Fully Flexible — You Set the Schedule This is an entirely 1-on-1 program. All sessions — research with the professor, writing with the Creative Writing Expert, and mentorship deep dives — are scheduled directly between the student and their mentor at mutual convenience. No fixed days or times. Built around your student's life.
Is this right for you?
This program is for you if…
Your student checks at least one of these boxes:
✓
They're aiming for top business, economics, or entrepreneurship programs — and need original research to differentiate their application.✓
They're genuinely fascinated by how real markets — legal and illicit — operate globally, and want to understand the forces that shape economies and trade.✓
They want to conduct original business or economics research alongside an expert professor — not just write case studies from a textbook.✓
They want something real on their college application: a published paper, a thesis defense, and a faculty Letter of Recommendation."Business school applications want thinkers who understand how the world actually works — not just how it's supposed to work."
What students achieve
Here's exactly what your child will walk away with
Over 12–15 weeks at a pace that fits the student's schedule, they move from zero research experience to a completed, reviewed, and defended business or economics paper — guided by an expert professor and a professional Creative Writing Expert.
4,000+ Word Research Paper
A completed, publication-ready business or economics paper — reviewed and approved by the research professor.
Oral Thesis Defense
Students present their findings to a faculty panel and answer expert questions — just like real graduate researchers.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Do students need prior business or economics experience?
No. Genuine curiosity about how markets, companies, and economies work is all that's required. The professor builds academic foundations alongside the research project — including teaching research methodology and data analysis tools.
How does flexible scheduling work?
After enrollment, the student and professor connect directly to agree on a recurring schedule. The same applies for writing sessions with the Creative Writing Expert. No fixed days or times — built around your student's life and timezone.
How does this help my child's college application?
A published business or economics research paper — paired with a thesis defense and a professor's Letter of Recommendation — is a credential that almost no other applicant to top business programs holds. It demonstrates original thinking, academic rigor, and genuine intellectual initiative.
Are all sessions individual?
Yes. This program is entirely 1-on-1. Every session — research, writing, and mentorship — is scheduled directly between the student and their mentor. There are no group sessions.
Do you guarantee the paper gets published?
We don't guarantee publication — no one can. We do guarantee every student finishes a submission-ready paper with full guided submission support and a faculty review.
Is there support between sessions?
Yes. WhatsApp group for parents, Discord for students, and Program Coordinators, Research Interns, and Coach Jo available anytime via WhatsApp, Discord, email, or phone.
