À la carte
Some students choose to mix and match. That’s ok, too. Come to us with your needs and we will help you figure out the mix of services that is right for you.
Investment
Services are offered in batches of hour-long sessions. Because we treat every client as unique, there is no fixed number of sessions we require. However, students should come to us prepared to commit to working hard on themselves.
Although every student is different, we generally recommend a minimum of 10 sessions for test prep services, a minimum of 15 sessions for full application consulting services.
Packages and pricing available upon request and can be tailored to the individual student needs.
