I truly appreciate her kindness, professionalism, and the genuine care she shows for students and families. Highly recommend.

As a single parent striving to put two children through college, the process often felt overwhelming. Lea provided consistent support at every stage and made the entire experience significantly more manageable. With her expert guidance, both of my children successfully graduated from outstanding institutions -- the University of San Diego and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I cannot adequately express my appreciation for the support, knowledge, and encouragement she provided over the years. I would highly recommend Lea's services to anyone seeking professional college planning assistance or expert guidance in navigating the college admissions process.Thank you again

Greg was recommended by a friend of mine and at first I wasn't sure we would need him. My son had a…read moregreat GPA and very good SAT score, so we thought we could do all the college applications essays himself. Well, a month before he was supposed to submit his essays he decided that he did not like what he wrote and that it wasn't representing who he was. In a panic mode we contacted Greg to help. In just a month they were able to do an incredible common app essay and over 10 supplemental essays for all the EAs my son was sending out. In short 2 months my son was able to submit around 40 supplemental essays to various top 20 Engineering schools. Greg provided an amazing structure, accountability and results. It made the process so much easier and stress free, not only for my son, but also for us, the parents. And the best part of this process is, that it gave my son a much clearer picture of who he was, what he strengths are, he was able to grasp all his accomplishments from someone that has never met him before and it's not his relative. PARENTS this is HUGE for a teenager!!! We are early in the game but so far from the 2 universities that my son applied early to, with decisions by the end of the year, he was accepted to both. We can't wait to see where he ends up going! Thanks Greg, for all your help!

We will use him for ACT prep this summer as well as math tutoring. We know this is an area of strength for Greg, as tutoring was his prior career. Greg has a great demeanor. He is very approachable and he listens attentively. Greg provides balanced, fair, and honest feedback that leaves us realistic yet hopeful about college prospects. We feel so fortunate to have found an "all in one" tutor and college counselor who will guide us through these next few years.

I cannot tell you how lucky and blessed we feel that we had Chrissy's and the Next Chapter College…read moreCounseling services for our son's college application process! We moved away for two years to a different state during high school but my son was miserable and his grades went into the dumps... Let's just say, beyond dumps! This was such a hard pill to swallow because we moved for specific reasons not ever thinking that his grades would be affected. I have known Chrissy for about 13 years. She use to be a very sought-after teacher in OC but a few years back she quit her career and started her own business helping kids through the college application process. I reached out to her during my son's junior year in January in desperate need, praying that she could help us. My kid did not want to go through the JC route like my daughter did but he knew that he screwed up the two years that we were out of state. Our family sat down on a Zoom with Chrissy while we were still living out of state, and here's the kicker... she had a plan, while we did not. Our kid would need to Zoom with her almost weekly, work hard in his classes and get his grades up, take some summer classes, work on college essays with her, study different universities, and really get his sh*t together. We knew it wouldn't be easy but we had faith that if he could turn his grades around with A LOT of hard work he just might be able to go to a four-year college. As I write this today, I'm so proud to say that he pulled a 4.0 his first semester after moving back home (felt like I had my boy back). And he also completed those two summer classes and passed with flying colors. He applied to 10 colleges and received 9 acceptances!!! We are thrilled and beyond thankful for Chrissy and her services, we cannot recommend her enough!

I am always surprised when I see her course work both with how engaging the work is and how well she is completing the tasks.

It's not even a question of if our 3rd will attend. Just a matter or when! To be able to drop my kids off at a place I know is safe and they are genuinely excited to go is such a huge win.

We traveled from a distance from Newport to have her attend the school and it was worth every minute on the bus or in the car to be part of this wonderful community.

Thank you St. Margaret's.
