Carolyn Tate was an invaluable resource during the college application process for both of my children. She took the time to get to know my children and provided school recommendations that ‘fit’. I found her to set realistic expectations for my children as she has a long history of knowing what certain colleges are looking for and how that matched up with what my children had to offer. She was very timely and responsive when it came to writing the college essay and set deadlines for them, so they were never behind in getting applications done. Carolyn was able to direct my children to use their experiences and successes in a way that made them stand out among the other applicants. Both my children ended up at competitive schools that were the perfect fit.

When my sons decided to apply for American colleges, it became apparent that we did not know enough about the system to do it alone, so we turned to Carolyn for advice and guidance. She provided structured supported and a wealth of knowledge that helped them to secure positions at their first- choice colleges. .

Carolyn supported our son, Theo, through the whole process of applying to universities in the US. From the initial conversation explaining the system, she was with us every step of the way, taking the time to get to know Theo well and tailoring her approach and recommendations around him personally, as well as advising us as parents and liaising with his school. Not only is Carolyn the ultimate professional with a wealth of knowledge about the vast array of universities and their different application processes, but she is a hugely likeable and talented person and her suggestions were always delivered in a positive and thoughtful manner. We wholeheartedly recommend her and feel very lucky to have worked with her.
