Our public and private schools have many great academic and guidance counselors. Not all high schools have college counselors. College counselors have the specific experience and expertise to help students through the college search and application process. For a student who does not have access to a college counselor or who needs more one-on-one support than a school counselor can offer, it makes sense to hire an independent college counselor who can help guide the student and parents through the process.
As the College Counselor, I help the student:
- take the right high school courses
- build the self-awareness needed to have a successful college search
- write an essay that will separate them from other applicants
- manage and complete the entire college application process
- decide the ‘best fit’ college for his or her unique situation
As the College Counselor, I help the parent:
- answer the college and financial questions
- motivate their student to complete this process in a timely manner
As the College Counselor, I complete the above activities and help:
- make what could potentially be a long drawn-out process a timely and organized process
- make what can be a fearful and discouraging process a happy and easy-going process
My 25 years of experience working in a college admissions office and then working as a college counselor in a private high school has more than prepared me for helping students and families navigate the college process. My extensive knowledge and embracing manner will provide the support needed for a successful college application process. Please click on the About page to learn more about me and my background.
College Counseling Help is about helping students and families find the ‘Best Fit’ college for each student. The ‘Best Fit’ college does not mean the best college in the United States or the most popular college. It does mean finding a college where the student will find a fit with their academic plans, a fit with their career goals, a fit with their social and athletic expectations while in college, and a fit with who they are personally. A ‘Best Fit’ college will feel like being home, and College Counseling Help will help students find their next academic home.
