Meet Yarona
I'm Yarona van der Horst, and I am an experienced education and career guidance counselor with over 25 years of experience in international education across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. I specialize in career and university counseling, gifted education, and social-emotional guidance—helping students and families navigate transitions with clarity and confidence.
From leading global enrichment programs like TEDxYouth, Explorer, and Challenger to organizing large-scale events like the Create Your Future conference with keynote speakers, panels, workshops, and a university fair—I bring insight and a worldwide perspective to every step of the journey.
If you’re ready to take the next step—or even if you’re not sure what that next step is—I’d love to help you explore it.
Let’s guide the next generation toward meaningful, informed futures.

Global Connections
With an extensive network of universities and international organizations, I help students navigate transitions—from changing countries and school systems to planning for higher education and future careers. I work closely with families to ensure that guidance is personalized, culturally sensitive, and forward-looking.
Presenter & Conference Leader
As an experienced speaker and facilitator, I regularly deliver workshops and presentations at international school events and educational conferences. I also organized the "Create Your Future" conference—a large-scale event designed to support students and families with informed, future-focused guidance. The event featured keynote speakers, panel discussions, interactive career workshops, and a global university fair, connecting hundreds of students and parents with leading experts in higher education and career development.
