Expert Advice on College Applications and Gap Year Plans

Personalized, one-on-one guidance for high school students — so you can move forward with confidence.

Greetings from New York City!

Senior year of high school can be a stressful and uncertain time for many students.  Whether a student takes the path of going directly to college or taking a gap year first, there is a lot of work to be done in terms of plans and applications.  Working with an educational consultant to provide guidance and support is advisable and worthwhile. Having a mentor at this stage can make the process less stressful and more enjoyable. 

I provide one-on-one guidance to students on completing four-year college applications or planning for a gap year in Japan.  My goal is for students to put together college applications and gap year plans that best reflect their personal achievements, interests, and values.  My ultimate mission is for students to approach the process with more confidence. 

I hope to mentor you on your path to higher education!
