Effective tools for better results.

Applying to college takes approximately a year and a half- from taking standardized tests and creating a college list to accepting a spot at the college of your dreams. At TaurusCoach, we help you manage the lengthy process with a sense of security and direction. We designed each of our  programs based on the belief in peer mentoring aided by powerful organizational tools.

Private community of other applicants & mentors

The Self-preparation Journey Is Hard.
Doubts. Loneliness. Knowledge gaps.
No direct access to experts. No fellow applicants for support.
No accountability partners. Unsure about the path. No one to celebrate your successes.

Community makes it easier.
Inside the community, international applicants like you come together to support one another,
get answers to burning questions, learn from experts, share ideas and challenges, and more.

Mei

Mei is a student in her second-to-last year of high school, looking to apply to colleges in the United States. She feels she has great organizational skills, and has already started writing essays for her applications. She plans to apply to a handful of colleges, so she knows that by preparing well in advance, she will be able to complete her applications in time. However, Mei is concerned that she may miss important information about the college application process in the United States. Her family is especially concerned about the complex process of applying for financial aid as an international student.

We recommend: Premium-Insider Program
Mei can get weekly information about applying to the US directly in her inbox. An all-access pass to TaurusCoach content allows Mei’s family to watch webinars on specific parts of the application process, including applying for financial aid.

Looking for end-to-end guidance...

It’s October, and Aditya is in his last year of high school. He has been writing college application essays for a while, but isn’t sure he is portraying himself accurately through these essays. He wants to talk to an expert who has been in his position to refine both his personal statement and his college-specific essays.

We recommend: On-Demand Mentoring
By scheduling appointments with one of our student-mentors, who are experts in college writing and have gone through the process of applying themselves, Aditya would get the chance to perfect his essays within his own time frame. Aditya may also book an appointment with a mentor to make sure he is portraying himself in the best possible light throughout his application.
