Discover New Possibilities
Global education consultancy guiding students to top US and UK universities, through admissions strategy, research mentoring, and passion projects
Who We Are
From One Possibility to Another
Iliani Education Group was founded by two experienced professionals who met on the Cambridge Executive MBA. Coming from different continents, they are united by a shared belief that education is a gateway to new possibilities. For both founders, education unlocked global networks, meaningful mentorship, and a deeper understanding of who they could become.
Iliani, pronounced ee-lee-AH-nee, is rooted in the Greek word for sun, a symbol of clarity, renewal, energy, and the possibility of what comes next. Sunlight is the source of all life, and Iliani is the spark that lights self-belief in a young person who has not yet worked out what they are capable of. Our yellow comes from the same place.
Our mission is simple: help families give their children the best chance to thrive globally.
