Elite College Counseling That Starts Early and Finishes Strong

We work with students as early as middle school, guiding them step-by-step through academic planning, extracurricular development, test prep, and essay writing; all tailored to their goals, family dynamics, and passions.

Academic & Course Strategy

We offer personalized academic planning to maximize your teen's success. We guide them through crucial decisions like selecting AP, IB, or dual enrollment courses, and crafting productive winter and summer break schedules, ensuring they optimize their academic journey.

Leadership & Extracurricular Development

Our expert mentors guide your teen from passion to impactful experiences. We support them in launching projects, exploring intellectual curiosities, or enhancing existing activities, providing guidance from idea to execution. This empowers your teen to thrive and make a meaningful difference.

Research & Internship Support

Help your teen gain practical experience through hands-on internships in fields such as AI, engineering, law, business, and medicine. If there's a subject they're truly enthusiastic about, we'll teach them how to connect with professors or PhD students to conduct in-depth, publishable research projects, turning their interests into impactful accomplishments.

Authentic Essay Development:

Our experts provide comprehensive essay writing support, from brainstorming and topic selection to detailed feedback and review. This guidance helps your teen feel confident about every essay submission. We cover essays for the Common App, Coalition App, University of California application, and other school-specific requirements.

Time Management & Soft Skill Development

We help your teen build the executive functioning skills necessary to confidently manage their workload, stay organized, and take charge of their responsibilities.

Tutoring & Test Prep

Our test prep and tutoring services, available both in-person and online, pair your teen with a top-tier tutor who scores in the 95th percentile or higher. We cover everything from middle school entrance exams to APs, ACT, and SAT. Our students have achieved an average 133-point increase on the SAT!
