Private College Counselors

Our professional one-on-one tutoring helps students expand their college options by increasing their SAT and ACT scores and grades.

In addition to our tutoring services, we offer comprehensive Private college counseling to support students throughout the college application process. We encourage you to consider our in-house college admissions counseling services for personalized guidance and expert advice on applications, essays, and more.

However, we understand that our services may not be the ideal fit for every student, or there may be limited availability. If you’re seeking alternative resources, your high school’s college counseling department is a great place to start, as many provide excellent college counseling for free.

For those seeking supplemental assistance, there are also numerous private college counselors throughout the Bay Area. These independent counselors can help your family navigate the competitive college selection process. In the following section, you’ll find a list of Bay Area college counselors. We encourage you to explore these options and find the perfect fit for your student!
