Guiding Your Next Step!
I offer a complimentary 15 minute consultation to go over my services and timeline with the student and their family to see if I am a good fit for their needs.
My services include evaluating the student's academic record, course selection, creating a resume, building a college list, help with the college essay and advising the student throughout the college application process.
The fee for my service is charged on an hourly basis of $175/hour. I can start working with a student at any time during their high school career, beginning as early as their freshman year.
Please contact me if you cannot find an answer to your question.
An educational consultant assists students and their parents in planning for college. Starting as early as freshman year, I can help students with exploring their interests, evaluating their learning style and selecting appropriate courses and activities.
While I can step in to help a family at any point in their planning journey, the best time to contact me is in your student's freshman year.
No one can ethically offer this guarantee. I will work with your child to shape their activities and application to give them their best chance of attending a school of their choice. The list of choice schools I help them to develop will be based on the right fit for their needs and interests.
Throughout my work with your child, my goal is to get to know them well enough to understand their best learning environment. I will learn what makes them thrive and get excited for this next chapter in their life. In getting to know these key factors, I will provide a list of best fit colleges that will match their academic and social interests and needs.

"Trish was an absolute lifeline during my son's college application process. Her guidance was invaluable, and I can't recommend her highly enough. She was extremely patient and organized (which was very helpful as I am neither). Trish kept the entire process on track with meticulous attention to detail. What truly set her apart was her commitment to clear communication. Following each session, Trish provided my son with a comprehensive summary of their meeting, along with a detailed calendar of tasks. This level of organization not only kept my son focused but also significantly reduced the stress and potential for conflict at home. It was wonderful not to have to argue about the college application process and to have my son accountable to somebody other than me. Thanks to Trish, everything was smooth and manageable. We are incredibly grateful for her support!"
"Working with Trish Howells was an absolute game-changer for our family. Navigating the college application process for one child is overwhelming but doing it for twins felt even more daunting. Trish provided expert guidance every step of the way—from crafting compelling essays to preparing for interviews and making strategic decisions about applications. Their personalized approach, patience, and deep knowledge of the admissions landscape made the process so much smoother. Thanks to their support, both of my children found schools that are the perfect fit for them, which also led to incredibly generous merit scholarships, making their education even more accessible. I highly recommend Trish to any family looking for expert admissions guidance!"
