FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you meet in person or online?

Rose and her essay coach partners work with students across multiple time zones, so all meetings are via online platforms. It works great because students and consultants often need to screen share. It's also convenient because students/parents don't have to travel for appointments, and can join meetings from different locations as needed.  In-person meetings are available for local clients, if preferred.

What are your office hours?

Consultants can be flexible with meeting times. We do our best to accommodate weekday, evening, and weekend appointments.

When should we start with high school and college planning services?

While each family's situation is unique, the earliest we recommend is spring of 9th grade to focus on high school academic and extracurricular planning. In 10th or 11th grade, students may be ready to focus on Exploring Majors and Careers and College Search & Selection. In spring of 11th grade, students may want to start planning the college application process.
