I run my own college consulting business, hold an Independent Education Consultant Certificate, an M.A. in Teaching English as a Second Language, and a B.A. in Sociology (with minors in English and Spanish). My personal 'claim to fame' is having a perfect ACT grammar score. 

I've worked with students making education transitions (from a foreign high school to an American high school, from high school to college, and from college in home country to college in foreign country) since 2010 through both my professional career and through volunteering at two non-profit organizations. I have been assisting students specifically with applying to and starting college since 2014. I have worked as an advisor at a university for over five years as well as taught general education English courses at a university for one year. In addition, I have been a reviewer for two different Department of State competitive scholarship programs.

I regularly take classes and attend professional conferences and workshops to improve my skills in helping students evaluate, select, and apply to colleges.  As an independent college counselor, I visit college campuses (both in-person and virtually) to learn as much as possible about various colleges and universities. I am also an Associate Member of IECA, the professional organization for independent education consultants. 

Homework Offered
Students are expected to work on their essay between each class. The more time and effort students put into their essays between classes, the more they will get out of the entire class. Writing the college application essay requires dedicated time, energy, and a lot of pondering one's self. Students should expect to spend between 1 to 2 hours on their essay after each class, which can be up to 4 hours/week outside of class. This is an intensive course designed to help students make progress as quickly as possible.
2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Corrections to students' essays will be given during class via discussion, and students are expected to take notes regarding these corrections as we talk.
