What People Say

Noha Z.
We had a great experience with StEPS UAE. They offered us a free initial consultation, which was very helpful in guiding us through our university search. The advisor, Mrs. Saima, was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely interested in understanding my teen’s strengths and aspirations. We left the session feeling more confident and clear about the next steps.

Yousra Ismail
Excellent session, very organized, detailed and informative with time for questions. Thank you so much.

Najla Faisal Al Awadhi
I would highly recommend Mrs. Saima’s company Steps UAE.I had a very productive and enjoyable consultation session with Mrs. Saima, she offered it for free and took her time to answer so many questions I had. Mrs. Saima is a joy to speak with, she not only has the professional experience, but also as a mother herself has successfully seen her children through to prestigious universities Mrs. Saima is really focused on what is best for the child, she is very child centered, and really gives honest and effective advice that helps empower the child holistically. My child is still too young to begin academic counseling but once my child is old enough I will definitely reach out to Steps UAE and Mrs. Saima again.

Muna Mahmood
It was a wonderful experience to interact with Ms. Saima. She made me explore my mind and my career choices while I was looking to resume my career. She has way to guiding you towards pathways you couldn’t see yourself.

Rudhra Harish
Steps has been an incredible support to my university application process. They helped me through my personal statement, entrance tests and my university choices. The one to one guidance, regular sessions and seminars aided in my understanding of this tedious journey.

Sana Mir
I had the privilege of working with Ms. Saima through her online sessions, and the experience has been extremely valuable. She guided me step by step, first by helping me choose the right course that aligned with my future aspirations, then by shortlisting universities that were the best fit for me while also keeping scholarships in mind. When it came to my personal statement, her support was unmatched. From identifying what experiences I should include, to reviewing and ensuring cohesion, she simplified a process that initially felt overwhelming. She was always approachable, patient, and ready to answer any question I had, no matter how small. Thanks to her guidance, I felt confident throughout my university application journey. I would highly recommend STEP and Ms. Saima to any student seeking personalized, clear, and effective support.

Preethi Majithia
I don’t know where to begin, I was confused as a parent about what my child wanted to do but when Saima took over, things just fell in place. She made the process very fluid. Saima’s knowledge is extensive, she is always on top of things, very approachable and efficient. Cannot thank her and her team enough.

Maleha Jaffer
If you are looking for a motivational coach, life coach, education counselor, relationship coach all in one, Saima of StEPS UAE is your person. She started counseling our son for his university application when he started his A Level. With an experience of over 25 years, Saima is amazing at guiding teenagers and parents alike. She’s always available to take calls from panicked parents and her calm and confident manner takes the stress out of the whole university application process for the student and parents alike. Her personalized and tailor-made approach gives us the confidence that we are making the best choices for our son. From university application to the day he got to the university, her team was with us at every step of the way. Recommend her and the team whole heartedly to all the anxious parents of the teens out there!
