Want Your Child to get into their dream school? Start With a Proven Admissions Strategy.

We had a fantastic experience working with Kathleen, George, and especially Becky at The College Coaches. Becky’s knowledge and support were invaluable. What initially felt like an overwhelming process quickly became manageable thanks to her calm and reassuring presence. Our son truly enjoyed working with Becky and felt confident under her guidance. She’s not only incredibly knowledgeable and insightful, but also empathetic, a great listener—and genuinely funny!

We’re already looking forward to working with Becky again when it’s our daughter’s turn. We wholeheartedly recommend The College Coaches; their expertise made all the difference, and we can’t imagine navigating the process without them!

I felt supported and could reach out for help whenever I needed.

All I can say is that The College Coaches are the ABSOLUTE BEST!! They guided us with all three of our children and our experience was great. They kept my children on track and kept my husband and me calm throughout the process. I highly recommend them!!!

College coaches is a great organization with caring college professionals. We were very happy with their guidance and support of our son and of us!

Great experience with The College Coaches

College Coaches are wonderful. We are so grateful we had them to help us through this challenging process! Highly recommend!!

The College Coaches team is very professional and knowledgeable. Our two students have received extremely useful support from The College Coaches and we will forever remain grateful for that. We will highly recommend The College Coaches to families looking for professional coaching for their students during the college application and admission process. Thank you to The College Coaches.

One of the best decisions we made during the summer before senior year was to send our twin daughters to the College Coaches' Essay and Common App class. Our girls completed the Common App in a matter of hours. They thanked us each night for allowing them to take the essay class because they were done with their essay before the school year started. As a result, they started senior year feeling less stressed and confident in their ability to submit strong applications.

Fast forward to spring and both girls were accepted at their first choice colleges: Wake Forest and the United States Naval Academy. Becky's guidance during the service academy application process was key!

Great, personalized service!

We would highly recommend The College Coaches! Our daughter had the best experience with her coach and ended up getting admitted to her top school. Her coach’s knowledge, guidance, and expertise proved invaluable!

Kathleen at the College Coaches was just who our family needed to help us think through an application strategy, to reduce our stress by keeping us on track, and to boost our daughter's spirits throughout the process. Thank you Kathleen!

Kathleen was a tremendous resource throughout the process and George did a great job keeping us on track with payments and scheduling (we were not easy clients due to busy schedules, but he took it all in stride with kindness and understanding). Kathleen helped identify schools we hadn’t thought of, and peeled back the curtain on the college app process, which has changed so much since we went through it. She also provided invaluable structure, feedback and encouragement to help our Senior write and perfect his essay. We are so grateful!

Kathleen was a true professional in every way. She was patient, thoughtful, and wise. A winning combination. Applying to colleges is extremely stressful and confusing, and we could not have done it without Kathleen. My son was admitted into his top choice college. We are grateful for Kathleen’s experience and guidance.

I had a very positive experience working with Kathleen. She is responsive, honest, and will always point you in the right direction. Because of her, my college process was quick and easy.

It was an amazing decision to use College Coaches to help me with my college applications! I had around the clock support, answering any questions I had and helping me build confidence in my applications. Thanks to Kathleen and George Sparrow I was able to get into my top choice and had a pain free application process!

Even my jaded teenager enjoyed the essay-writing process! Kathleen and her team know how to get the best out of these kids and turn it into a compelling essay.

Kathleen was an excellent college coach. She helped my daughter from start to finish in creating a college list, making sure the common app provided the correct information and helping with essay writing, word count, etc. Kathleen has a kind and positive approach to a difficult process. She never added to the stress! We highly recommend college coaches.

College coaches reviewed my essay and returning it quickly. It was an amazing experience working with Ms. Kathleen, Mr. George, and Ms. Becky. I have never felt better about my writing because of the atmosphere they created. Any questions about my service academy applications, Ms. Becky answered. I would highly recommend college coaches to anyone looking to get their college writing or applications perfect and fully completed.

Fantastic help with our son to extract a great essay! So grateful for this excellent college coaching.

