Private K-12 admissions counseling

Finding the Right School Fit, From Kindergarten to High School

Whether you’re navigating the competitive Bay Area private school landscape or exploring public school transfers, applying to K–12 schools can be an overwhelming process. From understanding admissions timelines and testing requirements to crafting thoughtful personal statements and preparing for interviews, families often benefit from expert guidance.

At AJ Tutoring, we offer personalized K–12 admission counseling to help students and parents confidently approach school applications at every level—from kindergarten to high school. Our counselors work closely with families to clarify priorities, build strong application portfolios, and prepare students for entrance exams and interviews. Because we already know your student through tutoring or academic support, our team is well-positioned to provide tailored insight throughout the process.

In addition to our in-house services, we maintain a curated referral network of experienced local admissions consultants. Whether you’re seeking full-service support or targeted help with specific application components, we’ll help you find the right resources.
