MAXIMIZE YOUR CHANCES FOR ADMISSION!
At this time, I am accepting a limited number of students. The process begins with an intensive 20-30 minutes complimentary interview for the family. The student's academic history (including transcript, aptitude test scores, extracurricular activities, volunteer work and personality traits) will be assessed in detail. If the family decides to continue as clients, my services are offered on an hourly basis. Fees are reasonable and negotiable.
