Our Guidance Your Success

Klemmer Educational Consulting, LLC provides a full range of services tailored to the needs of each student. We provide one-on-one guidance in regularly scheduled sessions, either in person or remotely, to help students stay focused from the early planning stages through to the final college decision. We also provide counseling and assistance on college affordability and integrating the various financial components of college selection: cost, family resources, and types of financial aid available.

FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES

PLANNING THE HIGH SCHOOL YEARS

Applying to college may still be two or three years away, but it is not too early to seek guidance on:

Course selection and mapping out a general curriculum plan through senior year
Developing interests through extracurricular involvement
Finding worthwhile summer programs or activities that will be both enriching and enjoyable
Outlining a standardized testing plan
Evaluating college affordability and becoming familiar with the college financial aid process

Freshman and sophomore advising is offered on an hourly fee consulting basis.

JUNIORS AND SENIORS

THE COLLEGE EXPLORATION AND APPLICATION PROCESS

We provide guidance, structure, and inspiration through each step of the college admission process. Specifically, we:

Guide students through the process of discovery to help them uncover or further develop their intellectual interests, talents, and curiosities
Review the high school transcript and recommend appropriately rigorous courses for each academic year
Advise on a standardized testing plan and test prep to help students achieve their personal best on the SATs, ACTs, and SAT Subject Tests
Explore a student’s learning style to help focus the college search on academically appropriate options
Compile a list of schools that are well-suited for each student, based on our in-depth evaluation of the academic qualifications, standardized test scores, extra-curricular activities, and expressed interests
Brainstorm essay topics with students that will convey their distinct qualities while encouraging them to develop and write in their own voice; through the essay writing process, students will learn how to show rather than tell so that college admission officers gain insight into each student’s character, values, and perspective.
Prepare students for college interviews to ensure that they are well-informed about each school and confident and sincere in how they present themselves
Assist in the development of a resume/activity list which details the range of the student’s involvement in extracurricular activities throughout the high school years
Advise on choosing teachers to write recommendations that will add a valuable dimension to the student’s application
Develop a well-structured action plan with defined goals and deadlines to help students stay organized
Guide families through the financial aid process, which includes suggesting strategies for maximizing aid while minimizing the stress of the process
Cater to the special needs of the individual student, whether that student is an athlete, artist, musician, or someone with a learning or physical disability

Packages for juniors and seniors are offered primarily on a comprehensive fee basis. Hourly packages for specific stages of the process are also available.
