NAVIGATING THE CHANGING COLLEGE ADMISSIONS LANDSCAPE

We're here to help you make informed choices. Whether it's how to prioritize Early Decision and Early Action, when to apply Test Optional, or understanding how the growth of the applicant pool affects you, we stay ahead of current trends in admissions.

PERSONALIZED SERVICE with PROVEN RESULTS

Stephanie collaborates with families across the country and internationally, providing educational consulting, diagnostic assessment of learning and support, test preparation, as well as college placement and advising. Her boutique practice offers discrete, personally curated services by identifying talent in each student, creating a compelling application profile, and carefully targeting colleges and universities to maximize potential and overall success.

GUIDING YOU THROUGHOUT YOUR HIGH SCHOOL CAREER
We work with 9th, 10th, 11th & 12th graders. Preparing an authentic narrative that is true to each student starts long before college application.
Over the coming years, our shared goal is to present you as the sort of candidate that makes colleges take notice. It’s often the little things that distinguish us from the crowd.  
 
Services encompass course selection—including choosing challenging and diverse classes from the humanities to STEM and the arts—as well as test preparation. Pursuing volunteer activities, internships, and research are key differentiators. Through an attentive process of individual evaluation, we highlight your strengths and provide a roadmap toward future achievement and success.
 
We engage closely with students, focusing on their interests and efforts, building competency and confidence, and producing the most rewarding results. Count on us to always be in your corner and serve as a trusted guide.

CURATED COLLEGE SELECTION
It starts with a personal interview to begin building a student profile, taking into account academic achievement, extracurricular activities, interests, preferences and aspirations. We help students find the best schools and programs to fit them, large or small, in the U.S. and abroad.
APPLICATION & ESSAY PREPARATION
Although we adhere to exacting standards and proven best practices, there is no mold or cookie-cutter method for preparing a college application. We're interested in showcasing character as much as competency. The goal is to allow colleges to see and value who you really are. The process of writing and honing personal essays—expressing what makes you unique, and describing past accomplishments and future goals can, in fact, be a revelatory, self-actualizing experience.
EDUCATION ADVISING & CONSULTING
We assist with standardized test preparation including SAT and ACT. We address students' academic needs through study skills and organizational tutoring, crafting an academic program tailored to each student's learning profile.

TESTIMONIALS

Hello Stephanie,

I want to thank you for everything you have done for me over the past two years. Working with you made the terrifying college process feel much more manageable, and I couldn’t have done it without your help.

 

Your enthusiastic confidence and guidance through those challenging times helped me develop essays that I felt proud of. I cannot wait to wander the halls of your alma mater.
