    Not only did my work with Jill help me hone in on what career paths might work for me moving…read moreforward, but it also gave me a deeper understanding of what qualities and skills I can offer, and who I authentically am in the world. As a creative INFP person who has had a challenging time finding the right fit with career and life-path, I appreciated that Jill took a really down-to-earth approach and tuned into my specific personality, temperament, and personal history. She's very easy to talk with and also gives practical advice on how to navigate career, education, and job opportunities. I gained a lot of insight into what feels authentic to me as I continue to explore my options. It was a great privilege to be able work with Jill and take time to explore career paths more in depth, something I don't take for granted!

    After just the initial consultation with Jill I felt so seen and validated that I knew she could…read morehelp me find my path. Jill created a safe space where I could release my doubts and fears and discover my innate abilities and strengths. She helped me to define my values and understand my personality type so that I could find a career that aligned well with both. She also helped me to figure out the logistics of pursuing a masters degree with two young children. The tools and resources I received in my sessions with Jill were invaluable and are still serving me today. I learned so much about myself and her guidance and deep understanding of the interplay between interests, personality types, and career goals gave me the confidence I needed to apply for the MLIS program at San Jose State. I just started the program and feel like I'm finally pursuing something that really matters. I know that I will be building a career where I can excel, find purpose, make a difference, and financially support my family. I tell everyone I meet who is unhappy with their current career or in between careers to work with Jill - even just an hour of her time is priceless!

    Helping your child through the college process can be one of the most stressful experiences. As a…read moreparent, all we want is the best for our children. I can honesty say, having Pat Moore on your side is the best descision you will EVER make! She makes the whole process actually very enjoyable! i honestly believe with her on our side, my daughter is getting the best guidance and has a "secret weapon" in the college process. She's extremely likable, and what a "firecracker"!!! She has developed a great relationship with my daughter, built her confidence and has my daughter more motivated then ever( her GPA has reflected this) As a parent, if you want to be stress free , provide your child with the best and make the process of college smooth, give Pat a call! Best decision I ever made!

    Pat has been there for me throughout my academic and professional career which extends over ten…read moreyears. She has made it her personal mission to see that I obtain my dreams. I am so grateful that her passion and dedication reached me when I was in high school, and that she continues to be present in my life today. I can rely on her to provide guidance and realistic expectations, and she has become a friend in which I can confide in as well, especially when those hard times are ever present. She most truly is the quintessential mentor all adolescents need while planning their future academic and professional endeavors. Pat Moore is a knowledgable, passionate, and steadfast leader that has the ability to make your dreams a reality like she did for me.

    This was our first time going through the college application process of today. Everything is so…read moredifferent from when we went to school, that we knew we needed a professional to guide us and our son on his next journey. Tiffany was a good fit, very organized and kept our son accountable and on track with the application process. She really listened to our son, guiding him through the process with his best interests in mind. She reviewed his essays timely with constructive feedback that helped give him a competitive advantage and made him stand out among so many applicants. As a parent, you naturally want the counselor to weigh your choices more heavily than the student. However, Tiffany tries her best to balance out the differences in choices. Tiffany's templates were very helpful and she had a lot of good references to share. Both us and our son had weekly action items. Our meetings with her were on time, focused and kept us moving forward. She took us step by step and explained clearly. There were some moments where it felt like things were moving a little too fast in areas we wanted to spend more time, but when we asked for clarification, she did provide it. Tiffany's systematic approach to the college application process, along with her recommendations on schools based on our son's interests, contributed to the high volume of acceptance letters from schools of his choosing. As a family, we committed to the university that best suited our son's personality, needs, and goals. Tiffany was there every step of the way. We are grateful for her support and look forward to going through the process again with her in another three years with our youngest.

