Last year Elena helped me to enroll the University of the Queensland, she was so responsible person and helped me with the whole procedure.
I am really satisfied with Elena's professional approach. Her support, counseling and commitment were on a very high level through the whole process of gathering documents and visa application.
I would like to thank Elena on the amazing service she gave me through the whole process. This was huge step for me and in every moment I had Elena's full support.
Elena helped us to fulfill our dreams so I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is thinking of studying and living in Australia. She was extremely professional during the whole procedure and visa application so it was my pleasure to work with her.
Very professional, quick in processing all documents, available on the phone and via email at any time, responsive and pleasant to work with!
Elena is a wonderful person who was patently answering on all questions and who was not giving false hope. She was always positive and trustworthy.
