I offer college guidance services to high school students beginning in grade 9 with an analysis of PSAT scores and moving forward to supporting their entire process from planning through decision-making in grade 12.

• Extensive follow up email relating to particulars of the students’ situation and suggestions for next steps including a schedule for communication between student and counselor
• Interface with school counselor if appropriate