    Tiffany is amazing. She helped my senior son with his college application process…read more She helped him narrow down the college list. She worked with him to come up with a story about himself. On one occasion, my son decided to submit an appeal letter at the last minute. She was out of the country and my son was on vacation. Timing was very challenging. Nonetheless, Tiffany made herself available, stayed on top of it, and helped my son write and submit an appeal in a very short period of time. Best part of all is her communication skills. She knows how to work with teenagers. My son is introverted and sometimes it's hard for him to open up to people he doesn't know. Tiffany was able to make him feel comfortable and he was able to work with her genuinely. We were very happy with Tiffany's service, and when our younger son wanted to work with a counselor, we scheduled an initial meeting with her for him. During the initial meeting, my son already knew that he wanted to work with her and now Tiffany is his college counselor, too. I would recommend Tiffany to any high school student looking for an excellent college counselor. She is knowledgeable, approachable, and very passionate about what she does.

    We've had a great experience with Insight, Purvi is phenomenal. The college process can be…read moreoverwhelming, and a lot of it comes down to picking the right list of schools to apply to early and during regular decision. Insight has a lot of experience on this front, and also a lot of "insight" into what colleges look for. In short, Purvi has been able to guide us through the nuances of the application process. Additionally, she gave us some great advice around summer programs - we would have never found the ones that she suggested. We also had a great tutor for ACT from Insight, who was able to give my daughter some great tips. She ultimately got into her top-choice school. We are very happy with Insight, and have recommended them to many friends!

    Hi Ajit, Any chance I can get my $200 back for an initial consultation that was absolute nonsense?…read moreI have kindly asked for my money back multiple times. I want you to known that telling my kid who is STEM focused taking 10+ APs to consider taking a ceramics course doesn't cut it for a $200 initial consultation. JUST GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK. Just letting you know that your responses on your reviews of people who complain about your service is underwhelming. Improve your service and you will do much better. Ajit, I will continue to complain about the service I received to every Indian parent that I know in the Bay Area. If you think otherwise, you don't know me well... Based on your "Stanford MBA" education, you may certainly know that word travels fast in the Bay Area. A simple suggestion to all who read this (including you Ajit) - Do NOT pay $200 for an initial consultation. Simply request a free initial consultation so that you are aware of the all of the program details, the costs, and the proficiency level of the counselor. If they can't give you a free consultation, move on and find another program. Believe me, there are plenty of programs that give you all the information that you need without paying fees to find out. They should be selling you on the program and not the other way around. 8/18/25 - Ajit, I read your response. Your answer is false. My wife, my son, and I all attended the meeting with your "counselor." It was you who was missing in that meeting. So don't make up stuff. The fact remains that I have not received my $200 back....

    Review from my son: Zach Pava played a major role in my…read morecollege admissions process. Not only was his college essay feedback on 15+ essays extremely insightful, I felt that the manner in which he set up a schedule with deadlines and tasks was more helpful. He always kept in touch, especially during October and November, and always responded promptly. Zach set up mock interviews for me with other Insight counselors to practice for college admissions interviews, which did not count against my counseling hours! Also, the fact that Zach primarily worked over Skype was actually more convenient, since I did not have drive to the Cupertino office all the time for the counseling; instead, I could just do it over Skype in my room.

    I just recently graduated from Emory University, and upon finishing my time in undergrad, I found…read moremyself looking back and reflecting on my college application process. I am the eldest in my family, and a first-generation American, so my family and I were unseasoned and largely out of our comfort zone when the time came to begin applying to universities. I found Zach through Insight, and he was a tremendous help to me, offering up suggestions about colleges I may be interested in applying to, prepping me for college tours and visits, editing my personal statements and supplemental essays, and offering me any guidance or support I needed throughout the long process. While I was a bit shy and lacking in confidence, Zach saw my strengths and potential, and constantly motivated me to challenge myself, ensuring that my applications reflected my best attributes. With Zach as my counselor, I never once felt stressed or overwhelmed about writing my applications, as Zach planned out deadlines for all components of my applications, ensuring that I would have everything in on time. Zach's genuine concern for my well-being and future was palpable throughout the application process, and after being accepted into Emory, my top choice school, Zach continued to be supportive of my aspirations. He was always more than happy to answer any questions I had about college and the future beyond. I highly recommend Zach not only as a college counselor, but also as a trusted mentor. His help was, and continues to be, an invaluable resource for me and my family!
