Rest assured there are many thriving STEM programs available to students. Once I better understand your child, their interests, and needs, I’d be happy to make some recommendations.

Can you suggest some colleges with strong focus in STEM opportunities?

08

Absolutely! I will complete a full profile assessment with your child. I’ll analyze their personal, academic, and extracurricular profile when we first start working together. My goal is to make sure students have a balanced profile, identify any gaps that might exist, and make a plan to fill those gaps.

Can you provide feedback on my child’s extracurricular activities and clubs?
