Featured Reviews
“Working with John, Quenton, and Sophia was an excellent experience. They relieved much of the stress associated with the college application process for our daughter and us as parents. Through their coaching, our daughter has gained valuable knowledge and confidence. More importantly, she discovered herself, recognized her potential, and developed a strong drive for excellence during the process. Additionally, she made significant progress in discipline and time management skills, which will benefit her throughout her life.”

“Thank you both for your incredible guidance. I truly believe I wouldn’t have been accepted into Stanford without your support.
Quenton, your feedback on every essay draft was invaluable—I learned so much about writing with authenticity.
John, your advice and process are everything an ideal college advisor should be—authentic, passionate, and strategic.
What I thought would be a formulaic process turned into a creative journey, where I learned to express my true self. I’m so grateful for everything and happy to share my experience publicly.”

“John and Quenton’s mentorship throughout the college application process was nothing short of transformative. Not only did they make the path forward clear and achievable, but they also helped my son grow as an individual. Their strategy was thorough, wise, and practical, providing actionable steps that truly resonated with us. They didn’t just give advice—they empowered us to think critically and present ourselves in the most compelling way. Throughout the process, they were incredibly responsive, always addressing our concerns with care and consideration. I couldn’t have asked for better guidance, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking top-notch college counseling.”
