Exceptional, Ethical Consulting for Superior Results

A note from Linzy:

I am thrilled that you are considering working with me to help your student mature, grow, and apply to the college that will launch them into a bright future. Mentoring students and coaching them to success is my profession. Many consultants are parents who simply helped their own child apply to college, grad students with a side hustle or MBA’s capitalizing on a new market. 

I am different; I am a professor trained in the science of teaching and learning and have spent my entire career in higher education. I evaluate faculty research, curriculum and academic programs for a living; I coach student writing and academic development every day. I don't just help with applications; I develop students’ time management, executive functioning, concise writing and public speaking skills to unlock and express their unique potential to thrive in college and beyond.

As a faculty member, author, and advisor, I uphold the highest professional and ethical standards in education consulting. I visit over 30 campuses a year, am a member of national educational consulting professional organizations and engage in annual professional development to provide cutting-edge, data-driven expertise. My students and their families experience a stress-free process, craft exceptional applications, save money and make smarter college choices.
