Choosing the right school is one of the most important-and personal-decisions a student and their family will make. At ES Advising, we understand how overwhelming the admissions process can feel, and we’re here to make it clear, calm, and confidence-building. With a boutique, high-touch approach, we work closely with students and families to navigate every step-from school selection to final decisions-with care, strategy, and heart.
Our students have applied to schools and programs across the globe—from engineering, science, and business to fine arts, law, and beyond. With experience navigating a wide range of admissions systems, we understand the unique complexities of applying to schools in different countries and the specific requirements that come with each. Whether it’s preparing for competitive entry exams, meeting country-specific academic standards, or crafting a standout application, we guide students every step of the way to help them achieve their goals.
We understand how important it is to find a school and program that truly fit you. Every student is unique, and we tailor our approach to reflect that. The right school can shape a student’s entire experience, and we’re here to help you find the place where you’ll thrive.

I’m Emma Slobodzian, the founder of ES Advising. Although my career first began in the classroom, I quickly discovered that my true passion lies in guiding students through the college and university admissions process. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping hardworking students achieve their dreams and seeing the joy that comes with each acceptance letter.
As a proud graduate of both undergraduate and graduate programs at McGill University, I understand firsthand the excitement—and nerves—that come with applying to competitive schools. I still remember the feeling of opening my own acceptance letters, and I bring that same empathy and enthusiasm to every student I work with.
At ES Advising, we offer personalized, thoughtful support for prep school, college, and graduate school applicants. My goal is to help students find the right fit, tell their unique story, and approach the admissions journey with confidence and clarity.
