What actually happens

Twenty minutes, three things

No presentation, no pressure. It’s a conversation about your child, and you’ll get something useful out of it either way.

Minutes 1–5

We listen

Where your child is now, what they’re drawn to, what’s already been tried, and what’s keeping you up at night.

Minutes 5–15

We tell you what we see

An honest read on where your child stands for their grade, what’s on track, and what needs attention first.

Minutes 15–20

You decide what’s next

We explain how we’d help and what it costs, in plain numbers. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so.

Worth your time either way

What you’ll leave the call with

Plenty of families take the call, use the advice and never come back. That’s fine – a first conversation shouldn’t cost anything.

Common questions

About the free call

Is it really free?

Yes. No card, no trial period, and no obligation to continue. We’d rather spend twenty minutes finding out whether we can genuinely help than sell you something that doesn’t fit.

A counselor, not a salesperson. They’ll give you a real assessment on the call rather than passing you to someone else afterwards.

They’re welcome to, and it often helps – but it’s not required. Plenty of parents take the first call alone and bring their child into the next one.

No. No transcripts, test scores or forms. If you happen to know your child’s current grades and any test dates, that’s useful, but we can work without them.

That’s the best time to talk. Early conversations are usually short and mostly about course choices and interests – there’s far more room to make good decisions.

Still worth the call. We’ll focus on what’s most urgent – deadlines, essays and aid forms – rather than pretending there’s time for a full plan.

We’ll email you within one business day with times that suit. If you’d rather skip the wait, pick a slot on the calendar link under the form.
