Overseas admissions, AO admissions, future researchers
Research mentoring for high school students
Our founder holds a Ph.D. in science from the University of Tokyo, is a faculty member at one of Japan's former Imperial Universities, and has worked in both computational and experimental science. He works with each student's goals and character, and designs an in silico drug-discovery research plan and admissions support through conversation.

HOW WE WORK
How it proceeds
Overseas admissions and AO admissions place a great deal of weight on research experience. We focus on visible outcomes — presenting the work and writing it up as a paper — and do the research together as a mentor.
- 1
Sort out the present situation and the goal
We review the student's interests, prior experience, target schools and admissions timeline, then define the outcome they want to achieve through research.
- 2
Design the research plan
We choose a topic suited to the student's interests and experience, then work backwards from a presentation or publication to create a realistic plan.
- 3
Weekly meetings
A weekly meeting is used to review progress and agree on the next tasks. Students can also ask questions on Discord at any time between meetings.
- 4
Conference presentation
We help select a suitable conference and support the abstract, slides and presentation practice so the student can communicate the work clearly.
- 5
Publication
We shape the results into a paper and support figure preparation, writing and journal selection, working together toward a completed manuscript.
VOICE
Student testimonial
I had been pursuing my research with support from my teachers at school, but I often struggled with its direction and how to move it forward. Feeling that there was a limit to how far I could continue on my own, I applied for research mentoring.
Through the mentoring, I received careful guidance on everything from framing the research question and reviewing the literature to selecting research methods. By working through issues I had not noticed on my own, one at a time, I was able to deepen my research.
As a result, I presented my findings at a conference and received an award. The project also led to a research collaboration with a university, giving me an opportunity to develop the work even further.
I would strongly recommend applying to any high school student who is interested in research but does not know where to begin, or who is unsure how to move their research forward!
