“Our daughter was able to feel comfortable with you, trust you, respect you. Your team listened to her and drew her out. All this encouraged her to follow your guidance and suggestions – even better, she opened up to you. Your gentle email nudges kept her on track. As the process progressed there was a cumulative effect: Our daughter felt more confident and more excited which prompted her to keep on top of things well. The whole process not only got her to a great school choice, it really provided growth. You guys are amazing— I wish every child could go through your process. Yay!”



— Susan Battle, Class of 2022 Parent

Here's how it works

Personalized Planning


We start by getting to know your child – their strengths, interests, learning style, and goals. This allows us to create a personalized roadmap for their academic and college admissions journey.

Strategic Support


Our expert team provides comprehensive services, including:


  • College Counseling: Guidance on everything from exploring majors and building a college list to crafting compelling applications.
  • Test Prep: Personalized strategies and coaching to help your student conquer the SAT or ACT with confidence.
  • Academic Mentoring: Support in a wide range of high school subjects, including AP and IB courses, to ensure your student excels in their coursework.
  • Executive Functioning Coaching: Development of essential life skills like time management, organization, and self-advocacy to empower your student for success in high school, college, and beyond.

Organized and Efficient Approach


We break down the journey into smaller, manageable tasks, ensuring your student stays on track without feeling overwhelmed. We utilize best-in-class tools like College Planner Pro software to help students and parents manage deadlines, track progress, and stay organized.

Stress-Free Experience


We handle the complexities of the process, allowing you to focus on supporting your student's emotional well-being. We provide regular, concise updates on your child's progress, so you can stay informed and involved without adding to your already busy schedule.

Celebrating Success:


We celebrate every milestone achieved, empowering your student to approach their future with confidence and excitement.

“Working with Tia was an absolute turning point for our son, who is neurodiverse and twice-exceptional. Before meeting her, he struggled with organization and time management, which impacted both his confidence and academic performance. Tia's approach was transformative—she didn't just offer strategies but truly understood how his brain worked, creating personalized systems that empowered him rather than left him frustrated. Her ability to balance structure with compassion gave him a safe space to grow his executive functioning skills, and the results have been incredible. Not only have his grades improved, but he's also gained a new sense of independence and self-advocacy. ~
