We understand that every student’s journey is unique.

Meet The Founder

Lara Butera

Founder Lara Butera brings over a decade of experience in educational consulting, providing highly personalized guidance to students and families navigating important academic decisions. Originally from the United States, Lara has developed an exceptional depth of knowledge in U.S. schools, universities, and educational pathways, helping students identify opportunities that align with their unique strengths, goals, and aspirations.


Known for her thoughtful, individualized approach, Lara works closely with each client to provide tailored support throughout every stage of the educational journey—from school selection and academic planning to college admissions and long-term success strategies.


Her global perspective is shaped by years living and working abroad, including in Seoul, South Korea, Shanghai, China, and now Lisbon, Portugal, where she currently resides. While her expertise has historically centered on U.S. schools and programs, her base in Europe has allowed her to expand her practice to include extensive knowledge of the European and UK educational landscapes, offering families a uniquely informed, international perspective.
