What our clients say about Elina
Aliona
Thank you for the detailed analysis of my questions and the recommendations provided. I really liked Elina's approach of "doing it as if for herself." All the answers were thoroughly thought out! This is very valuable!
Marina
The consultation with Elina exceeded our expectations. There was nothing to criticize. We have experience with admission consultations, so we have a basis for comparison. Before the consultation, we sent Elina the questions and requests that were of interest to us. In turn, Elina asked clarifying questions. The consultation was constructive, productive, and straight to the point, following the plan Elina had prepared. She was fully prepared.
Initially, Elina explained to my daughter what the work of a lawyer and an attorney in France entails, how this field is structured (as per our prior request, in plain language, with examples, not just textbook theory, and she described a day in the life of a lawyer). Then, Elina outlined the pros and cons of several areas in the legal field that we had identified for ourselves and asked her to cover. She presented a detailed overview of one of the directions we were considering: universities offering bachelor’s programs in the area of interest to us were highlighted, links to the program were provided, and information about the city, its ranking, the cost of living there (with links), the university’s location, its condition and facilities, and more was provided.
Every step was tailored to our previously communicated wishes and requests. After the consultation, Elina sent us several other useful links. We sincerely recommend her!
