Really Helpful and Knowledgeable

Though I haven't really been with Crimson for a lot of time, I can definitely say that Crimson sure has helped me with things beyond just building my EC-profiles. It has helped me learn from supportive mentors and has largely expanded horizons of what I thought I could do, adding more knowledge than just titles for college application.

Crimson - Best in the business

Crimson has helped cater to all the demands an aspiring high school student would have; from guidance from academics and testing to project building and overall profile building. A variety of highly experienced mentors guiding you through every step of the way providing an experience personal to address your needs and attend your dream college. Would highly recommend to all high school students that dream big.

I appreciate my strategist and essay mentor’s great support.

I like working with my strategist and essay mentor very much. They gave me sincere advice and feedback, then leave me to decide. Whatever I decide and act on I have their support all the time. They gave me substantial support. I can’t imagine how my application process is going without them.

Mentors

My mentors have been so patient, understanding, and caring throughout this entire journey. Though I’m not fully done with my application cycle yet, receiving general application guidance and essay-refining support has been incredibly helpful. The feedback opportunities through the Essay Review Team and with former admissions officers have also helped me significantly in finding my voice through my writing.

Great experience with Crimson

Our experience with Crimson has been excellent — from comprehensive college planning and major selection to detailed guidance on summer programs and extracurricular exploration. The team is professional, highly supportive, and truly inspiring. I would strongly recommend them to any high school student seeking guidance in college admissions to help realize their full potential.

Top-Notch Guidance

My daughter is currently a 9th grader, and my husband and I had been searching for a trustworthy college consulting agency since she was in 8th grade. A friend recommended Crimson, and we attended two of their online events. It was genuine, informative, and very helpful. Their team explained clearly how they guide students toward top universities, and former Crimson students shared their real experiences, which gave us a lot of confidence.
After the event, we were contacted by our coordinator, Mr. Alen. From the beginning, he was friendly, understanding, and very aware of our cultural and educational background. He quickly recognized my daughter’s passion for dance and art and helped form our support team with our Student Success Manager, Ms. Yumi, and our College Admission Strategy Consultant, Mr. Kevin.
My daughter meets with Mr. Kevin monthly, and over the past four months, they have discussed academic planning, club selection, extracurricular and volunteer activities, educational masterclass options, and even 2026 summer programs. After every meeting, I receive a clear summary, which I truly appreciate. When my daughter began struggling with time management—something many students face when transitioning from middle school to high school—both Ms. Yumi and Mr. Kevin were incredibly supportive.
I’m especially grateful for Ms. Yumi’s attentive communication and her efficient coordination between us and Mr. Kevin. Meanwhile, Mr. Kevin’s personalized strategies and thoughtful guidance have helped my daughter grow not only academically but also emotionally. Even though our long-term goal is to support her journey toward top colleges, the guidance and support she has received from Mr. Kevin so far has already shown us that Crimson is the right choice for our family
As parents, we all know teenagers don’t always want to hear advice from us—but they do listen to adults they trust. I’m thankful that Mr. Kevin has become that trusted mentor for her. 🌱✨ We look forward to her continued progress in the next four years with the help of the wonderful Crimson team. 🙏💫

A Heartfelt Thank You to Crimson’s team

A Heartfelt Thank You to Khun Nabil, Miss Claire, and Khun Thita & Khun Duke
We are beyond grateful to have had Khun Nabil as Anika’s essay mentor. From day one, he brought out the best in Anika, not only as a writer, but as a thinker. A great essay mentor is someone who sees the unique potential in each student, listens deeply, gives precise feedback, and pushes students to find their own voice. Khun Nabil was all of that.
He was patient, insightful, and incredibly organized. He helped Anika shape her personal story into something both authentic and compelling. His comments were always constructive, and he struck the perfect balance between encouragement and challenge. Every session left Anika feeling more confident and inspired. It was clear he really cared about her growth, not just the outcome.
We also want to deeply thank Miss Claire, Anika’s strategist, who laid out a brilliant big-picture plan and always reminded us of the why behind each activity. She guided Anika with clarity, empathy, and sharp strategic thinking. Miss Claire’s ability to align Anika’s strengths with the requirements of each university made the entire process feel manageable and purposeful.
Lastly, Khun Thita and Khun Duke, the student managers, ensured everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. With their calm and steady presence, they were proactive, always one step ahead, and consistently supportive.
This team gave Anika more than just college guidance help, they gave her a safe space to explore her identity, grow her confidence, and present herself in the best light. We cannot thank the team enough.
If you’re looking for a team that will go above and beyond for your child’s success, this is the one you can trust with your whole heart.

Highly recommend

As a student at Crimson Education, I’ve found their support incredibly helpful. Everyone is super kind, attentive, and genuinely willing to help you with your goals. They guide you step by step and make the whole process much clearer and less stressful. Even though I haven’t applied to universities yet, I already feel much more confident and prepared thanks to their guidance. Highly recommend!

Highly professional, supportive and experienced

I started with Crimson roughly 6-7 months ago and they've helped me accomplish so much since then. I was able to complete a research paper through their Indigo Research mentorship, receive tutoring for the SAT and strengthen my application in other ways through the support of my strategist, success manager and tutor. Crimson is a highly professional organisation that has helped me strengthen my university application in a fairly limited amount of time. Their expertise is of great value for anyone looking to apply to university.

Crimson is more than a university application guide

Crimson has helped me with a lot more than just a college application. They have helped me apply to competitions all over the world while reminding me of the importance of balance. They are worth every cent as you get one on one help whenever you need it for everything. The people on the crimson team are very kind and never fail to deliver. I couldn't recommend them more to anyone applying to a top university or an overseas university.

Crimson education

One of the best things we decided to do was join crimson. As an international student the thought of studying abroad is more than daunting, but through crimsons exceptional help and guidance, my application process was smooth and stress free! All the tutors I met through crimson are such lovely people who helped me create quality results in my essays and applications. In all seriousness, without crimson the thought of applying to my dream college would seem ludicrous, crimson has given me the confidence, the skills and the resources to help make my dreams a reality.

With guidance and support from…

With guidance and support from Crimsion’s team of college admissions experts, my daughter felt prepared when she submitted her early round of applications. Although the results are not available yet, I am glad that we’ve hired a knowledgeable and dedicated team that consists of experts in different areas to minimize mistakes/blind spots in the college application process.

Crimson Goes Above and Beyond!

We are so grateful we hired Crimson to help our son with his goal of getting into a top tier college! Our son’s team of professionals had his best interest at heart and, because of their experience and expertise, they provided him the guidance he needed to present the most competitive college applications possible. They provided quality feedback and guidance that we couldn’t have found anywhere else, and each team member made themselves readily available. We are so very thankful for this assistance Crimson provided. We could never have navigated this stressful and tedious process without their help!
