What students are saying…
“If you are stressing and lost on what to do for college, you’re in the right place. Katherine was a lifesaver for me!”
“With College college closing in, I felt like I had no sense on where my life may lead. I had no colleges in mind, no possible career paths, and no knowledge on how to research what colleges would be most beneficial to me. After taking this course, I feel like I have a better idea of what colleges would most fit me and my personality. In this course, I learned more about myself and how I function best as an individual; while matching them with career paths and colleges that best fit me. If you want to be ahead of the college planning game, I recommend you take this course!”
“I felt my time with Katherine was extremely valuable and beneficial for my journey to college. She was very knowledgeable about the application process, and it was reassuring to have someone who was able to easily answer all of my questions.”
