How We Help Students and Families

We nurture student strengths and interests.

In our initial meetings, we get to know each student and family, setting extracurricular and academic goals so students can explore and express their developing interests. We review transcripts, test results, and other available documents to provide tailored, strategic advice.

We are academic matchmakers.

Once we understand a student’s interests and goals, we match them with the schools, colleges, universities, and graduate programs that could fit their specific goals and interests. Our recommendations are based on our ongoing research into and first-hand knowledge of educational institutions across the U.S. and the world.

Our Counselors and Tutors work together to help students raise scores and maximize their time.

Still confused about the latest changes to standardized testing? Everyone is; many changes to tests such as the SAT, ACT, and MCAT are still being made. By working closely with our tutoring division, our counselors can give tailored, strategic advice to students and families on which tests to take, when to take them, and how to raise scores. We help families match curriculum with testing to maximize students’ time and results.

We are on your side, every step of the way.

We are seasoned consultants, allies, and mentors in every stage of the educational journey. No question is too large or small for our team; we are on your side as you guide your child through the admission process. Our staff calls on decades of experience working in admission and guidance counseling to offer sound advice to families. We have worked in a range of public and private schools and universities, and we understand how admission committees review and assess candidates. This allows us to offer comprehensive, tailored, and strategic support.
