I strongly recommend Adam Markus as the capable essay/ interview counselor.
One of my seniors (an MBA student in U.S.) first suggested me to contact with Adam. When I started the first free counseling session with Adam, I immediately decided to ask Adam to work as my counselor.
Although I started my prep for GMAT and TOELF relatively late, in September 2007, he carefully listened to me and understood the situation. Also he cheerfully (sometimes strictly!!) supported me over the long lasting process of application. Without his great contribution, I could not receive the offers from the schools that I applied to.
Though I firmly believe that he has a lot of required talents as the good counselor, his strong analysis of essay questions and accurate guidance on essay contents are his best strengths.
His counseling style is very simple but strong. He lets clients consider, re-write and brush up essays by facilitating clients’ thinking. He does not force his mind-set or writing style. Therefore a client needs to be very proactive and patient to consider and re-write essays repeatedly. Although this is not easy process for busy business persons, it added high persuasiveness and reality to essays. I believe those elements in essays are very important rather than mere grammatical correctness. I need to note that his interview training was very practical and helpful too.
Not as a mere preparation for MBA admissions, I suppose you can obtain good chances to reflect on your past and future through his counseling.
