Services We Offer
Every service is one-on-one, in person in Missoula or over Zoom with students across the country and abroad.
Comprehensive college admissions support
Your student is one-of-a-kind. Their advising should be too. From building the school list through essays, scholarships, and the final decision, we guide students and families through every phase, one-on-one, in Missoula or over Zoom. Choose Comprehensive (weekly meetings, start to finish) or Essentials (a set block of hours for the pieces you need most).
Graduate school admissions
GRE and LSAT prep, program research, resume review, and application essay editing for competitive medical, law, and graduate programs nationwide. Many of our former students come back for this round, and we work with new graduate applicants too, over Zoom from anywhere.
High school and college planning
The most valuable work often happens before senior year. We help students figure out what they want to study and why, explore those interests in authentic and productive ways, choose the courses that keep doors open (it is easy to close one by accident), and build a testing timeline that fits. Students who start early arrive at applications with a real story to tell and the skills to thrive once they get to college. For 8th graders through juniors.
Digital SAT and Enhanced ACT prep
Both tests changed. Our materials changed with them. For students who choose to test, each gets concept reviews, targeted practice, and a Desmos guide built from their own practice test results, plus weekly one-on-one sessions in Missoula or over Zoom. For students who should not test, we say so. Also PSAT, GRE, and LSAT.
College and scholarship essay consulting
We help students tell their own story in their own words, so admissions and scholarship readers meet the three-dimensional student, not just the numbers. The words stay the student's. One-on-one, in Missoula or over Zoom anywhere.
Tutoring and academic support
Subject tutoring, study skills, writing, and organizational support for students of all ages, from middle school through college, including undergraduates who want to make the most of college once they get there. One-on-one, in Missoula or over Zoom.
How pricing works
Every family starts with a 60 to 90 minute initial meeting ($200) that ends with a written plan and resources, whether or not you continue. From there, Comprehensive clients meet weekly and are billed monthly by the hour, with a typical range we will walk you through before you commit and a monthly cap you can set. Essentials clients purchase a block of hours.
We reserve a limited number of need-based scholarships for each graduating class, covering 10% to 90% of our fees for families earning under $200,000. Because they are limited per class, the earlier you reach out, the more likely one is still available for your student's year.
