College Consulting and Mentoring

As an IECA certified independent education consultant specializing in US college admissions, Jason helps students develop and articulate the traits and attributes that colleges look for in applicants.

The key to applying to college is proving that you will be successful. But students are so busy working on academics and tests that they don’t know where to start talking about the traits that will make them stand out.

One of the best ways to ensure that colleges know that you are prepared to succeed is to have a strong narrative and theme in your application.

Jason works with students to develop the stories and themes that will strengthen their application by helping students identify a direction and purpose to guide them into their college years and beyond.

Over the course of an academic year, we may work on the following:

• Course selection and academic planning
• Strategies for maintaining/raising GPA
• Linking personal and academic interests
• Developing ideas during summer and holidays to create new experiences
• Planning and reviewing extra-curricular activities
• Brainstorming and developing unique passion projects
• weighing options and finding meaningful volunteer and work/internship experiences.
• Developing standardized testing strategies and planning.
• Developing and demonstrating traits that matter
• Building relationships with teachers and other recommenders.
• Developing and finalizing a balanced college application list
• Guidance on Common Application/UC application platform and strategies

With clarity and control of the process, we work together on an individual student academic plan, with a purposeful and unique student profile and theme.

Jason will clearly explain the college application process to develop understanding and a sense of control/certainty leading to a complete application, including review of all essays and written requirements to tell the students unique story.
