Personal Website
Creating a personal website is an excellent way to showcase achievements, community service, and talents. It provides a platform to highlight photos, videos, and galleries, especially for performing artists, visual artists, and athletes. This website can be continuously updated throughout high school and beyond, offering a dynamic portfolio that grows with the individual.
I provide multiple test prep resources, including free websites, eBooks with tips and information for each section of the SAT/ACT, and a personalized study schedule. Some links to study platforms are free, while others may have a small charge, offering you a range of options to suit your needs.

Interview Coaching
The college interview is a crucial part of the application process, and for test-optional schools, it becomes even more important. In addition to preparing your answers, I provide coaching on body language and effective communication to help you make a strong impression. Interview preparation is conducted via Zoom or GoogleMeets, offering a convenient platform to practice, refine your responses, and build confidence for your interview.
I have already compiled a variety of external scholarships, and I can help find ones that match your student’s specific interests, whether based on talents, disabilities, or specialized fields. These scholarships may be need-based, merit-based, or both, and are available for high school and undergraduate students. I also provide access to scholarship search websites and an eBook featuring specific opportunities. This service is included as part of the comprehensive package for students I’m currently working with and is not available as a standalone service.