Great responsiveness and tips, but I felt like I did a lot of the work on my own anyways. The College Coaches give a great head-start for those who haven’t yet found their footing, like myself. Especially if you’re a student who has limited assistance from their parents, the College Coaches will definitely point you in the right direction.

Very helpful. Always available. Great advice. Really kept us on track

Great for proofreading essays, answering specific questions/planning strategy unique to our applicant, and general review of the Common App. Very helpful!

My son had an amazing experience with the College Coaches. With the ever-evolving landscape of the college search and application process, it was helpful to have such a strong resource to back us up.

Our coach, Caroline, was able to get to know my son and his goals. She tailored their meetings to his needs and gave sound advice throughout - for both my son and myself. They set a reasonable schedule with small goals so that he was never overwhelmed. From creating a list of potential schools, advising us on how to get the most out of our school visits, assistance in writing the essays and supplements, creating a resume, and all of the other little things that each school now requires beyond the common app, Caroline made sure that he had all his i's dotted and t's crossed. We were ready and confident when it was time to submit the applications. College coaches gave us peace of mind and less stress though the whole process. We will be working with Caroline again when our daughter begins her college search next spring.

Very helpful with strategies on applying to the schools at the top of our list.

My son worked with Kathleen and Greg on his application strategy and essays during his junior and senior years. They bring a wealth of experience, and made us feel much calmer and more assured about the process. Fantastic combination of strategy, support--and just being great people to work with. I would recommend The College Coaches without reservation--ten stars!

They helped me apply to all my schools. I also got help with my college essays. I am very grateful to have gotten their help.

My daughter and I loved working with Caroline and the College Coaches team. They gave great advice and offered helpful feedback on applications strategies, the Common App essay and building our college list. Highly recommend!

This is highly recommended!The advisors are highly knowledgeable about the college process, offer wonderful insights and encouragement, and work well with students. If I had to do this again I would use this company!! Outstanding!

We loved our coaches and found them invaluable for support for our son in writing his common app essay and school specific essays and in supporting him completing the common app itself. And the outcome was he was admitted to his first choice school. Thank you College Coaches.

Extremely helpful and welcoming. Great advice and support throughout the entire process.

Best people! I couldn’t have gotten into Wake Forest without the helpful guidance and care

Such a huge help, I worked with Greg and Kathleen on my college essay. I got into UMD (my dream school) with their help. Kathleen helped me shorten my very long essay to the correct amount of words perfectly, and only in one session. Could not recommend them more!

Our son had an extremely positive experience with The College Coaches. Kathleen and her team took the time to get to know him and really listen to his objectives to position him for a successful experience. From targeting the right schools, to fantastic essay support and thoughtful availability throughout the process - I highly recommend The College Coaches.

Kathleen made the college process a true pleasure for our family. She was kind, nurturing and totally on target with all of her suggestions and ideas for our daughter. We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and plan to use Kathleen again for our son. He was thrilled to get into his ED school!

Caroline played a crucial role in assisting our son with university selection. Our experience with The College Coaches has consistently been positive (third time), and Caroline's dedication in guiding our son through decision-making and deadlines is truly appreciated. Her support has been invaluable, and her expertise in working with nervous and impatient student is incredible. Highly recommend!!

It was such a delight working with Becky throughout my son’s college application experience. Becky helped create a strategy with a broad range of colleges and really connected with him. Her experience and insight were invaluable in both the essay writing and the common application itself. We are thrilled that he was admitted ED to his first choice but we will miss our check-ins with Becky!

Kathleen has been amazing in helping our daughter and now our son with their college process. They walked away from their first meeting with Kathleen excited about the college process. She is warm and engaging and makes your kid feel great about themselves. She also has amazing knowledge about so many different colleges. She takes the time to really get to know the student and what they are looking for. Highly recommend!

Starting the college application process seems so daunting but College Coaches, specifically Kathleen has made the process seem like it’s something we can do! She is personable and relatable to both myself and my son.
Thank you!
