Packages
Experience excellence in educational services designed to cultivate the highest standards of post high school exploration. Students will engage in personal examination of interests, likes, dislikes, and learning styles to assist in deciding on an area of study. Once established, a personalized college list will be designed, essay writing will be provided, as well as application and Financial Aid (FAFSA) support. Packages include a complementary half hour intake meeting.
After our consultation, I'll recommend the service level that will best serve the student's needs, taking into account a student's grade level, total number of applications and essays to be completed, and the complexity of the overall process. Rates may be higher for those applying to performing/visual arts colleges that require portfolios and/or auditions, and those who would like enhanced executive functioning coaching throughout the process.
