasure to work with, and we are thrilled that she has earned her place at Queen’s.

Working with Joel was one of the best decisions I made in my university application process. Not only did he clarify the confusing and slightly daunting process of applying to universities and navigating student sites, but he helped me tremendously grow as a person. Joel offered insight I had never considered and sparked creative ideas and motivation to enhance my extracurricular experiences and grow my network. After working with Joel, I’ve become more mature and eager to push myself to excel in academics and leadership opportunities as well as other areas of my personal life. I really enjoyed my conversations and work sessions with Joel, and I would really recommend him to anyone looking for guidance and inspiration in the university application process.
