Our Coaches

Nathaniel is a third-year NUS Law student with a great success rate in assisting previous applicants. He focuses on interview prep and advocacy. Most students either over-script (and sound robotic) or wing it (and lose structure), so he runs drills that teach you to argue clearly under pressure without sounding rehearsed. At NUS, Nathaniel has won multiple accolades, including Top Performing Student in the Law of Torts, Top 10 Mooter of his cohort, and 1st Runner Up in a Cross-Examination moot at Sciences Po, Paris. He currently serves as a Legal Research Assistant for Professor David Tan and has interned with top firms like Dentons Rodyk, WongPartnership, and Drew & Napier. Outside of law, he co-founded a social collective and worked as a bartender at ATLAS.

Gerald graduated from NUS Yong Loo Lin and works in Singapore's public healthcare system. He went through the same admissions process he now coaches for, so he knows what the panels actually look for.

His focus is MMI and Faculty Panel prep. He's good at the stuff most students struggle with: talking about medical ethics without sounding rehearsed, understanding why "I want to help people" falls flat, and knowing how Singapore's healthcare policies (Healthier SG, the aging population, community-based care) come up in interviews. He's coached a number of students through the local shortlisting process and stays in touch with contacts in the NUS medical faculty to keep his interview insights current.

Sherre works in Private Wealth Distribution at S64 Capital. Before that, she held roles in Investment Banking (DCM), Fixed Income, and Private Bank Credit at Citi, CIMB, and BTIG. The range means she can explain the actual differences between desks, not just what a Google search tells you.

She's practical: CV narratives that make sense for specific desks, concise interview answers, and how to convert early insight events into real offers. She also advises on Women in Finance pathways. She holds a BBA (Hons) from NUS, was a competitive canoe sprinter, and went through the Bloomberg Women in Finance program.

Ka Shing is an FX Sales Analyst at Standard Chartered. His background is unusual for a markets person: he studied theatre and music alongside finance at NUS. That actually helps when coaching students on how to talk about markets without sounding like they memorised a textbook.

He's especially good with candidates from non-traditional backgrounds who need help building a credible "why markets" story. He did his BBA in Finance at NUS with an exchange at USC, and interned in Private Banking at Bank of Singapore before landing his current role. He speaks intermediate Japanese and has a WSET Level 2 in Wines, which he says is surprisingly useful at client events.

Arka is a Resident Surgeon at St Thomas' Hospital in London. He did his medicine degree at Cambridge (Triple First Class Honours, MBBChir with Distinction) and went through both the NUS and UK admissions systems before choosing the Cambridge route.

Having done both gives him a useful read on what each system values differently. He can help students weigh up NUS or NTU medicine against Oxbridge, and for those set on the UK route, he covers the scientific reasoning interviews and how to build a "super-curricular" profile that goes beyond CCA leadership. He also co-founded a MedTech startup called AClosure that won multiple innovation awards, which gives him a practical angle on showing initiative in applications.

Vedant is a Corporate Law Clerk at Debevoise & Plimpton in New York. He did his JD at Columbia Law School and his LLB at King's College London.

But he grew up in Singapore and went through NS as an Infantry Officer, so he gets the local context. He's the person to talk to if you're deciding between NUS/SMU Law and applying overseas, or if you need help translating your NS experience into something admissions committees abroad actually understand. He's helped students turn their military experience into genuine personal statement material, which is trickier than it sounds when you're writing for an American admissions committee. He was also a Staff Editor for the Columbia Journal of Asian Law.

Jevan is an incoming Wealth Management Analyst at UBS. He previously interned at the Bank of Singapore and worked his way from smaller roles to top-tier positions, so he knows the progression firsthand.

He helps students plan their internship stacking: which roles to target first, how to network within large banks, and how to pivot from back or middle office to front office. He completed five internships during his BBA at NUS (with an exchange at Concordia) and ran the NUS Sports Committee. He also once worked as a dental assistant, which he claims prepared him well for handling rejection emails.

Christabelle is an incoming Global Markets Analyst at Goldman Sachs. She's worked at Scotiabank and Gunvor in commodities and derivatives, and ranked in the top 20 across APAC in Morgan Stanley's trading simulation.

Her coaching is drill-heavy: mental math, market pitches, and realistic S&T interview simulations where she pushes students until they stop freezing up. She also provides guidance for women's programs and early insight events. An NUS BBA graduate with exchange experience at Yonsei University, she plays five sports and used to be a street dancer in JC.
