A Right Start Planning Meeting

​

This service is perfect for families with students in 10th grade looking to get a jump start on college planning. It includes:

• Student and Parent Pre-Meeting Questionnaires

• One virtual family meeting to discuss the results from the questionnaires, an analysis of the student's GPA, curriculum, extra-curricular and volunteer involvement.

• The goals, dreams ambitions of the student as well as parent hopes and concerns.

 

As a result of our meeting, each student and family will receive:

• A Personalized College Process Timeline based on the student’s grade and goals.

• Specific Action Steps tailored to each student to be used to progress on their own or to use in conjunction with future coaching from Coleman College Counseling.

• An Assessment or Resources specific to the student’s needs that were discussed in our meeting.

• A Financial Aid Basics Guide, to get parents on the right track to understanding the college financial aid process.

 

As a bonus, every student and parent will receive an additional 30 days of email or phone coaching to allow for follow-up questions!

 

Hourly​ Sessions

​

Hourly Blocks: This package is perfect for one student who needs just a bit of coaching, or for a family with several members in stages of the college process. 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.

The Comprehensive Package

(Fees are paid monthly & divided by the number of months we work together from the date of signing until June of Senior Year.)

​

If you’d like continuous individual coaching from our first day together until your student begins college, The Comprehensive Package will be right for you. Includes up to 38 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:

• 2-4 in 10th

• Once per month in 11th

• Up to 4 meetings per month in 12th until all applications are submitted, and then as needed until the end of service.

• Monthly meetings in the summer post high school graduation on an as needed basis for clients to assist them in transitioning.

• 1 meeting during a student’s freshman year in college.

• Unlimited coaching via text, email, and phone.

• Parent meetings are included.

 

What does this package include?

Everything your student will need to complete a successful college search! I’ll personally 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 identification of majors, new opportunities to strengthen their application, summer programs, eventually working through essays, applications, and ending with decisions and transitions.
