Sujeet V. says, "Tam has been amazing with my daughter. We went from not knowing how to approach, navigate and get results to empowering my daughter to drive everything independently. She met with her every week, kept things simple yet very productive; from researching colleges, to essays and applying to scholarship - everything was very well covered. No constraints on number of meetings or unwanted complexities. Tam is very very knowledgeable, reachable and responsive. As parents we were very minimally involved because my daughter felt extremely empowered. We have not got all our results yet but my daughter already got admission from key colleges so we are really happy. I would definitely hire her for my next kid who will go to high school next year."See more

Nina J. says, "We are so incredibly grateful for Sami’s guidance over the last year. She helped my kid hone in on the right schools, right summer activities, how to write a great college essay etc. My kid received a full ride to UC Davis and is over the moon. Honestly, Sami is the best investment I have made when it comes to my children and I will be a returning customer with my second kid."See more

Robin D. says, "I wholeheartedly recommend Deirdre for her college admission coaching services. We purchased her full-service package and it was worth every penny. My son was late-diagnosed with ADHD, resulting in a high school GPA that did not accurately represent his intelligence, creativity, and intellectual curiosity. When we first spoke to Deirdre, after talking with a couple of other coaches, the first thing that struck me was that she wasn’t coming at it from the angle of what he would need to do to compensate for his lower GPA and test scores. Instead, she immediately saw my son’s strengths and talked about how to highlight those to make him stand out and how to find schools that would be the right fit for him and vice versa. Throughout the process, she always focused on his strengths and identifying schools where those strengths would be valued. She helped us develop a list of schools to apply to, helped my son come up with essay ideas, guided him through the writing process, helped him figure out which ECs to include and how to best describe them, and just generally kept him on track through the entire process. She even helped him sort through the acceptances and offers and come to a final decision. My son was accepted to every safety and target school he applied to and most of his reaches, so he ended up with a really wide range of options to choose from. The sheer number of acceptances, including those reaches, really boosted his confidence, which has, in turn, made him a better student and I’m sure will serve him well as he embarks on college. Thanks to Deirdre, I now understand that it is all about choosing the right schools based on the student’s interests and strengths, and her knowledge and insight into what makes my son special gave us the ability to do just that."See more
