If you want to relieve some of the stress and conflict that you will surely encounter with your teenager during the college application process, I highly recommend seeking the services that College Inroads can provide! P.S. My son got accepted at each college he applied to!

She was calming and reassuring and was able to guide us and keep the kids organized/on track through every step of the process!

Neisha also share various scholarship opportunities and websites and coached the kids through the application steps. Additionally, she spent time with us discussing what to expect in terms of attendance costs and financial aid options. Neisha was a pleasure to work with, was always available for questions from either us or the kids and she's very supportive and encouraging. Thankfully, our kids were accepted into the colleges of their choice and we owe a big thank you to Neisha!

She recommended schools we hadn't thought of - one of which my daughter will attend, participating in their honors program. And she received such a big scholarship that it was more cost-effective for her to attend that particular school than having her stay in-state! She allowed us parents to step back from the process, and worked directly with our student without us, which was a relief to us all, quite frankly! Vicki was encouraging, but quite focused, and she kept us all from being completely overwhelmed by the process of applying to schools. She is an investment worth making.

When applying to undergraduate programs, I worked with numerous college admissions counselors that…read moretended to induce, rather than alleviate, the stress associated with the application process. They would place me on a strict schedule based on the number of sessions I purchased and were so caught up in writing what they thought college admissions boards would want to read that I ended up submitting personal statements that were not so personal. With that said, Sean is not your typical college admissions counselor. He treated me like an actual person, not just a paycheck. At our first session, Sean took the time to simply talk to me and figure out what drove me to this particular career path. He then helped me channel my passion into an eloquent, interesting general personal statement that was later tailored to four different graduate programs. In working with Sean, I did not get just a personal statement, I got complete application support. He gave me his cellphone number and encouraged me to text him with any questions between sessions. He was always quick to respond and would also text me to check-in on my progress. This type of regular communication allowed us to get the small details out of the way and focus on the more important aspects of each application during our face-to-face meetings. Applying to graduate school is overwhelming, but Sean made the process nearly stress-free. I believe his genuine interest in my success was key to writing a personal statement that stood out in a pile of cookie cutter essays. It feels so good to say that I was ACCEPTED TO ALL four graduate programs I applied to and will be attending my dream school starting this fall. Next time I need support on any type of professional application, I will not hesitate to contact Sean and you should too!

I reached out, and Andre got back to me the very next day with a professional and detailed email explaining his process and how he works with students. What really stood out to me was that he doesn't just jump into tutoring--he starts with an initial assessment to understand where the student is, then builds a plan from there. I'll be honest--at first we were a little unsure because we hadn't realized he had moved during the pandemic and now does sessions online. But I'm so glad I went with my gut. From the very first session, it was clear that Andre truly cares about his students. He was patient, encouraging, and explained things in a way that made sense to Kloee. She even told me she liked how he used real-life examples to help her connect the dots. After just about two months of working with him, Kloee's score went up by 220 points -- especially in math, where she saw the biggest improvement. We were beyond proud of her, and I know Andre played a huge role in that. We're planning to continue with him this summer to focus more on reading and writing so she can boost her score even more for the August SAT. If you're looking for a tutor who is responsive, thoughtful, and really knows how to connect with students, I can't recommend Andre enough. He was the perfect fit for us!
