College Counseling for Fearless Homeschoolers

Your Homeschool Story Matters.

How You Share It With Colleges Matters, Too.

My mission is simple: to get your homeschooler into a college they love.

I want you to love it, too. Academically, socially, financially.

How will I do it? By guiding your homeschooler through the college admissions process in a thoughtful, meaningful way.

I’ll help your teen uncover who they are and what matters most to them. When that happens, their story leads us through the college search, the homeschool documents, and the college application.

Your homeschooler’s story matters. And so does finding the college they’ll soon call home.

How I Can Help

Why a Homeschool College Admissions Consultant?

Most college consultants don’t understand homeschooling.

They’ve never navigated the unique challenge of being both parent and counselor. They don’t know how to create transcripts and homeschool documents that tell your teen’s story. And they certainly don’t know what admissions officers are really looking for from homeschoolers.

That’s where I come in.

How I’m Different

Homeschoolers I’ve Worked With

Homeschoolers can look wildly different from one another. Here’s just a sampling of the types of families I’ve had the pleasure of working with:

• New homeschoolers and seasoned homeschoolers
• Students attending non-traditional schools
• Students applying to Ivies, state schools, liberal arts colleges, and technical programs
• STEM-focused students, artists, athletes, and those still exploring
• Families seeking financial and merit aid and those who aren’t
• U.S. students, international students, and Americans living abroad

Y got into Northeastern!!!!! On a FULL scholarship in their Honors program! You are such a god send. You went above and beyond to support me and Y and I am so so grateful for your immense generosity. — Melissa, Mentor to Y (Northeastern University ‘25)

What I Offer

Professionalism: As a proud member of IECA and PACAC, I uphold their standard of ethics.

Up-to-Date Knowledge: Because I visit dozens of schools a year, I’m familiar with the most current vibes and programs offered at hundreds of schools.

A Data-Centered approach: I love digging into industry and college admission data. It helps us make informed decisions.

Recognition in the Industry: I wrote the homeschooling chapter in College Essay Guy’s book, College Admissions Essentials.

A Vast Network: If I don’t have an answer, my wise colleagues around the country certainly do.

I wanted to formally offer my thanks for all your help in the daunting college process. A year ago, I was packing for my first college visits, and today I’ve just finished UNpacking in my dorm at BU! — Avery, Double Major, Music and History (Boston University ‘24)
