Lisa McGann, Founder, Clear College Consulting

I clarify the maze of the college admissions process for families such as yours, so you can breathe easy and find a great college fit where your student can thrive.

Why? Because I’m passionate about education and love helping teens around the country gain clarity through this exciting time in their lives. All teens deserve to find their best path forward.

As a 20-year tech start-up veteran who always held client-facing roles, the customer service I offer is second to none. My detailed project management experience keeps students organized and accountable; my strong marketing communications skills helps students develop great essays; and my extensive training experience ensures you are all effectively educated throughout the journey.

As a parent of college-age children, I completely understand how overwhelming, confusing, and stressful this process is, for students and parents alike. I offer you empathy and liaison skills to reduce your stress and maintain familial harmony.

By volunteering in our local San Mateo County schools and community organizations for fifteen years, I bring the experience of working with and mentoring students of all ages and interests. For my students, I am a steadfast confidante and cheerleader. 

I hold a B.A. from Duke University, an Independent Educational Consultant Certificate from University of California, Irvine, and an Essay Coach Certificate from WOW Writing Workshop. I have also earned associate membership to the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA), which proves my commitment to the highest standards of ethics and training. In my free time, I love to travel and explore new places. As often as possible, I combine this with college visits to continue growing my firsthand knowledge for my students!
