Provide one-on-one preparation sessions in students' homes for the SAT or ACT, as well as consultation on which test to take and when. Guide students through each and every consideration for the college application process, beginning with initial advising about future trajectories as early as freshmen year. Begin more fully assisting students their junior year by helping them select appropriate courses, prepare for standardized tests, research schools, tour effectively, assess best fits, write essays, and complete applications. Once students are accepted, I also assist with scholarship applications and any follow-up communication with the school that is necessary. As a member of NJACAC and IECA, I bring a strong sense of ethics and professionalism to my work. I also tour 10+ college campuses each year and attend conferences throughout New York and Nee Jersey to ensure I am equipped with the latest information and insights for my students.
