Thank you for everything. This was such a pleasant experience for our oldest child. After working with Sylvia he was more confident about heading into college and his skills. His writing improved and he had a healthy range of schools to apply to. She advised on high school course selection which was also extremely helpful. She helped our son take accountability for his research, applications, and essays. I would, and do, recommend Sylvia’s to everyone with high school students to support them in this journey.

We had a wonderful experience working with Sylvia as she helped our teen son select and narrow his college search. She was extremely organized, thoughtful, and knowledgeable about colleges both in the U.S. and internationally. She took the time to understand our son’s interests and goals and guided him through the process in a clear, structured way that never felt overwhelming. We highly recommend her to families looking for knowledgeable and reliable college guidance.

Sylvia was fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable. She was patient and guided my daughter through exploring colleges and writing essays. She was always prompt and professional without ever being pushy. Sylvia also suggested colleges that weren’t even on our radar and provided valuable insight into scholarships and deadlines, taking all the guesswork out of the process. She was an excellent source of support every step of the way.

Sylvia was great and so helpful with the confusing and cumbersome process of applying for college. Our son decided to apply to 20 schools, and without Sylvia I don't know if he would have been able to manage that daunting task. She helped him (and us) through the entire process and we got to just enjoy this last year with him without any extra arguments or stress. Sylvia is an incredible resource, she is very organized, knowledgeable and always fast and thorough in her responses. We are so glad we found her.

Sylvia's support structure and timeframe for working with our son was a fantastic fit! Sylvia was detailed and in-depth in her essay support. Best of all, he didn't feel like he needed our suggestions since he and Sylvia worked so well as a team--that provided the autonomy he was looking for!
