Parents of soon to be high school juniors…. Junior year is brutal. It is easily the most busy year of high school. In addition to the hardest classes and grades that really matter, the whole college process takes on a life of its own. Whatever you have heard about the optionality of the SAT, I […]
Read MoreThere are two programs: (1) small seminar and (2) individual coaching. And, in reality, a third since many – such as your friend – did both. The benefits of each: The small seminar is quite small so there is a lot of individual attention. It is also easily the most cost-effective way to start. If […]
Read MoreMuch like many, I would spend every last dollar on my children. This wonderful tendency has a cost. A big one. The retirement crisis – I prefer “financial freedom” – is real and getting bigger. To be clear, when I speak of children being financially independent that does not necessarily mean that they do not […]

Read MoreThose who know me view me as an incurable optimist and positive thinker. For me to sound an alarm… well… there really is a fire. I started noticing pre-Covid. Students simply did not seem as well educated as in the past. Our teaching staff at The Learning Consultants noticed as well. I am always mindful […]
Read MoreMy college counseling work has evolved since Covid. Parents in our area – the Connecticut shoreline and Fairfield County – are usually well educated. So when I started college counseling in the 2000s, my work was often focused on guiding the student through the college counseling process, a reasonable amount of which the parents understood. […]
Read MoreIs your child a high school junior? What else can be done at this date to change your child’s chance of admission and your chance of securing merit aid?
