About US

Meet the Founder:
From LUMS to NYU to Harvard, and Now Helping You Get There

Mentara Education was founded by Muhammad Hadi, a graduate of Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education. Originally from Pakistan, Hadi’s journey to Harvard wasn’t paved by privilege or legacy, it was built through perseverance, clarity of purpose, and the power of narrative. Now, he’s helping others do the same.

Why Mentara Exists

Hadi noticed that too many brilliant students, especially from South Asia, fall short in their Ivy League dreams not because they lack talent, but because they lack guidance. Mentara exists to bridge that gap. With an insider’s understanding of elite admissions, we offer mentorship rooted in global experience and personal success.

Our Values

Mentara comes from the word “mentor.”
 At our core, we believe in:

  • Authenticity over formulas

  • Mentorship over templates

  • Excellence over shortcuts
