We know how hard it is.

The space between sessions

You see it constantly: the student working hard with no goal in mind, the one without inspiration, the one who only wants to make their parents happy. It isn't a lack of effort or ability. It's a lack of orientation, and without it, something else does the choosing.

Between your sessions, Laikan runs the process that builds it: broad exposure, structured reflection, decision support at the points that matter. You meet a student ready for the conversation only you can have.

You want to give that kind of attention to every family who trusts you. With back-to-back sessions and a full calendar, that's the hardest part of running your own practice.

Built to Work With You, Not Around You

Your expertise and relationship with each student and family are enhanced by always-available guidance between sessions, greater insight into each student's development through their evolving profile, and clear, easy reporting that helps parents stay informed and engaged throughout the journey.

See more families, without diluting any one relationship

Students arrive at every session prepared, so the time you have goes toward the conversation only you can have, not catching up.

You stay in control

Review mode lets you approve every recommendation before it reaches a student; Direct mode lets guidance flow straight through once you trust it.

Parents arrive informed, not anxious

Parents will be able to see and discuss their child's progress directly with the AI mentor, so check-ins start with context, not catch-up. Coming soon.

Works with what you already use

Task-level tools like essay feedback and college matching still have their place. Laikan is the connective layer underneath your practice, not a replacement for it.

Not a new startup

The digital version of a proven methodology

Built by the team behind Milestone Institute, one of Europe's most successful in-person mentoring programs, Laikan brings the same methodology to college and career guidance, scaling and amplifying what one-to-one counseling can achieve.
