Student Services
I help students from the U.S. and around the world to understand what they want from a college experience, identify and apply to their best fit universities, and successfully transition to college.
I can provide a selection or all of the below services to students who want to study at the undergraduate or graduate level.
Through a comprehensive package or a personalized plan, I can help students and their families with:
College Considerations

Developing a college list that is balanced and realistic is central to the college application process. I will work with you to come up with a balanced list of universities that reflect your goals and interests.

If you're lucky enough to be able to make campus visits, I can help you plan your visit in a way that will be most useful in making decisions about where to apply.
Applying to College
-
Applying to university can be complicated. Starting with a clear plan supports students in making steady progress without getting overwhelmed.

A college application essay is different from most other writing done by college applicants. I coach students about how their essay can make them stand out, showcasing their skills, interests, and personality.

College applications have a lot of different components. A final review of the application helps to reduce errors and avoid missing information.

A key step in the application process, I will guide you through how to go about getting the best letters possible.

Transitioning to College

Having worked with college students and their transition to college for 15+ years, I can help set you up for success on-campus, both academically and personally.

Understanding academic expectations and how to get support can make a big difference in a student's first weeks on campus.
