How It Works
Your university admissions counselor is Brad Kremer.
When you work with Adansonia, you work with me directly, from the first conversation through to enrollment. All my services are delivered in accordance with NACAC’s Guide to Ethical Practice in College Admission and IECA’s Principles of Good Practice.
I guide students through every phase of preparing for college:
- identifying their strengths and preferences in academic subject areas
- choosing courses that align with your child’s career aspirations
- discussing what life is like for university students in different geographies and settings
- developing a long list of options before narrowing it to a shortlist of universities that s/he will apply to
- building personal profiles that go beyond what your child has done in school
- supporting teacher references to align with your child’s desired narrative
- writing impactful personal statements
- navigating the application process to universities in Australia, the UK, Canada, continental Europe, and the USA
- choosing the best fit school for each student
Adansonia Educational Consulting is an independent university counseling consultancy serving internationally mobile families and third-culture kids applying to universities in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, continental Europe, and more. I am a member of the National Association of College Admissions Counselors (NACAC) and the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA).
Since 2023, the students I work with have been accepted into more than 50 universities and colleges in 13 different countries!
Client Testimonials
Don’t take my word for it. Here’s what my clients say:
Ben P.
Parent of a Year 12 student
“Having recently acquired British Citizenship, we were uncertain about our status and which application route to pursue. Brad outlined alternate pathways, highlighting the pitfalls and benefits of each. The knowledge Brad gave us changed our perception and opened possibilities.”
Anna B.
Secondary School Principal
“Brad treats every student and family with profound respect and decency. He is notably sensitive to the individual strengths, cultural values, and specific needs of the families he serves. Brad views his role as a true advisor and coach. He does not simply ‘place’ students; he encourages them to reflect, questions their assumptions, and coaches them to express the very best of themselves.”
Sara O.
Parent
“Brad supported us through the most stressful part of my son’s journey, his late decision-making. As times tightened, Sam was struggling to commit and we were increasingly concerned about his options becoming limited. Brad showed remarkable patience and constraint in guiding him.”
Rosa R.

Sreyroth S.
