Testimonials

Hear from happy learners, parents, and institutions

I highly recommend Heidi. She de-mystified both the options and the processes involved with finding our boy a place on a brilliant course, in a great overseas uni. She held his (and our hands,) all the way! Knowledgeable, thoughtful and connected. If you’re considering sending your child overseas, she would definitely be my strong suggestion as a first call.

Heidi was such an important piece in my college application process … When you have someone that’s as knowledgeable as she is about such a complex process it makes it super easy! Something that sets her apart from most institutions is that she understands different education curriculums ... She’s always had my best interest at heart…

It is rare to meet an individual such as yourself who clearly displays combined spiritual , emotional and intellectual intelligence. So evident yesterday. I am relieved that we have met you, and that Crystal especially has you as support to guide her along her future life journey…
Parent of Reddam House learner
There were times over the past year that I wondered if she would ever get to the UK and I know that we could never have done this without your assistance – so from all of us, a BIG THANK YOU! Just before we left I read your University Speaking - UK, which is a great resource for families contemplating this journey.
Mom of Parklands College Learner
For many years, I knew I wanted to study abroad, however, I didn't know where to start. Heidi helped me tremendously throughout my journey. She recommended universities, aided me in receiving a scholarship and gave me advice about choosing a university that would fit my personality and work ethic. I am extremely grateful for her constant assistance and dedication. She pointed me in the right direction when working on my personal statement and double-checked all my university applications. I always received help the minute I needed it. After I had applied, I was still able to reach out at any moment to discuss how to meet the conditions of an offer and which offer I should accept. She held my hand throughout the entire process and still aids me in my preparation to study abroad.

I’m not sure what you did with Caria, but never seen her study so hard and diligently! Thank you so much for your input.
Mom of Student at Generations School
I just wanted to give you my very heart felt thank you for everything you did for Liya. She is finally in the UK preparing to start her journey later this month. God bless you internally for the amazing, heartfelt work you do
Mom of Bridgehouse Learner
We wish we had found Heidi earlier in our journey to send our son overseas. You cannot afford to make mistakes in the application process, and her knowledge of the British system and Universities was a great comfort. Don’t underestimate how helpful it is to be able to pick up the phone and speak to someone in the know, on your team, here in SA. With so many variants, we are very grateful for her clarity, and comfort, our son is placed in a great uni, going to do exactly what he wanted to do.

We have just completed our journey to register our daughter to study in Exeter through yourselves and Heidi Sulcas and I just wanted to drop you a line to say what an incredible, journey it has been with Maxine and Heidi guiding us. From a “what if” though to it coming real, we have been guided by the two most attentive to detail, caring, knowledge and competent people I have met in the service industry. We have been prompted guided so efficiently every step of the way and I would like to formally give these two ladies credit. I have recommended yourselves to a number of my friends and look forward to dealing with you again in the new year for our son. Now to hope that that exchange rate stays where it is.
Mom of Durban Girls College Learner
This is just to say Thank You for all the help and support, you definitely helped him to focus and streamline his thinking, and to look at some universities we didn't know much about. We also used your guidance from 'University Speaking' on the Personal Statement which helped a lot.
Mom of Somerset College Learner
It was so wonderful to meet you last night and we would like to express our gratitude to you for the excellent and informative presentation. Your humour, ease, use of statistics and anecdotes made for a wonderful address. Even though my children will not study overseas, I found gems of information within the presentation that were very useful to know and much to think about in the purpose of critical thinking, the future in terms of career selections, and the role of a university. Thank you so much for joining us to tell us about overseas study.

Heidi was such an important piece in my college application process. Not just with regards to how to put together an attractive application but also on a personal level she was very invested. The daunting college experience that some of my peers went through is one that I am yet to experience. When you have someone that's as knowledgeable as she is about such a complex process it makes it super easy! Something that sets her apart from most institutions is that she understands different education curriculums and has great insight on how to make your application as compelling as possible. She's always had my best interest at heart, even after I finished my first semester she was still happy to help with any problems I ran into at the University of Arizona.
Cambridge Homeschool Student
My son and I started the daunting task of looking for universities in England and America and came across a few local companies who offer services to assist with overseas placements. We were fortunate to make contact with Heidi who immediately stood out from the others with her knowledge, friendly manner and patience. We dealt with Heidi over the coming months and she was always available to assist with queries, questions and to put our mind at ease. The whole process can be daunting and scary but Heidi is so knowledgeable and experienced and walked us through the whole process. I would highly recommend Heidi. She is a pleasure to deal with and is the best in the business!
Mom of Rondebosch Boys High School Lerner
Good morning our dear Heidi, not a day goes past without your mention in our household! And that too with so much respect, love and gratitude. God bless you- May you be loved and respected by one and all.
Mom of St John's College Learner
It’s been a whirlwind of a week! Kai’s visa came through last Tuesday (a day after we were supposed to fly to Budapest). Air tickets and accommodation had to be rebooked; passports collected in Pretoria; a quick pack; and we were off on Friday. We arrived in Pécs after multiple flights and an 3 hour train ride on Saturday. If I told you that Kai has not stopped smiling, that would be an understatement! We have spent the last few days walking to his dormitory and sorting out university admin at the various departments scattered around this beautiful city. Blessed to have this time to settle him. He moves into the dorm on 2 Sept and orientation has been rescheduled to 8 Sept (lectures start on 12 Sept). Thank you for the role that you have played in making my son’s dream come true! Now the rest is up to him. 🙏🏽💐
Mom of Bishops Learner
