The idea behind TEB Academy was born out of my experiences living in Aruba, throughout my middle and high school years. Aruba is a beautiful oasis in the Dutch West Indies, but it is not particularly known as a place where you can get a college preparatory education. In Aruba, I had a mentor and college advisor that allowed me to get into UCLA. 

At TEB, our vision is to provide personalized, student-friendly, and affordable college, graduate, and professional school advising that gets results. We even the playing field between those students who go to the top prep schools and those that don't, like me in Aruba. We realize that getting into a top undergraduate or medical school as a domestic or international student is not easy and extends beyond just test scores and GPA. You need an excellent personal statement, letters of recommendation, and most importantly, contacts, communication skills, and the kind of strategy that will get you in and help you succeed as a student once at your dream school.

I invite you to learn more about us. I guarantee you that we will exceed your expectations. Every one of our consultants including myself are working professionals that choose to help students as a passion and hobby. After medical school at UCLA, I became a hospital CEO. I can assure you I would never have gotten this far had it not been for the advice and caring heart of those advisors in Aruba who gave me a chance to achieve my dreams. Join us and change your destiny!
