My son is currently a junior at a high school in the East coast, and has been working with Shahrukh since his freshman year. We interviewed several counselors until we found him.
Shahrukh is a kind, calm and patient who cares my son’s growth genuinely, He was helping my son find right extracurricular activities and a research program that match his interests. He gives clear direction on anything we ask him about, we’re lucky to have him as our mentor.

Sharukh is excellent
Sharukh is excellent: attentive, engaged, holistic in his approach. He works well with high achievers. We interviewed several counselors until we found the right fit, we could not be happier with Sharukh.

Shahrukh is No. 1
Shahrukh is a super kind and helpful instructor who cares genuinely and deeply about his students and their success. What makes him so great is his calmness and patience, and his ability to reassure you when you have doubts about yourself. I think all his students would agree with me when I say that we’re lucky to have him as our mentor.

Shahrukh Malik is an excellent counselor
My entire time working with Shahrukh has been amazing; he takes time with everything he does, and he has a great amount of patience. He has been very helpful in my college application process, from guiding me with essay writing, and motivating me to do my best regardless of my doubts. I enjoy working with Shahrukh very much!

Kate C is an excellent counselor and Empowerly is awesome!!
My daughter got accepted into top tech schools like Caltech, UC Berkeley, Georgia Tech etc for Engineering. This wouldn't have been possible without the support of Empowerly and especially Kathie (Kate C). Kathie was a remarkable counselor who clearly understood my daughter's needs, strengths, goals, and helped her to prepare and strategize her college application. Kate C provided valuable and practical input towards courses, extracurriculars, college list, activity list, essay plan and structure. She answered all our questions with care and thought. Her counseling greatly helped my daughter view the big picture, gain clarity and make the right decisions during her high school journey. I would highly recommend Kate C as a counselor for students interested in pursuing STEM majors in college.
I also want to give a shout out to the essay editing team (Analise, Mandy, Jane Ju and others) who supported the essay process by giving prompt and useful feedback . The essay dashboard in Empowerly is very helpful, but needs to have a feature where a student can reply and ask follow-up questions to the essay editor. I already recommended Empowerly to my friends and they have enrolled. Thanks!!

Thank you Empowerly and Mr. Ronnie Medure!
Empowerly's services helped me greatly throughout my college application process with all of their support and resources. My counselor, Mr. Ronnie Medure, helped me get into the colleges I was aiming for and expertly guided me as I crafted my essays and extracurricular portfolio. With their assistance, I was able to get into many colleges like UC Berkeley, UC Santa Barbara, University of Washington, etc. I highly recommend their services to anyone who is looking for college counseling!
