Parents of Gauri (UCL - 2025 entry)
​
We are really thankful for University advice for our daughter from Martin. He truly understood her personality and provided her with appropriate guidance and support throughout the process. Martin was able to help us shortlist and guide us through the different application processes across three countries, and with his help, she was accepted at all the universities to which she applied.
We would not hesitate to go back for our son.
Student H (Oxford University - 2023 entry)​

Retrospectively, sessions with Martin are reminiscent of the Oxford tutorial — I learned to defend personal statements like I would tutorial essays. Martin is dedicated and thorough, drawing on his wealth of personal experience with institutions of higher education to provide incisive commentary on each piece of writing that passes into his hands.
Lily (Durham University - 2022 entry)

I am forever grateful for everything Mr. Campion has done for me. Having received no support from my school and being told I would never get into university, Mr. Campion stepped in at the eleventh hour and restored my confidence. He was not only intelligent and insightful but, most importantly, incredibly kind and caring. He took the time to ensure I felt happy and confident with my application, which resulted in four out of five university offers and an interview with Oxford. I would not be at university today without Mr. Campion's expertise and can-do attitude. I can assure anyone seeking advice that they will be in incredibly safe hands with Mr. Campion.

Ariq (Yale - Class of 2020)

Mr. Campion’s philosophy of keeping an open mind drew me to Yale. Without his advice, I would never have applied to Yale, nor would I have applied for the right reasons - his thorough questioning on why I wanted to apply to Yale strengthened my conviction that it would be the best university for me.
His limitless knowledge of global educational trends has catapulted students to numerous destinations around the world, many of which are places students used to think were out of reach. Indeed, look at where I am now.

Parents of Do Hee (Caltech) and Sang Joon (Wharton School, U Penn)
We have heard from our children, and personally witnessed, the tremendous amount you have given to the students every year and we are humbled by your dedication. You have helped open doors of opportunity in education which my family never thought possible. We feel you have given the greatest gift to our children.

Daniel (Emmanuel College, Cambridge and Prince Philip Scholar)
Mr. Campion's support for my university and scholarship applications was outstanding. He provided a clear timeline of the process and personalised advice to nudge me in the right direction, as I thought about the future. What I found most useful was that he emphasised finding a long term fit and developing transferable skills, while also providing advice on the short term goal of university admissions.

Wendy (Medicine, University of Hong Kong)
I am just really thankful to Mr. Campion. He is very sensible and experienced but, more than that, he stimulated me to think holistically and helped me develop the skills and confidence to attain my goal. I grew so much in the process of making university choices, writing applications to preparing for interviews and I know that the things I learnt from him are lifelong.
​​Shirley (University of Oxford)
Thank you so much for all the support and insightful guidance you've given me...I would not have gotten where I am today without it. You have helped me discover potential I didn't know I possessed and it has helped me come so far.

Kevin Pereira, Managing Director Financial Services, Blu Artificial Intelligence
Martin was my career counselor in Year 13 at South Island School in Hong Kong. At the time, I was still unsure of whether I wanted to go to the UK or the US for university, but his in depth knowledge of both locations as higher education destinations, as well as his relationships with representatives from top schools was a wonderful guiding light in the process. Even with the applications themselves, he was a great sounding board for essay topics and other general advice. His deep commitment to students also shone through after my freshman year in the US, as he helped me with my successful transfer application to the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania despite the fact that I was no longer a student at SIS.
I’d highly recommend Martin to help you or your child through the process, and I’ll always be grateful to him for his help in getting me into my dream university!
