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 a family with several students in differences stages of the 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 and is perfect if you’d like the ability to contact me with questions about your student's first experience in high school, class choices, and how to best prepare your student for their future college experience.  It’s never too early to begin planning.

 

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.
