I started this blog in 2020, while preparing for the EQE main exams. After passing all exams for the first time with flying colours, I started supporting other candidates on their EQE journey.

Since then, I tutored more than 275 candidates regularly (on a weekly basis), including people from prestigious companies such as the EPO, 3Shape, Accord Healthcare, Adidas, Appleyard Lees, ArcelorMittal, Ascendis Pharma, Atlas Copco, Barker Brettell, Bergenstråhle & Partners, Betten & Resch, Brann, Cantaluppi, Chemo Research, Clarke Modet, Cooley, df-mp, Finnegan, Fish & Richardson, Grünecker, Hepp Wenger Ryffel, Hoffmann Eitle, ISERN, Japan Tobacco International, Keltie, Knauf, Kolster, Kolster, Kuhnen & Wacker, Laine IP, Löwenstein Medical Technology, Maiwald, Mercedes, Nestle, NLO, Novo Nordisk, Onsagers, P&TS, Philip Morris International, Philips, Pirelli, Plasseraud IP, Ramboll, Roche, Schaeffler Technologies, Schneider Electric, tesa, thyssenkrupp, Umicore, Vossius, Zimmermann und Partner, ZBM
and held more than 530 meetings as an EQE tutor.
