I welcome you and your family into the relaxed comfort of my home to develop an effective application strategy. This is a wonderful setting for students and parents to discuss their needs and goals. Our initial consultation is the ultimate way to kick-start the high school admissions experience.
And if you have already begun gathering information or are feeling stuck and possibly overwhelmed in the middle of applications, we can begin our work together at any time. I can make the entire process feel less stressful and overwhelming. From gathering the information you need, to managing the paperwork and deadlines of each school, to preparing for the interview, to personal essay review, to assessing which schools feel like the right fit, I will be there every step of the way.
I look forward to being a part of your family's journey throughout this very personal process. Together we'll find the schools where your child will thrive.
You and your student are invited to sit down and discuss your high school admissions goals, needs, and concerns. We can then create a plan to help your student put their best foot forward as they pursue the school of their dreams.
The admissions season can feel long when you're completing challenging applications for multiple schools. Throughout the process, I am here to offer continued support around written communication and forms, essay writing and proofreading, recommendation requests and any questions that arise during the admissions process.
One of my specialties is working with students to develop strong interview skills. My communications background, nurturing personality and humor (even to teenagers) allows for a relaxed atmosphere where we can work on personal development. You'll love seeing the transformation that occurs after only one session.
From improved eye contact to an impressive handshake to knowing how to answer tricky questions and everything in between, my role-playing exercises will make a significant difference when it comes to making a great first impression. That is very important on the shadow visit, in the one-on-one interview, and all through life!
My contact details are below. Please call or email me today to discuss how we can work together.
The results will be worth it as your child's strengths and abilities shine through on paper and in person.
