Breakthrough Coaches

Our Breakthrough Coaches are the first people you will interact with on our team. They are intensively trained and mentored personally by our founder, Kaneisha Grayson, to serve as the people who help graduate school applicants understand what’s working in their applications, what’s not working, where the applicant is, where they want to go, what it will take to get there, if we can help, and how we can help.

You first have a Quick Call with one of our Breakthrough Coaches. If they are confident we can help, they will invite you to have a 90-minute Breakthrough Call. Then, they will invite you to work with us as a client, and answer any remaining questions you have about the company, the process, and how it all works.
