About Us

Our Why

Education was not keeping up, so we built something that does.

Too many students were sorted by rankings and outdated systems, and pushed toward paths that did not reflect who they were or where the world was going. We built Zenith to change that.

We are a modern, connected partner who can see the whole picture and then zoom back in on your own path. A team that gets it, and stays by your side.

Meet Our Founder

Serge Nader

With a background across strategy consulting, technology, and academic guidance, Serge Nader, Founder and CEO, built Zenith around a different approach: human, structured, and looking forward rather than back.

He studied at Imperial College London and LSE, and previously worked at Strategy&, PwC, and Amazon Web Services.

“We watched students fall behind while whole industries moved ahead. Zenith exists to close that gap, pairing structured guidance with the speed the world now runs at.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about how we work.

General

What does Zenith do?
We guide students across the full arc from school to university to career: applications, personal strategy, and longer-term planning aimed at where the world is heading. We pay particular attention to emerging industries and the careers taking shape now, because education has to keep up with a world that is changing fast.
Who do you work with?
Students from 16+ countries, their families, and the schools and educators who want clearer, smarter guidance for their students.
How are you different from other consultancies?
We combine admissions expertise with real industry insight, and we work transparently around each student's goals. We are also one of the few that stays with you end to end, including the practical side of moving abroad.
Are you an agency?
No. We are a consultancy, which means our guidance is unbiased and built around what is right for the student, never driven by commission. If you already know exactly the program and university you want, we can point you to companies that can help you apply for free when that university is on their partner list.

Our services

What does Zenith offer?
Career exploration and direction, profile building, university applications (UCAS, Common App, Parcoursup, direct entry, and more), essay and CV work, interview preparation, internship planning, exam and test preparation through our partners, workshops, and guidance on admin, visa, and housing. All of it shaped around the student.
Do you help with scholarships or financial aid?
Yes. We help students find and apply for merit scholarships, need-based aid, and third-party funding where it exists, across countries and institutions.
Can I just book a consultation to start?
Yes, and it is free. It is a chance for us to understand your situation and show you how we can help. No pressure, no obligation.
How does it work and what does it involve?
It depends on the level of support you need. We scope each engagement clearly and explain everything before anything begins. No surprises, no hidden terms.

Reach and flexibility

What countries and universities do you cover?
We can support applications to any university open to international students: the US, UK, Canada, Europe (France, Spain, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and others), Asia, Australia, and beyond, across UCAS, Common App, direct entry, Parcoursup, and country-specific platforms. We work closely with many institutions, which can speed up access, and our recommendations stay fully independent.
What languages do you work in?
English, French, Arabic, and Spanish, depending on the student's region and preference.
I already know the program and university I want. Can you just help with that?
Yes. When the scope is very well defined, we can build a tailored package, such as a Local package for a single country or a single university. Reach out and we will work through the details.
For schools: how do we bring Zenith in?
Book a demo. We will set up the Zen Test and Career Explorer for your students, give your counselors a cohort dashboard, and agree a calendar of masterclasses.
