Leah · Management consultant
Prepare for interviews · Mock interview
Amaka continues to be the most effective coach I have worked with. Together, we identify my weak spots, address them directly, and get to the root of any challenges. Amaka also provides valuable tools, resources, and notes for post-session practice, which help me internalize and apply what I’ve learned.

Amaka was especially helpful with my PEIs (behavioral for McKinsey)! Her feedback on a mock case was also very detailed and actionable.
