Apply Well:
College applications
with less stress 
& more confidence

What if college planning 
grew students' confidence and skills?

What if college decisions centered on student
opportunity and fit vs. status symbols?

What if the process brought families together,
instead of causing tension?

The College Application season is frequently a time of significant for STRESS for families. Using my knowledge of the college admissions process aligned with your student's unique goals, we can reduce overwhelm and strengthen confidence about the next leg of your family's journey in Education.

 

Tailored to their needs, your student will learn the key steps of a successful college search and application, including coaching toward healthy family dynamics and building valuable student confidence. These elements are aided by structured explanations, timelines, and templates. Together the program elements will inform and inspire students and their families during a crucial time in their educational journey!

The summer before 12th grade is the key time to work together in a systematic, orderly, and optimistic way to create all the elements of a successful college search and application process.

Our coach Tina was a savior when it came to exploring college choices for our daughter. She brought an objective view and was able to have conversations with my daughter that typically ended in conflict at home. She asked tough questions, had productive suggestions, and took a lot of the fear and uncertainty out of the exploration and application process. Time & money well spent by our family!
