"The first thing that came out of our daughter's mouth when we got home was…I can't wait to work with Jessica. I think the most important thing between a student and teacher/tutor is the connection, and she feels one with you. Thank you for that! ALL that you proposed sounds absolutely perfect and is exactly what she needs right now." - Burlingame High School Parent
The initial consultation is our first step. This is a time to meet, get to know one another, and develop a recommended timeline for moving forward. While I meet students at various stages of their academic career, from middle school students to seniors who have already begun to apply to college, the sooner we connect, the more streamlined and stress-free the process can be. To our first meeting, you will ideally bring a transcript, a writing sample or two, and any recent or available test scores. After gathering parent and student input, I'll generate a plan to best serve your needs. That plan might include academic tutoring and test preparation (SAT/ACT/AP's), as well as college planning and application support.
Most commonly, students begin working with me as tutoring clients and stay on for the college process -- and, of all of the facets of my practice, designing a respectful, manageable approach to college admissions is the aspect that I take the greatest pride in. (For a broader frame of reference: 96% of my students over the last two years got into one of their top two schools.) Students who begin in the spring of junior year typically finish their college applications by the time they begin senior year, allowing them to apply for Early admissions and then truly enjoy their final year of high school!
