work with an educator with extensive experience . . .
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
My clients have recently received offers of admission to the most selective colleges and universities in the US. I am an independent college counselor, with extensive teaching experience: high school, college, and lifelong learning. I worked for 10 years in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, reviewing thousands of applications each year., where I was also in charge of international applications and counselor relations.
My basic fee is $300 for a 2-hour consultation (this includes a follow-up assessment of the student's college admissions essay). Additional hours are $125 each. Most students do not need more than a couple of hours of assistance.
The part of my job I enjoy most is meeting with students, and working with individuals is at the heart of my counseling practice.
I worked at schools in New York City for many years as a college counselor, primarily at the United Nations International School. For 10 years I contributed a column, "Ask the College Counselor," at www.insideschools.org where I answered readers' questions about the college application process. In addition, I contributed my expertise to programs for underrepresented urban students and for new speakers of English.
