College Coaching Testimonies

“Allison was an absolute asset to helping our senior son apply for college acceptance. She provided deadlines and structure to an ambiguous system that allowed an 18 year old to successfully manage the process. Allison had a wealth of knowledge and resources to help guide and encourage a young man to meet all the requirements with full understanding. She 100% helped him get acceptance from his number one school!”

“College applications and the idea of sending your child off to college is very stressful. You do not have long for them to be at home. Take the stress away and be able to enjoy your child during their last years at home. Allison was absolutely amazing in helping both my kids with their college essays and applications. Not only with grammar and paragraph structure but coming up with ideas to write about. She met them at Starbucks and a lot was done virtually. Amazing and so helpful. Both my kids got into their top choice for college. Highly recommend!”
