Here’s What Everyone is Saying
Alison, Baltimore MD
Kristie was wonderful with my daughter. She was able to lead us through the college admissions process with ease. Kristie was able to take a lot of pressure and stress off of me as a parent in finding the best place for my daughter for college. And my daughter was able to get into her reach school, which was her first choice. I thank Kristie for the help she gave us in accomplishing that goal!
JaeEun, Columbia MO
Miss Kristie supported and gave me a lot of advice in the process of choosing the right school for me, writing college essays, preparing for alumni interview, and even for ACT test. But also, I learned how to keep calm and believe in myself even though there are harsh obstacles keeping me from achieving my goal. Thanks to her, I could find and get into the ideal school that perfectly matches my needs and wants, and learn what matters in my life. I am truly thankful to Miss Kristie for teaching me the lessons how to succeed not only in college prep, but also in being resilient in difficulties in my life!
Piper, St. Augustine FL
Raised my English score on the ACT a full nine points! Incredible!!
Kate, Columbia MO
Miss Megan made me feel so comfortable and always had an open ear to hear my input. She would use that to structure the way we studied. I felt as if she truly cared about me and my score, and she never judged me or let me feel bad when I didn’t do as well as we thought. We just used that to learn from my mistakes and try new strategies, and I finally got my goal!
