EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES AND STUDENTS

Educational Support for Families and Students with International Backgrounds

Educational Support for Expat Families in Europe and the UAE

At Mentora, I help international families navigate the European higher education and UAE application process with confidence, clarity, and careful planning. This is more than just academic counseling—it's strategic and emotional support for both students and parents. With deep personal and professional experience in the expatriate world, I understand the unique challenges expat families face and guide them every step of the way.

Early planning: the secret to a successful application

While many students only begin thinking about university in 12th grade, the real advantage comes from decisions made much earlier. At Mentora, support begins in 10th grade, laying a strong foundation through:

Strategic academic and extracurricular planning
Subject and curriculum choices aligned with long-term goals
Participation in summer programs and meaningful activities
Personal growth and emotional readiness

I work closely with families to ensure each step is intentional, guided by purpose and a clear vision for the future.

Universities in Europe and the UAE: specialized support with cultural context

Each country has its own rules, deadlines, and admission criteria—and understanding these nuances makes all the difference. I offer clear, personalized guidance for applications to:

Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, Italy, Denmark and others – Navigating application systems, language requirements, public vs. private options, and admission standards;
United Arab Emirates (UAE) – Support for applying to top universities such as NYU Abu Dhabi and MBZUAI, within international and tech-driven environments.

My approach goes beyond academics. I also guide students and families through the legal, cultural, and logistical aspects of studying abroad—because successful applications require more than just good grades.

Educational Support for Students and Parents

At Mentora, I help students and parents navigate the admission process to top European and UAE universities with confidence, clarity, and strategic planning. Starting from Year 10, I offer more than just academic counseling—I provide personalized, culturally-informed guidance and practical support, shaped by deep personal and professional experience.

Support for students at all stages of the application process

Each student receives individualized support in:

Choosing universities and comparing countries
Reviewing CVs and academic motivation
Preparing portfolios (if applicable)
Training for interviews and specific tests
Organizing deadlines, documents, and online applications

I work with an empathetic approach, respecting each student's pace and identity.

Educational Support for Families and Students with International Backgrounds

Mentoring with real-life experience

I have been a mother, lawyer, and expatriate in different countries. I am well aware of the practical, emotional, and cultural challenges that this journey entails—and it is with this background that I accompany each family.

“I guide students and support families in making conscious choices, with empathy, clarity, and preparation.”

Each journey is unique. If you want to start preparing for your child's future (or understand where to start), schedule an initial guidance session.
