Creating Strategies for College and Beyond
Picture
"Teri helped our son get into the college of his choice with her wealth of knowledge about colleges' pros and cons and practical strategies for the application, scholarship and decision "mazes." She is delightful to work with and cares about the success of the students she helps. Partnering with Teri is a worthwhile investment in the important college decisions."

PACKAGES AND HOURLY CONSULTATIONS

Comprehensive Package – The best value, a soup to nuts comprehensive package, which includes the entire process outlined on the Services page. I take the time to get to know your student and to ultimately craft a list of schools that will be a good fit, looking beyond the obvious names to find hidden gems. Those gems can include schools that offer a particular program or scholarship that is especially appealing. Before beginning the search for schools, I work with students to help them figure out how to best utilize their high school years, in order to prepare for college, without burning out. Which extra-curricular activities should he or she do? How much is enough? How much is too much? Where can he or she find leadership opportunities? Is it better to be a jack of all trades or an expert in one? The college application process begins long before the Common App comes out in August of senior year. I work with the student and the family throughout the entire process to help find the right schools, complete the applications and put together winning essays. Offered to a limited number of students.
