Sumaiya helped our eldest successfully gain entrance to several selective universities. She came to our house to meet with our daughter and her insight was invaluable she helped our daughter determine her true goals and shape her extra-curricular and service experiences to maximize her opportunities to attend colleges that excited her. Sumaiyas guidance helped our daughter to choose where to apply and to write admissions essays that spoke from the heart in her own voice with gentle editing and essay subjects informed by Sumaiyas long experience and successes. She helped us to understand the world of undergraduate institutions and admissions as well as the strengths of our daughters applications which significantly reduced our stress. Even if we were not both working and had all the time in the world we would not have been able to add value to our daughters college search and application the way that Sumaiya did. It was such a relief to feel like we were helping our daughter have her best chance to get into a university she would love-- which is exactly what she did. Finally we found Sumaiya to be very easy to work with she was flexible affordable and most importantly our daughter liked her We are now employing Sumaiya to help our middle child.

Ms. Olatunde is an amazing college consultant. She helped me throughout my entire college application process. She gave me great guidance on how to write my essays and answer the questions on each application. She also is excellent with interview preparation and building resumes. She is very thorough with everything and makes sure that your strengths are highlighted throughout your application. She knows exactly how to help a student figure out what is best for them and where they will succeed. She ensures that your application for every school is the best that it can be. Highly recommend her

Ms. Sumaiya Olatunde is EXCELLENT. She is thorough detailed and incredibly knowledgeable of the college admissions process. Her ability to really pierce through all of the details within a high school students profile transcripts grades coursework activities etc. and then pierce through their desires emotions and opinions in order to devise a game plan for the student on what is best for himher is unparalleled.Ms. Olatunde really has a unique ability that enables her students to think critically and honestly about their short-term and long-term interests. She immediately is able to build trust with her students and then is able to guide them through a stress-free application process.Moreover Ms. Olatunde is an amazing writer who can help a student tremendously in putting their thoughts and words into an appropriate essay one that is written in the right high school voice and written in a way to match the students personality.I am also impressed at how much perspective Ms. Olatunde is able to give a student and how well she is able to connect with them so quickly. She makes you feel so at ease in-person and through email and she makes you become at peace with the process which is so important.She is also incredibly responsive through email communication.We were very lucky to have her available and we highly recommend her to any high school student who needs essay help and college application and career guidance.I cannot think of a better educational consultant out there than Ms. Olatunde.

I recommend H2D consulting services with all my heart. They are professional highly competent creative driven and provided our family with successful results.We needed a miracle and Sumaiya Olatunde at H2D services was able to provide one. We used H2D services when my son was denied entry into a highly sought after French Immersion program for not passing his 2nd grade French admission exam. We were called off the waiting list a week before the start of school and rushed our son in to test the next day given our confidence in his mastery of the French language. He performed poorly on the exam just shy of passing and was therefore denied entry to their program. This was a total shock to our family given the huge investment over the last three years with French private school and how bright and successful our son was.We immediately appealed their decision and hired H2D to achieve apositive outcome. H2D guided us every step of the way through our sons trying and very difficult admissions process. Their knowledge of the school systems hierarchy standards and regulations were instrumental in our effort. Over a period of several months we were counseled and represented with great zeal energy and advocacy. Our son was ultimately admitted to the program and we are forever grateful to H2D for their service. I highly recommend them for any school admission needs.

I worked with Sumaiya over past few months for my graduate admission. I couldnt thank her enough for helping me to go through with the process. She is very patient and really try her best to help her students. She gave me not only very useful advice for my graduate program but also advice for my future career. Her guidance is the main factor that I am able to be admitted in my dream school. I will definitely recommend her as educational consultant.

Amazing company with outstanding service. When every door closed H2D Counseling opened them for me. I had a very complex situation with my oldest son. I was losing hope for his future. He was not only admitted to the school of his choice but with scholarships. I cannot thank H2D Counseling enough I highly recommend to anyone who is going to Undergraduate Graduate as well as High school admissions for private education.
