Coaching Programs and Packages

First Meeting Details

1-hour session starting in 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th grades (add 11th grade). If we decide we are a good match, the initial fee of $350 will be applied towards the overall package. During this meeting we usually go over the following:

An overview of what it takes today to get into a great college
A look at where you child is on the star, in terms of GPA, challenge, leadership, volunteer service, passion (talent), and testing.
A way of finding out where there are gaps in your child’s high school resume and a strategy to close those gaps.

At end of the 60 minutes, you will have the outline of a good plan to help them reach the next level. If we choose to work together, my job becomes coaching them to get to that next level so that colleges choose them over the thousands that apply each fall

Coaching Program

While I occasionally do hourly work (@$350 per hour), it is much better for a student to bond, focus and work with me over the long term.
