Empowering Diverse Learners to Succeed in Higher Education

College Consulting with a Difference

We offer a personalized and supportive experience for families and students preparing for college. Our mission is to help students not only gain acceptance into the right school but also to thrive once they are there.

​

Our practice focuses on two key areas:
 

  1. Matching the student with higher education programs that are the best academic, social, and personal fit for their needs, strengths, and preferences.

  2. Developing college readiness skills to help students thrive in their chosen institution. Our tailored approach addresses self-awareness, self-advocacy, social communication, time management, and more, based on individual needs.

​

We work closely with families to develop a comprehensive plan, guiding them through the often overwhelming college process. Our goal is to set the student up for holistic success - intellectually, emotionally, socially, and in terms of independence.

​

Our mission is to empower diverse learners and facilitate their success in higher education.

Our Process

How do we work?

During our consultation, you will learn more about how we work and we get to know your family and your needs. We take a personalized approach and together we will determine the next step and what services can serve you and your family the best.

College Consulting

The next step is college consulting. The college application process can be complex, but we will help keep you on track. We offer individualized services through packages or hourly consulting.

02

Discovery Session

During the discovery session we meet the student, review learning history, educational background, needs and wants, and assess college readiness skills. We then recommend next steps, including college consulting, college readiness coaching, or alternative paths.

04

College Readiness Coaching

Depending on the needs we have discussed, we design an individualized curriculum for each student, focusing on skills such as self-advocacy, self-awareness, social communication, and executive function focusing on college readiness. 

05

Review Offers & Enroll

When acceptances have arrived, we can help you review the offers, helping you decide based on scholarships, program options, accommodations and other factors that are uniquely important to you

06

College Freshman Year

This is a big, exciting and scary step for all students, but it can be extra daunting for students who may have struggled socially or with independence and time management in high school.  We continue our support through freshman year in college as needed.

 What people are saying 

After every meeting with Marie, I felt like we grew closer! She made the college application process enjoyable and fun because I felt like we could talk about anything and connect it back to college. She helped me figure out my strengths and how to portray those qualities in my application. I was more confident about applying to college with these coaching sessions. - Amy
