Coleman College COUNSELING & Career Coaching
Michele Coleman
11th Grade Services
Junior Year is when the planning and preparation switch into action. Junior Services include:
The Comprehensive Package
This is by far the most popular package among my junior families. It includes continuous coaching from our first day together until your student begins college, up to 26 months of unlimited research, and coaching via text, email, and phone.
Meeting frequency depends on your student’s year in high school.
Typically, we have:
-
Once per month in 11th
-
Up to 4 meetings per month during 12th grade until all applications are submitted, and then as needed until the end of service.
-
1 meeting during a student’s freshman year in college
I’ll guide you and your student through all aspects of the college search process utilizing private sessions and working through each step together. We start at the beginning and assess where the student is regarding GPA, Curriculum, and extracurriculars and move to the identification of majors, new opportunities to strengthen their application, eventually working through essays, and applications and ending with decisions and transitions.
Hourly Coaching Sessions
Hourly Blocks: This package is perfect for one student who needs just a bit of coaching, or it can be used by several family members. For instance, perhaps you have a student in 8th, who needs a planning meeting, a student in 10th who could use some career/major exploration, and you would like a parent meeting to discuss financial aid. You can now split hours between family members and renew as your needs change. This package is primarily designed for families with students in 8th -11th grade. Hours are priced at a discounted hourly rate and can be renewed or upgraded.
This service offers coaching via virtual meetings, email, or phone. All contact, meetings, and research completed on behalf of the client is tracked in 15-minute increments, there are no refunds for meetings or work already completed and it is the responsibility of the client to schedule hours.
*Ask me about monthly payment plans!
Junior Monthly
This package is for you If you'd like to get your student started on the college process, don’t want to commit to a Comprhensive Package, but would like a full month of coaching.
Junior year is when the hard work starts on the practical side of college admissions. Book a month, two, or as many as you need to get your student on track and prepared for applications. One in Fall, One in Spring, both in Spring, etc. It doesn’t matter how many or how few, scheduling and signing, is entirely up to you. There is no commitment, and months do not have to be consecutive. The amount of tasks completed depends entirely on the pace of your student.
This package includes:
-
1 Meeting per month
-
30 days of unlimited research and coaching via text, email, and phone.
