What's your most popular product or service?

personalize consulting for the year. We limit the amount of families we work with each year because we like to give a personalized experience and give our students the dedicated coaching to help them achieve their goals. We also host essay writing bootcamps, laser sessions and work with a company that does mock SAT/ACT.

What makes your business unique?

Many of our students begin working with us starting their sophomore year in high school so we assist with picking classes and guide them with a personalized plan on how to get to their top choice colleges.

What's something that your customers might not know about your business?

We also offer laser sessions for students who can't afford or who don't want to participate in our one-on-one coaching program. I want to make college coaching accessible to different income levels. These laser sessions are one-time sessions that are 1.5 hours long and I will answer any personal questions about their college application process. We could use that time to go over essays and improve them, I could teach them about applying for financial aid or negotiating for more, etc. Whatever they need!

Why are you passionate about your business?

I love working with high schoolers and helping them achieve their goals. College is a major and crucial step in a teenager's life and it is a privilege to assist them on their journey and give them an edge in the complicated process.

What else should customers know about your business?

We have assisted hundreds of students in their college application journey. Last year 90% of our students were admitted to their first choice school. We were proudly named Best of Annapolis in 2021. We are expanding our team and our services to be more inclusive and help even more families!

What's your favorite thing about Annapolis?

Annapolis is historic, and beautifully situated on the Chesapeake Bay! I also love proximity to other big cities.
