to the next chapter.
INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION.
INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE.
THE IES APPROACH
Choosing a school is about more than where you’re admitted. It’s about finding an environment where you can grow.
At Inclusive Educational Services, we help students and families navigate the many decisions that come with studying abroad. We take the time to understand each student’s individual needs and goals, then guide them through the admission process with care and clarity.
From exploring schools in the US and Europe to preparing an application and adjusting to life in the US, our support continues beyond an acceptance letter.

A CLOSER LOOK AT OUR WORK
From building a college list to refining a final draft, our work helps students make informed choices and present themselves thoughtfully.

Talk with Anja about your goalsWe start with your academic interests, strengths, and the subjects you want to explore. Together, we connect those interests to possible majors and compare how different schools teach and support them. Students who are still deciding can explore options without feeling pressured to settle on a single path too soon.
A useful college list reflects both ambition and fit. We consider your academic record, testing profile, intended field, and personal priorities, then research schools that offer different admission possibilities. We help you understand why each school belongs on your list and refine it as your interests and application plans develop.
We help you find the story within your experiences and explain why it matters. Feedback begins with the larger questions: what the reader learns about you, how the essay is organized, and where reflection needs more depth. We then move to sentence-level edits. Your ideas and voice remain at the center of the process.
Personal statements and school-specific essays do different jobs. We help you interpret each prompt, select a relevant example, and make the most of limited space. For essays about a major or university, we focus on connecting your experiences and interests to specific academic opportunities rather than relying on broad praise.
Workshops break essay writing into manageable steps: understanding the prompt, finding a meaningful experience, shaping a narrative, and revising with purpose. Students practice looking beyond a list of accomplishments to explain what an experience reveals about how they think and what they value.
We help students describe their commitments with accuracy and purpose. Whether an activity involves research, music, service, employment, or an independent project, we focus on the student’s actual role and contribution. We also help determine when additional information adds useful context to the application.
We turn a collection of application requirements into a workable plan. Students receive guidance on sequencing essays and application tasks, preparing for meetings, and keeping track of next steps. As plans change, we help reassess priorities so that important requirements and deadlines remain visible.
MEET YOUR ADVISOR
An international perspective.
A personal understanding.
Having come to the US as an international student herself, Anja understands the questions, possibilities, and adjustments that come with studying far from home.
With more than 20 years of experience in international education, she brings a background in university admissions, boarding school admission and placement, and private consulting for students and families abroad.
Her experience also includes more than 15 years of immigration advising for F-1 students and H-1B employment. She has worked with students from China, Japan, South Korea, Germany, the Czech Republic, Brazil, Mexico, and India.
Anja combines that global perspective with a focus on the individual, helping each student find schools that meet their needs and prepare for what comes next.
