Sumaiya is nothing short of the best educational advocate. Her superb service assisted my son not only with his education but during a very dramatic time when he sustained an injury leaving him temporarily handicapped for a year. I consider myself to be extremely organized and paying attention to detail especially when it comes to my children. Although I was doing all the right things by following up once I saw my son was being ignored. I too was being ignored regarding my son's accommodations. Regardless if you are a professional at what you do when it comes to getting through to most of these schools which are considered to be highly sought after and difficult to be admitted, Sumaiya puts things in perspective that would inspire you to dream big and go for it. I told her the situation and she went to work immediately (the next day). Often times you need someone to step into the middle especially if it is your children because it takes the emotion out of it. She taught me so much in such a little time. Please do not hesitate to hire her because she can move mountains and the people you have difficulty reaching wouldn't be for her. She is nothing short of the best I have ever seen. Everyone who came in contact with her asked where did you find her..... She is my secret weapon!!!! I was so happy that my good friend referred me to her. I had to write this review of my experience. In the end she was able to get my son's his accommodations he needed for the 8th grade and he made Honor Roll every Quarter thereafter. He also was admitted to a highly competitive school and currently he made the Principals List with all A's. If anyone needs to personally contact me regarding the details of my experience please do not hesitate to contact me. read more

Sumaiya is one of the most competent and inspired professionals I have ever worked with. She came highly recommended by a friend who had previously invested in her services. Upon our first phone call, Sumaiya revealed her deep insight and understanding of the inner workings of academia. I was under the impression that my college application was already stellar and that it properly portrayed me as a student. Though I had the raw materials for a great application, much was missing. Sumaiya provided me with specific tasks to accomplish while providing the reasoning behind her recommendations. Sumaiya's strength is in identifying the weakest links of your application and combining this with her deep understanding of the college admissions process. She can thus perceive how an admissions officer will read your application and can then implement the necessary changes to strengthen these areas. She took time in getting to know me not only as a student, but as a human being, and was thus able to help me present myself as a complex, multi-faceted being. Sumaiya provided me with the necessary tools to take control of my narrative, and helped me to curate essay responses that reflected my self-knowledge, personal growth, and inner passion. Through this process, I now feel confident about attending a top university. I could not give higher praise for Sumaiya's professionalism and utmost personal care for each individual student. She is deeply hopeful, understanding, motivating, and knowledgeable about the inner workings of the elusive college admissions process. Sumaiya was constantly encouraging, always on-call, extremely prompt, eager to help and ready to provide a wealth of information at every call. Look no further. read more

Ms. Sumaiya Olatunde is EXCELLENT. She is thorough, detailed, and incredibly knowledgeable of the college admissions process. Her ability to really pierce through all of the details within a high school student's profile (transcripts, grades, coursework, activities, etc.) and then pierce through their desires, emotions and opinions, in order to devise a game plan for the student on what is best for him/her, is unparalleled. Ms. Olatunde really has a unique ability that enables her students to think critically and honestly about their short-term and long-term interests. She immediately is able to build trust with her students and then is able to guide them through a stress-free application process. Moreover, Ms. Olatunde is an amazing writer who can help a student tremendously in putting their thoughts and words into an appropriate essay, one that is written in the right high school voice, and written in a way to match the student's personality. I am also impressed at how much perspective Ms. Olatunde is able to give a student and how well she is able to connect with them so quickly. She makes you feel so at ease in-person and through email, and she makes you become at peace with the process, which is so important. She is also incredibly responsive through email communication. We were very lucky to have her available and we highly recommend her to any high school student who needs essay help and college application and career guidance. I cannot think of a better educational consultant out there than Ms. Olatunde. read more

H2D Counseling helped our eldest successfully gain entrance to several selective universities, including the one she now attends. Sumaiya came to our house to meet with our daughter (pre-Covid), and her insight was invaluable; she helped our daughter determine her true goals and shape her extra-curricular and service experiences to maximize her opportunities to attend colleges that excited her. Sumaiya's guidance helped our daughter to choose where to apply and to write admissions essays that spoke from the heart in her own voice, with gentle editing and essay subjects informed by Sumaiya's long experience and successes. She helped us to understand the very competitive world of undergraduate institutions and admissions, which significantly reduced our stress. Even if we were not both working and had all the time in the world, we would not have been able to add value to our daughter's college search and application the way that Sumaiya did. It was such a relief to feel like we were helping our daughter have her best chance to get into a university she would love-- which is exactly what she did. Finally, we found Sumaiya to be very easy to work with; she was flexible, affordable, and most importantly, our daughter liked her! We are now employing Sumaiya to help our middle child. read more

I spent the end of my junior year and the first 3 months of my senior year trying to figure out how I was going to deal with my college applications. I was afraid that I did not have the ability to write a perfect essay and a good resume until I met one member of the H2D Counseling. She was one of the best people I ever met in my whole life. She helped me get through one thing that I thought was going to be the hardest thing that I have ever done in my life and made it so easy. She helped me write my essays and she also gave lots of feedback. She also helped me create a formal resume which can be applicable for college and job applications. I met her at my high school and she was there almost the entire year helping students like me and a bunch of other seniors with college applications. She tried hard to make every paper as perfect as she could. She gave her effort in everything. She was very patient, respectful and understanding. I don't think I would have gotten into such a great university without H2D Counseling, and for that I am so thankful. I encourage any students who have trouble with college applications to contact H2D Counseling because they are the best at what they do. read more

The process of applying to college can be particularly harrowing for anyone. It would be an understatement to say I was lost upon entering the college application process. I lacked a clear direction in my college search, as well as the ability to put together a clear and concise application on my own. This all changed upon meeting a member of H2D Counseling. She was warm and welcoming, able to quickly discern my strengths and weaknesses, and also what I truly wanted out of a four-year university. She was very easy to talk to. We quickly put together a fantastic application, one that I undoubtedly would not have been able to do on my own, and she walked me through the entire process. I could not have asked for more as she went above and beyond what was expected to help me individually, providing her undivided attention to assist me with the application process. I got into some schools I would have never thought possible. I would strongly urge students who need help with their college applications to contact H2D counseling because the amount of help you will receive is invaluable. read more
