Testimonials
We worked with Kim for around three years, and she made our college experience a breeze...She helped us apply to summer programs, find volunteer work, prepare for tests, and helped with all our son’s application requirements, even keeping him scheduled and on track. Kim is extremely knowledgeable and made sure we made the right decisions along the way.

In the beginning I was really overwhelmed with everything. Kim is not someone working for some test prep agency or large company so she had time to really focus on me. She walked me through everything and kept me calm. In the end, I feel like we have developed a friendship, and I know I can talk to her whenever I need.
Andrew Flores
Kimberly is a very nice and encouraging teacher. She taught me more than how to write college essays; she showed me how to write my resume and tailor my writing for different schools. Her help definitely led to acceptances at the schools I applied to. I received several acceptances and feel really good about my decision.
