Who you will be working with
Every appointment is booked with one named person for the whole slot. If they are booked out we will tell you when they are next free, rather than moving you to somebody else.

Reva Sundaresan
Founder & Principal Adviser · Permanent residency planning
Spent eleven years inside university admissions before concluding that most candidates were being sold the wrong course by people paid to sell it. Founded Northbound to run the advice the other way round.

Marcus Adeyemi
Head of Skilled Migration · Points assessment & skills recognition
Reads assessing-authority guidance for pleasure, which is exactly the personality defect this job requires. Has never lost a case to a formatting error and intends to keep it that way.
-
Hana Kobayashi
Director of Admissions · Course shortlisting & funding
Built the three-tier shortlist method after watching too many candidates apply to five equally ambitious places and receive five rejections in the same fortnight.

Elias Thornbury
Lead Trainer, Test Preparation · IELTS, PTE & speaking craft
Former examiner. Believes almost nobody fails an English test on English — they fail on not knowing which descriptor they are missing, which is a solvable problem.
-
Nadia Farouk
Case Manager, Settlement · Post-landing & family cases
Handles the first ninety days after arrival, on the grounds that a visa nobody can build a life on is not much of a result. Keeps playbooks for all nine destinations.

Tomas Ilves
Compliance & Quality · File review & refusal analysis
Reviews every file before lodgement and every refusal afterwards. The second job is what makes him good at the first one.

Start with an assessment
An hour, your documents, and a straight answer about which routes are realistic. If we do not think we can help, we will say so and there is nothing to pay.
