What Do Clients Say?
"Linda did an outstanding job of helping us eliminate the
confusion surrounding 'where to start' in the college
application process. She helped us identify what specific
characteristics we were looking for in a college, how to
narrow our choices, and gave us a realistic picture of which
colleges were within or beyond our reach. She essentially
gave us a set of procedures to follow, which greatly simplified
the whole college application process. Her Paving the Way
Program was invaluable to both Jordan and myself."
Linda Krauss, mother of Jordan, Monte Vista High
School
“Linda was an indispensable asset in guiding our two
children through the college application maze. She relates to
teenagers and adults equally well, building trust and
confidence with both. We found Linda’s advice, counseling
and style to be very personalized.”
Richard and Debbie Roof, parents of Katie and Alan
Roof, Monte Vista High School.
“I'm glad we met with you. Your insights and suggestions
were most helpful and I especially appreciate the personal
interest you take in the students you serve. Thank you for
your analysis and suggestions. It was well worth the
investment and time.”

School
