I started meeting Sarah during my sophomore year. I was in a “sophomore slump”; my organization was way off and my grades weren’t as good as usual. However, Sarah came to the rescue, and made a massive impact on helping me become a more organized and motivated student. I also attended Sarah’s SAT prep class, which was very well organized and monumental to my success on the test. This year, we worked on my college applications. Sarah was extremely helpful in answering all my questions about the process, giving me tips for my college essay and supplements, and organizing my resume. I have no idea where I’d be had I not met with Sarah. Thanks for everything!
My son worked with Sarah on many aspects of SAT prep, SAT test taking and the smallest details of the college search and application process. Every college prep consultant promises that and most deliver that to the student. What makes Sarah special is that she cares about what was important to my son. Sarah listened and asked questions that made him dig deeper into himself to write a meaningful essay. The essay exposed characteristics of what makes my son such a great kid to the college admissions staff.The college search and application process can be stressful and can overwhelm the student and parent’s relationship. It can be the focus of every conversation. Having Sarah push deadlines and organization will help take that pressure off. The process was fun and exciting for us. I highly recommend Sarah and look forward to her helping my daughter next year.
Currently, I’m a senior at Portsmouth High School and I’m still patiently waiting to hear back from all of my colleges! The first time I worked with Sarah, I was a Junior and she helped me prepare for the SATs. I wasn’t confident with my score and she helped me raise it even after only a few meetings! After working with her for the tests, she helped me tremendously with the college process. She helped me choose colleges that were perfect for me, set up the Common Application and eventually apply! As the oldest, and the first one going through the college process in the digital age, I was nervous about how I was going to get through it. While my parents may not have been familiar with the online common application site, Sarah still involved my parents every step of the way. She was able to communicate all the details of my top schools, scholarships, etc. in the best way to me and my family to set us on the path to success. She helped me write my resume, all of the college supplemental essays, my personal essay, and even my senior project. Even after I’ve applied to college, Sarah is someone that I can turn to for advice! I recommend her to anyone starting this process. I couldn’t have done this without her, and her influence deserves more than 5 stars!
Sarah and her team are amazing! They gave our daughter all the tools to be successful when taking the SAT, and she scored amazingly on the test. Sarah also did an amazing job at helping prep for college applications. I recommend Sarah and Co. without hesitation!
Sarah was extremely helpful in getting me ready for the SAT. She takes a holistic approach and evaluates exactly what you need, so you are very efficient with your time. She was very knowledgeable about the college process. She was very patient and was almost more coach than tutor, which I really appreciated as a high school athlete. She helped me to see the areas I needed to work on, and encouraged me to develop the skills that would help me maximize my score. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is getting ready for college.
Sarah was instrumental in our daughters college admissions success. She was able to assist our daughter with her Common App, Customized Essays, SAT Prep and her Resume. Sarah took the confusion out of the entire process and put us all at ease, especially our daughter, who not only ended up being accepted to her college of choice but also received a much higher Annual Grant then expected. As parents, we were so pleased with Sarahs patience, guidance and professionalism with our oldest daughter we now have our other daughter working with Sarah. Thank you, Sarah!
Having my daughter work with Sarah was the best decision I ever made.As a result of working with Sarah my daughter got into every college she applied too. She motivated my daughter and also prepared her for the application process. I could not be more grateful for her support and I would highly recommend her to anyone with a student preparing for college.
Sarah is wonderfully patient and helpful for our son. His grades greatly improved in the first quarter he went to Sarah for help. He looks forward to seeing her every week!
Sarah began working with my son when he decided he wanted to attend boarding school. She helped prepare him for the SSAT entrance exam which resulted into admission to his first choice school. Now they are working on getting through some daunting summer reading/writing assignments before his the big transition. Sarah is flexible and very positive.My son looks forward to seeing her and it is a big relief for me knowing that he is well prepared.
Sarah was a wealth of knowledge and the calm that our daughter needed when going through the college search and application process. Trying to navigate the process and find a school that checked off all of the boxes academically as well as a good fit for her to play soccer was a bit of a challenge; however, Sarah really helped us find that perfect fit. Our daughters SAT scores went up after the boot camp. Sarah has a great connection with teenagers and our daughter truly enjoyed her time working with Sarah (this included writing the essay which was a huge stress before our daughter started working with Sarah). We were so pleased with her acceptance to Connecticut College. We have a rising junior and we look forward to a second opportunity to work with Sarah. Thank you, Sarah!
Sarah & Co gave our daughter the confidence to succeed in what can be a very overwhelming process of college preparation. She was there for her every step of the way from SAT prep,essays,interviews and ultimately college choices. She will carry these skills from Sarah for a lifetime.As a parent it was invaluable to have Sarahs experience & expertise in the college selection process.We were so proud of our daughter as the college acceptance letters arrived. Sarah helped her to find right fit schools and many great choices.We cannot say enough about Sarah and could not have done it without her!
Sarah is a lifesaver! She helped my son prepare for his SATs and with his college applications and essays. He got into his “reach” school! She is now helping my daughter as she begins her junior year and prepares to take her SATs for the first time. Highly recommend.
Sarah has done so much for my boys that its hard to put into words. From SAT/ACT prep to college admissions wizard. Without her services and her friendship I dont believe for a minute that my kids would be where they are today. She helped in all aspects of assisting us narrow down the often daunting task of choosing the schools that fit their goals and academic capabilities. Both of my kids needed completely different approaches in selecting their desired college experience. One going to school to study business while one was looking to play football at the collegiate level while focusing on economics. She approached both situations very differently but with equal enthusiasm and knowledge. My oldest son got into his reach school and the other chose a post graduate year before committing to a NESCAC school to play football. Her influence, hands on approach, and knowledge of the process pointed both boys in the direction they are now going. We will certainly be using her again once our youngest son is ready to for SAT prep and college selections!!!
Sarah is absolutely amazing at what she does. Not only did she make my college application process less stressful but she guided me through everything so patiently. I couldnt have done this process without her, highly recommend!!
I am grateful to have an opportunity to explain how much Sarah helped my daughter Grace, and by extension her Dad and I.Grace is our first kid going to college and we met with Sarah together (all 3 of us) to talk about how it all works.Thats kind of where the magic started. From SAT prep, school selection, application schedules, decisions about ED, EA and RD, all the way to essay editing, Sarah was there to help and guide.The thing I am most grateful for, compared to some friends who did this alone, is the way Grace managed to do this herself with Sarah. It really allowed us to enjoy the process (ok...enjoy may be an overstatement..lol) What I am trying to say, is the strain of deadlines, essay ideas, editing and planning were all off our plate. Sarah did an amazing job through the process and after.Heres how our story ended: Grace was accepted to some great schools. I am not interested in bragging, but I bet you want to know where? Boston College, Northeastern, UMass Amherst Honors college, UNH and her eventual love choice: Fordham University in NYC!Choosing is hard. Sarah was kind enough to navigate the cost benefit and remind me of the priorities we set as a family at that first meeting. She was kind, smart, sensible and always willing to talk.We are SO glad we made the decision to use Sarah and Co to guide Grace and support her college application process. I highly recommend!
Sarah is doing amazing things with kids from all over Newport County. She engages and motivates every student she works with to reach their potential.
