Who We Are?


Have you ever wondered what you might excel at exceeding your expectation and others? We, unfortunately, young or old, could potentially misjudge and mis-assess our own strengths and weaknesses.

When we misjudge ourselves or lack self-awareness, our unique qualities as individuals are ignored. In turn, the chance to become successful may slip out of our reach. We at 1st Guru, are a group of thriving young professionals, who have not only succeeded academically but currently thrive in our selected careers. 

With an understanding of at least two cultures and very different people we met on our journey, we have not only built upon everything we have learned but also everyday scenarios. We have always strived to build important friendships, work connections and personal relationships to make our process personalised.

We want to share with you the wisdom we have gained along this journey, helping you to make the right decisions and impressions when you try to embark on your studies at your ideal university.

Our Mission


Our mission is to help you turn your university and career dreams into reality. Our approach to achieving this is to focus on your long-term career goals and capabilities from the very start.

Our process also helps to identify your strengths, weaknesses and opportunities so that we can build a comprehensive strategy to get you into your ideal university.

We want to help you make the right decision to set you on the path of success towards your ideal career.

Together, we’ll identify what matters to you most in your future and help you reach where you belong!

Our Story


Most of our advisors are from outside the UK with English as our second language, though despite this, we have studied at top-ranked UK universities and are currently fulfilling challenging positions within both UK and US industry-leading companies.

The journey from where we were before to where we are now has not been a straight path. Through our differences in culture, background and race, we have learned that we have one thing in common: passion for what we do professionally.

Being passionate about what we do is the simplest, most important element of our character.

It is this passion that drives us to help you pursue and secure your place in the area of study and work that you are most interested in. Using our unique experiences and perspectives, we can provide an insider advantage so that you can stay ahead and lead on your selected path.

We hope to help you with one of the most profound life decisions you are about to make, which will ripple through your adulthood.
With various offices across the world, we guarantee the same energetic vibe and stand united in our shared goal to empower 1st Guru students to be the best that they can possibly be.
