International Education Counseling Experience
Sameer currently works as a Counsellor at The Next Education Consultancy, where he provides end-to-end counseling for students planning to study abroad.
His core destination experience includes the USA and New Zealand, covering the entire counseling and application process.
His responsibilities include:
- Assessing student academic profiles
- Understanding career and education goals
- Identifying suitable study destinations
- Recommending universities and courses
- Supporting university applications
- Reviewing documentation
- Providing visa guidance
- Preparing students for interviews
- Communicating with students and parents
- Following up throughout the application process
This direct experience closely aligns with the Senior Multi-Destination Counselor requirement at Raffles Educare.
Multi-Destination Study Pathway Knowledge
Although Sameer’s strongest direct counseling exposure is in the USA and New Zealand, he has also developed knowledge of study pathways for:
- United Kingdom
- Germany
- Netherlands
- Dubai
Through training, market insights, and professional counseling exposure, he has developed broader awareness of international education options.
This makes him capable of supporting students who may be evaluating multiple destinations rather than approaching counseling with only one country in mind.
Visa Documentation & Interview Preparation
Visa guidance is a major part of international education counseling.
Sameer has direct experience helping students prepare documentation for USA and New Zealand visa applications.
His responsibilities include:
- Reviewing supporting documents
- Explaining visa processes

Public Speaking & Student Engagement
Sameer regularly facilitates information sessions related to:
- IELTS
- PTE
- SAT
- Study abroad pathways
- University intake cycles
- International admission processes
He has delivered presentations to groups of prospective students and parents, strengthening his public speaking and presentation skills.
Sameer has also represented his organization at major education fairs, where he provided on-the-spot counseling to hundreds of students and parents.
These experiences are particularly valuable for a senior counselor who may need to conduct presentations, support junior team members, and represent an education consultancy professionally.
Customer Relationship Management Experience
Before moving into overseas education counseling, Sameer worked as a Customer Relationship Specialist at Alaya, formerly HLE Nepal.
In this position, he served as a primary point of contact for clients throughout the Australian mortgage application lifecycle.
He was responsible for:
- Client communication
- Application updates
- Follow-ups
- Documentation coordination
- Query resolution
- Stakeholder coordination
- Customer satisfaction
The role required patience, consistency, and clear communication—qualities that transfer directly to student and parent counseling.
Strong Documentation & Process Management Background
Sameer also worked as a Loan Processing Specialist and Loan Processing Associate at Alaya.
His work included managing Australian mortgage files, reviewing financial documents, maintaining accurate records, coordinating with brokers and lenders, and ensuring compliance with lending requirements.
This experience developed strong capability in:
- Documentation accuracy
- Compliance
- Case management
- Record keeping
- Multi-tasking
- Process tracking
- Deadline management
These are important strengths for handling multiple international student applications simultaneously.
Business Development & Negotiation Experience
Sameer’s earlier career also includes experience as a Business Development Executive at NIC ASIA Bank and an Independent Real Estate Agent at Property 360 Nepal.
Through these roles, he developed experience in:
- Business communication
- Negotiation
- Client acquisition
- Relationship management
- Data analysis
- Deal coordination
- Documentation
- Stakeholder engagement
His broader commercial experience supports the target-driven nature of a Senior Multi-Destination Counselor position, where counseling quality must also contribute to enrollment and business growth.
