TESTIMONIALS
"Mr Widemann has been my valuable university counsellor and mentor throughout both my US and UK application processes. His sharp-eyed view on my essays and experience of what the admission officers were looking for benefitted my application strength hugely. Above all, the mental support I received during extremely stressful times was unparalleled to any other agencies that I was involved with, because I felt it genuinely."
Pham Bui Gia Han
"Mr. Widemann is a 3 in 1 person, a friend, a university guidance counsellor and a life advice giver."
Phung Quang Hai Anh
"Mr Berni is a very dedicated counselor with a lot of experience. He not only supported me with my application to make sure everything was on track, but also helped me choose the school that fit me best. He guided me through my personal statement in every little detail and made me write it better than I thought possible. It was perfect."
Nguyen Trong Dat
"Mr Berni was my counsellor during my final two high school years and he helped me a lot during that time, especially during my application process to EHL in Switzerland, which is one of the top hospitality universities in the world. He is a very caring counsellor and he is great at guiding the students into their future in higher education."
Nguyen Duc Viet
"Mr. Widemann is and always will be the most incredible councellor I have ever met. He is very compassionate, cheery, and eager to assist anyone in need. Conversing with him is made simpler by his warm demeanor and ability to generate an alleviating and tranquil mood. Most significantly, he has assisted me in identifying answers and alternative approaches to problems at the most difficult moments of my University career."
Pham Ngoc Le Saito
"Berni is a kind and diligent individual who is a pleasure to be around. When it comes down to Berni’s work, he is a patient and considerate person. I have known Berni for 2 years now as his student and he has guided me through university plans and has given me a sense of direction for my future. I highly respect Berni’s values which are student well-being and support within all aspects that fall within University guidance. As one approaches their next steps in life they need an individual that has experience, forbearing, and excellent at their job and I would say Berni has all of these qualities."
Kacey Shepley-Clarke
"During my final year at BVIS, Mr Berni greatly supported me with the writing of my personal statement for my university application. With his help, I received offers from all of my university choices. He also gave me essential advice for my future university life, such as accommodation, financial tips, etc. His advice has reduced lots of pressure for me during the final exam season, knowing that I am ready for my next life chapter."
Nguyen Cong Minh Duc
Applying to universities is collective effort between the student and the counselor and I can confidently say Mr Widemann is an incredible teammate. Despite having to manage multiple cohorts, he ensures each student receives personalised support and he particularly prioritises those that equally care to collaborate. This dedication makes him more than a university counselor; he is as much of a mentor as a friend. Sessions with him feel like productive hangouts. Under all the laughs and his witty remarks, our conversations have challenged and expanded my perspectives on life and even my own identity, which is fundamental in a time of deep self-exploration for college essay writing - a key to getting into top schools. On top of having expertise in university requirements, he also has a valuable professional network that has eventually led me to connect with the Senior Regional Manager of the University of Melbourne. In brief, if you as the student pull your weight, Mr Widemann is a fantastic team player that will help you succeed in the stressful university admission process.
Pham Linh Dan
"Mr Widemann is not only a very resourceful and helpful counsellor but his colourful and inviting personality made my university application process enjoyable and rewarding. With his help, I felt comfortable discussing my interest, exploring my options and choosing a university that I am most satisfied with. As a counsellor, Mr Widemann is very knowledgeable and well-connected with universities in Asia, the USA, the UK and Europe, which provided me, as an architecture applicant, many opportunities to connect with actual admission officers that helped strengthen both my portfolio and application. I am very grateful to have had Mr Widemann's support over the past 2 years."
