COLLEGE ADVISING
A comprehensive plan starting with freshman year is available. I am also happy to begin working with your sophomore, junior, or senior. We will meet just about every way possible, most likely employing your preference: in-person, via Google Meet, or by phone, text, or email. The first meeting is complimentary. It will allow us to get acquainted, assess what you and your student envision accomplishing, and outline the parameters of our work together.
​
After our first consultation, I will meet with your student as often as necessary. I will always follow up visits with a synopsis of what we’ve covered and outline the next steps, including my obligations and the student’s.
​
I live on the phone, and if we don’t have an appointment and I am not immediately reachable, in case of an urgent need I will be back to you in a matter of minutes.
