You have made an incredibly stressful process a much easier one, and I can’t thank you enough.”

23 Years of Experience
in a Changing World …
“My daughter has lots of different ideas and wasn’t committed to getting great grades when we first met Wendy. Wendy gently got her to talk about what SHE loved and didn’t love, what was important to HER about the rest of her life, and, most importantly, what kind of environment was helpful for her to learn in. (This turned out to be important for me, as I kept locking horns with my daughter about what kind of college she should aim for.) Wendy delights in what makes each student unique and her enthusiasm really helped my daughter open up and take charge of the process. … After she met with Wendy, she worked her tail off in her junior year and got straight A’s for the year. Then she said, ‘Mom, I can’t figure out why it didn’t mean anything to me when YOU said A’s were important and yet when Wendy said they were important, I did it.’’’
