What people are saying…

  • "Having Lisa guide us through the college application journey was invaluable. It eliminated a ton of stress and helped our daughter immensely. She didn't go into the process knowing exactly where she wanted to go or what she wanted to study and Lisa guided her through, helping pick schools that aligned to her interests and ensured she stayed on track. If you have a child getting ready to go through this process, do yourself and them a favor and hire Lisa. You won't regret it!"

True to her mission statement, Lisa brings clarity of the application process to the entire family. Towards the end of the applications process, my daughter in fact commented that she had become more skilled and confident in researching and writing in general, as a result of her brainstorming sessions with Lisa. Thank you!"

  • "Lisa gently guided our anxious daughter in a very overwhelming process. She not only empowered our daughter to get all the application work done, but she gave her confidence in her ability to do so. Our daughter got into her first-choice school and we got to step back and simply cheer her on instead of being the enforcers on all her essays and tasks. Lisa was also always available for even the tiniest questions we had in addition to taking on our daughter. I would whole-heartedly recommend her to help your family too!"

  • “Lisa was incredibly helpful from start to finish in guiding our son - and his parents - through the college search and application process. There's plenty to learn, from unknowns to deadlines, and you can't stick your head in the sand. She proved to be incredibly bright, caring, patient and genuinely interested in finding the best school to fit the needs of a student, who didn't know what he wanted at the start. Having a third party coach working with your student with guidance and assignments is super helpful throughout the process, and even more so when that person is as helpful as Lisa.”

    — Parent

  • "Working with Lisa was a great choice for our family. Having a point person who is not emotionally tied into the process allows the parents to still be in their role and avoid a lot of the stress that comes when families navigate without professional help. An organized, well thought out timeline was essential to keeping our student moving forward from month to month to ensure all major deadlines were met. Lisa also showed our daughter and us a lot of compassion and we felt like she was genuinely interested in seeing our daughter succeed in the process."

    — Parent

  • "Working with Lisa on this process with my daughter was heaven-sent! My daughter knew she wanted to go to college, but had NO IDEA which one. Through many different tools, she was able to narrow down her many choices and has fallen in love with her future school. Lisa's encouragement and guidance helped my daughter to get everything completed on time and to the places that were perfect for her. My daughter was very comfortable working with Lisa and communication between the three of us was always clear and concise. I HIGHLY recommend working with Lisa to help your child find their school."
