Our Work

Parent testimonial:

“We worked with Colleen to help with the college process with our son.  Colleen was extremely helpful from start to finish.  She helped research and add some school options our son had not thought about, helped with keeping us organized and on schedule for applications to be submitted early in the Fall, assisted with the essay process and then was a great sounding board for our son when it came time to make a decision. 

My husband and I were so grateful for all the research Colleen did for us, how accessible she was when we had questions, but more importantly we appreciated the way she navigated everything with our son. She communicates well with teenagers because she understands them and gets that teenagers are all different, that the college application process is stressful so she tries to keep things light and supportive.” 

Student testimonial:

“Working with Colleen made the monster of applying to colleges feel so easy. She was there to guide me through not only my college essay, short responses for individual colleges, and selecting the best answers to Common App questions, but also gave me the resourses I needed to pick the best schools to apply to for me, getting the information I needed from my high school, and catering her advice to fit what each college was looking for.

While working with her, she went out of her way to answer all of my silly questions throughout the application process. She also set an organized schedule for me to follow which made it so all of my applications were completed and submitted for early action decisions half-way through first semester while many of my fellow classmates were either just beginning the process or had not started at all. By the time we were done working together, I applied to six colleges. I got into all of them and could not have done it without her guidance.” 

Parent testimonial:

“Colleen found a rapport with my child before we even started with any academic work. That set the tone for a fun and productive meeting. Colleen is passionate and knowledgeable about the entire college process and, importantly, invested in the future success of the student themselves. We now have a clear path and understanding of the expectations to get our son into one of his desired colleges and could not have done so without Colleen’s incredible guidance and support.”
