Education is an enormous investment. Therefore, you want to make your educational experiences as effective as possible. Help and advice can be the difference between frustration and wasting time and learning and moving ahead. But you don’t want this advice to cost a fortune, either.


Group experiences are an efficient and enjoyable way to learn the things you need to know. I designed my seminars and camps as a cost-effective way to learn about education and college at critical turning points in the process.


Ideally, a parent would join in the “Mentoring Your Teenager” seminar at the beginning of high school to understand how to help their child explore and develop extracurricular skills, and find expert mentors outside the family. The student would then participate in “College Explorations” after 9th or 10th grade and develop a targeted list of colleges to research and maybe visit. By the summer before senior year, the student, armed with extracurricular success and an idea of the college experience he or she seeks, would write an excellent application at my “Crafting Your Application” camp.
