“Thank you for all you did to help us in the whole college application and selection process. The SAT prep class and follow up was tremendously helpful and our consult with you gave us so much insight and direction. What a stressful process that can be for students and parents, and your knowledge and advice was so comforting and thought provoking. Maggie will be attending Wheaton College this fall and is truly excited about going there. I believe it’s a great fit for her in so many ways. I know you take such personal concern for all the students you help. I have recommended your program to several parents of juniors and sophomores over the last several months.”

Cathy (college planning and SAT prep course parent)

“Jean, You are a remarkable person. I am impressed with how many hundreds, perhaps thousands, of young men and women you have elevated.”

Doug (SAT prep course parent)

“I just want to thank you for your help in tutoring my daughter Paula for her SAT. Not sure if you know but her final score was 1440. I really appreciate you.”

Antonio (SAT prep course parent)

“My daughter is an 8th grader at Lakeview Academy and is preparing her schedule for 9th grade. She and I are both feeling overwhelmed because we don’t know what she needs to take to get where she wants to go . . . mostly because she doesn’t know where she wants to go in life since she’s only 13. Can you give us some advice on how to choose the right classes to be able to get into the school she wants to attend when we have absolutely no idea what school that might be? Is that an impossible question?”

Martha (college planning parent)

“My two eldest sons took your class and it made a huge difference. My next son desperately needs your help.”

Jennie (SAT prep course parent)

Sandra (SAT prep course parent)

Rosanne (college planning parent)

“Your help this year with my college applications was greatly appreciated. I would not have been able to get into many of these college, let alone my number one, without your countless hours of work toward my applications. I thank you for pointing me in the right direction.”

Angus (college planning student)

“We just looked at our June SAT scores – Alexa increased 100 points in math, 80 points in reading, and 100 points in writing. I think this qualifies us for Zell Miller! Thank you, thank you. She also felt really confident after taking the class.”

Carolyn (SAT prep course parent)

“By weaving her life experiences into the traditional fabric of professional college counseling, and by listening carefully to students’ dreams and discerning their strengths, Jean advised students with great insight and creativity. She is caring, perceptive, honest, and frank, and she works tirelessly to learn more and to advocate for her clients.”

Don (former boss)

“We just wanted to thank you for making such a difference in Will’s college search. He just was accepted to Bucknell early decision. I would never have guessed both boys would  be at the same place. Thank you for all your kindness throughout the years. . .it takes a village.”

Peggy (college planning and SAT parent)

“Jean, You are a remarkable person. You’ve made tremendous elevations for so many young women and men. God bless.”

Doug (SAT prep course parent)

“Your methods of teaching are quite impressive and put into language both parent and child can understand. I’ve already suggested your program to others, parents and teens as well. When I come across something worthy of sharing, I feel it’s my responsibility to do so. I wish we had gone with your program earlier on. Kristian was so pleased with his practice score and even said if any other real test scores still weren’t that high, at least he knew he could do it. So he’s won already. Thanks so much!!”

Debby (SAT prep course parent)

“Thank you so much for helping me on the SAT. I have learned strategies that I never knew before. Not only has your class helped on the SAT, but it has also helped me in the classroom. Now I am more confident when taking tests and I know that I will be more confident when I take the SAT. This class has helped me tremendously.”

Brittany (SAT prep course and college planning student)

“I just want to let you know that I got a 2290 (420 point improvement from the pre-test) on the SAT!! Thank you so much for helping me and getting me ready for the SAT!”

Drew (SAT prep course student)

“Thanks for all you do to help get these kids into the right colleges.”

Lyn (college planning parent)

“My son’s score went up over 250 points after your course, which opened quite a few doors.”

Jamie (SAT prep course and college planning parent)

“Hey, Mom. Did you get Dr. DuPree’s email? I am NOT going to drop Honors Bio, but I am going to replace speech with a study hall, as much as it kills me to do it. I have decided to do that, so I am not so overwhelmed. She really helped pick me up, and she said that I am way ahead of the game. She said that I needed to be looking at top colleges because I had such a well rounded curriculum. She really helped me, too.”

Mary (college planning student)

“Thank you for spending so much time and effort with us this afternoon. It was most helpful.”

Martha (college planning guardian)

“Thank you for arranging our participation in the college fair – it was great to see our students overcome nerves and impress reps from terrific schools, whether they were beginning their searches or making important face-to-face contacts as seniors. The college fair was invaluable for my daughter. As a junior she gathered lots of information from prospective schools, and as a senior she made those important personal contacts which “count” during the application process. My son will definitely participate! Thank you for taking our students to the college fair – what an amazing opportunity during each stage of the college search!”

Robyn (college planning parent)

“So enjoyed your off-to-college letter to my son and his classmates. When are you going to start a blog, website and/or write a book ?!!

Peggy (college planning and SAT parent)

“NOOO!!! We are so sad to hear that you are leaving Lakeview! To be honest, I am about to get a paper bag to breathe in; we have no idea what to do without you! We wish you the best of luck and know that you already have our family as one of your clients.”
