Many families begin during junior year, which allows time to build a thoughtful plan before senior year begins.  That said, I also work with seniors who are looking for structured, proactive guidance through the application process. Because I work with a limited number of students, reaching out earlier is often helpful.

While I am based in Westchester County, I work with students and families from surrounding areas and beyond.  Much of the process can be handled effectively through structured virtual meetings, which allows me to support students both locally and outside the region.

Not at all.  My approach is not focused on a particular tier of schools. Instead, I help students build balanced college lists that reflect academic readiness, institutional priorities, and personal fit.  The goal is a process that feels thoughtful and grounded — not rankings-driven.

Parents are an important part of the process, especially when it comes to planning and decision-making.  Meetings are primarily student-focused, with parent check-ins included as needed to ensure everyone feels informed, aligned, and supported along the way.

Tutoring and test prep focus on individual pieces of the application.  My work focuses on the overall strategy — how academics, activities, essays, timelines, and college selection fit together cohesively.  Families often appreciate having someone who can hold the full picture and help the process feel more manageable.

I intentionally work with a limited number of students each cycle so I can provide focused, individualized guidance.  This allows me to be proactive and thoughtful with each student rather than stretched thin.

The initial consultation is a structured, conversational meeting designed to understand your student’s goals, strengths, and areas of uncertainty.  There is no obligation to move forward — the goal is simply to provide clarity and determine whether working together would be a good fit.

My services are designed to be proactive and strategic, rather than last-minute or crisis-based.  If you are reaching out late in the process, availability may be limited, but I’m always happy to discuss what support may be possible.

The best first step is to request an introductory consultation.  These conversations are meant to be informative, low-pressure, and focused on helping families understand their options and next steps.
