Caring, Individualized, Expert College Advising
The college process can be stressful - but it doesn’t have to be. A skilled admissions consultant can alleviate stress and help your child succeed in their college journey.

(Columbia University, BA; UC-Berkeley, PhD)
I bring to my practice a background in college admissions and twenty years of teaching experience - including eight years as a professor at Wellesley College. I tailor my coaching to each student’s aspirations and have an excellent track record of placing my students in a college of their choice (see Results). I also have extensive experience working with students with a range of strengths and abilities including those with mental health and learning challenges.

“I truly can’t thank you enough. You coaxed me through all of the stress that comes with the college application process with ease. I truly believe that my essay is most of the reason why I got into the colleges that I did. It is the best essay I have ever written because of you.”

“The essay is simply phenomenal (yes, there were tears when reading the final draft) and, more importantly, she expressed to me how happy she is with the final product. For a number of years she and I have talked about her struggles with confidence. Today, I saw a young woman bursting with pride and certainty in the quality of her work. Wow!”
