Academic Coaching
-
The goal of academic coaching is to help students earn strong grades and test scores by improving their skills and performance. Focusing on learning styles, study habits, learning gaps, time management, and goal setting, we help students realize their potential. We also work with students to ensure their courses are aligned with the rigor needed to develop college readiness.
Personal Development
-
Personal development is about becoming a strong and well-rounded candidate. This goal is achieved by focusing on turning your interest into a competitive advantage, enhancing your leadership skills, and helping you engage in community service.
College selection
-
Choosing the right college involves a number of sequential steps that promote both self-awareness and college awareness. We help students navigate these steps, leading to a solid and
well-thought-out college choice. If college is not the right choice for you, we will explore alternatives that may be a better fit.
Application Support
-
It is the opportunity to package and present yourself as a prime candidate. We can help you with admissions strategy, personal branding, and essay writing that will help you stand out.
