I also offer longer-term engagements
Private Office
A small number of families work with me over one to five years rather than for a full application cycle.
The work begins before applications open and continues until the student is placed. It covers course selection, SAT/ACT testing, extracurricular activities, Summer Programs, and the university applications themselves.
- TermOne to five years, agreed at the outset
- MeetingsIn person, on a schedule set with the family
- FeesSet according to the level of engagement
Families Abroad
I can advise international families in their own countries, for example in the Gulf and wider Middle East. Discretion is a matter of principle rather than exception.
