What's included
This is a comprehensive, end-to-end virtual coaching engagement designed around the student’s application calendar and deadlines. We will begin with a detailed review of the student’s academic record, activities, goals, and current college list. From there, we will develop a personalized strategy, application timeline, and writing plan. Coaching sessions will occur regularly throughout the engagement, with meeting frequency adjusted when appropriate around major deadlines. My coaching style is strategic, candid, supportive, and highly personalized. I combine extensive admissions experience with professional training in school counseling to help students stay organized, communicate authentically, and make informed decisions throughout the process. Essay coaching is collaborative. I help students identify meaningful topics, strengthen structure and clarity, and refine their writing while preserving their ideas and individual voice. I do not write essays or application materials for students. Written feedback will be provided through shared documents. Each meeting will conclude with clear priorities and action items, followed by a written summary. Brief questions are welcome by email between sessions and will generally receive a response within two business days. Parents will be included at appropriate strategic checkpoints while the student remains the primary participant and owner of the application process.

Expert Admissions Coach
I’m a college admissions strategist and school counselor with nearly a decade of experience helping students turn their interests, experiences, and ambitions into thoughtful plans for college and beyond. Before founding Stewart Educational Consulting, I served as Head Educational Strategist at a national college admissions consulting firm, where I led and coached a team of strategists while advising students and families navigating highly selective admissions. Throughout my career, I have supported hundreds of students, reviewed hundreds of applications annually, and contributed to outcomes including Ivy League acceptances and Top 20 universities. My approach combines strategic admissions expertise with a foundation in counseling. I help students strengthen their academic and extracurricular positioning, develop balanced college lists, manage the application process, and create personal statements and supplemental essays that genuinely reflect who they are. I believe the best coaching provides more than a polished application. It gives students clarity, accountability, and the confidence to take ownership of their story. My goal is to make an often-overwhelming process feel organized, purposeful, and manageable for both students and their families.
