Students:
Thirty percent of college freshmen drop out after their first year, often because they feel unprepared for the "adult" responsibilities they face, coupled with the challenge of balancing these with their academic demands. This struggle highlights a significant gap between gaining college admission and being truly ready for the college experience.
The key to bridging this gap lies in understanding that college readiness goes beyond academic qualifications. It involves preparing students for the realities of independent living, time management, self-discipline, and the emotional challenges that come with being away from home. When we focus on developing these skills early on, rather than just meeting the requirements for college admissions, we can better equip students for success in their first year and beyond. It doesn't have to be this way—with the right preparation, students can thrive in their college environment.
I can help with the following:
One on one sessions begin by identifying the immediate needs of the student. Each following session will directly work towards developing skills to meet those needs. In a step by step manner, we will build upon strengths and gain confidence in your abilities.
Sessions can be live, phone call, or via Zoom with some texting options.

My son Odin has been a student under Jennifer’s care since 6th grade. In that time, she has helped him define and achieve his academic goals. She has also been a trusted pair of ears as he has travelled the bumpy road of adolescence. - Doug Clark (parent)
