Hear from Past Workshop Parents and Students
“This class was perfect. It provided us with so much information/advice that we would otherwise not have considered. The expert knowledge shared has given us direction and confidence that we will help our daughter find and be admitted to the right college for her.
I highly recommend this class!”
“I had my doubts when my mom signed me up, but it was SO helpful. I’m usually a procrastinator and struggle to focus. The entire college process was so overbearing that I had been avoiding it, but I think now I may be able to get my apps in early!
Michelle was so encouraging and knowledgeable and I had overall a really awesome experience.”
“The small group format and open dialogue more than met my expectations. It was so nice to have someone with the The College Spy’s level of insight to answer questions geared to our student and our search.
Thanks again! We feel much better prepared to tackle the entire college application process!”
How do group packages work?
Virtual Format
All workshops are hosted on Zoom so you can join from anywhere in the world. Workshops are held at a variety of times throughout the day or evening to fit your availability.
Small Group Size
Workshops have limited space so that students get individualized attention on their admissions process. If you have a friend you want to sign up with, let us know so we can place you together!
