Academic Coaching
Whether you're applying to competitive high schools or getting ready for college, the essay is an important part of any application. From picking a topic to telling your story to editing a final draft, you have a dedicated and knowledgeable partner. Students remain in control during every stage of the writing process with the added benefits of real-time feedback, guidance, and recommendations. Support for supplemental essays is also available.
When I worked at colleges, I saw talented students struggle, often because they hadn't solidified the skills they'd need for success in college or hadn't had the opportunity to learn about the resources and services available to them on campus. The College Transition offering provides students the toolkit of techniques and tips they'll need and introduces relevant university services and resources before students arrive for their first semester to ensure a smooth transition to college life.

We also provide two levels of portfolio-based end-of-year Proof of Progress evaluations for families homeschooling in Virginia. Simplified Evaluations consider math and language arts materials and satisfy Virginia requirements with a personalized letter and evaluator credentials to be sent to the school system. Detailed Evaluations include all the elements of Simplified Evaluations plus the option to add subjects beyond math and language arts and a second letter intended for use only by families which identifies areas of strength and weakness in the subjects provided and recommendations for moving forward.
