I Help Craft Impactful University Admissions Essays
EsaiKu is an essay review service that I started to help students and working professionals get accepted to top-tier universitiesHarvard | MIT | Cambridge | Oxford | Penn | Columbia | NYU | KCL | UCL | Cornell | UCLA | Berkeley | Edinburgh | NUS |
But first,
a quick story...
This is my friend Ariel.
I helped him get into his dream school 🎓
In 2022, Ariel asked me to help with his graduate school application essays. While he was an outstanding student, he wasn't confident about his writing skills whatsoever.
And so the essay-crafting journey began 🧙
For several weekends, we worked tirelessly to analyze the essay questions, brainstorm ideas, and form amazing essays.Ariel applied to 5 universities in the US.
Eventually the results came in
and here's where Ariel got accepted into
Afterwards, I thought:
"maybe I can help other people too?"
That led me to start EsaiKu in June 2023.

Online Course (Relaunching in August 2025)
Write Better Essays
If you want to get into your dream university or get the scholarship to afford it, you will need to write solid essays. But that's not easy—it takes a lot of thinking. This course will give you all of the advice that you need in the shortest amount of time.I mean... admissions cycles are already short, so don’t waste time trying to figure it out on your own.This course is the culmination of reading hundreds of essays, review calls with hundreds of applicants, and hosting almost a dozen webinars on the same topic.Perfect for US & UK master's and PhD applicants, but overall, I believe it will still be useful for anyone looking to improve their writing skills—whether you're a scholarship applicant, high school student, or applying to universities outside the US and UK. I guarantee that you will all find immense value in this course.For the live mentoring Q&A Session (group call via Zoom), my goal is to invite 1 special guest during each session (Master's, PhD, LPDP Awardees). I’m aiming to get a mix of everyone: MBAs, LLMs, engineers, PhDs, education master's, public policy/administration, analytics master's, and more. These live sessions will be during the peak season of September 2024-January 2025 and will be recorded. Stay tuned for more details.Language of instruction: Bahasa Indonesia.Price: Rp9,000,000 Rp399,000 Rp300,000
