Introduction
Colleges grow more competitive every year. It is more complex than ever to “stand out” to colleges, and that is where I come in! As a seasoned College Admissions Advisor and Counselor, I have been helping students navigate the college application process for over two decades. I have a deep understanding of the academic and personal qualities that colleges look for in applicants. I am also certified in College Counseling by UCLA and as a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Practitioner, which enables me to provide personalized guidance and support to each student. My mission is to empower students to achieve their educational and career goals, and I take pride in seeing them succeed in their future endeavors. I am a member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association and adhere to the Principles of Good Practice. I can work with anyone in the United States via Zoom. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME IF YOU DO NOT INTEND TO MEET. I can do customized services as well. 5% off for students through Thumbtack

Tam has been an asset for my student and myself. I was dreading fall of senior year because of all the coordination that is needed between me a patent and my teenager who is being pulled in many directions. Tam stepped in and helped Lauren focus and we are almost done. Lauren was able to complete early action and has been accepted to her favorite University so far. We are waiting on other acceptance letters as well. I recommend Tam for her patience and understanding. She pushed with kindness and Lauren really appreciated it. Tam is also knowledgeable and recommends universities to match needs of the students.

She was excellent with her knowledge of requirements for the different colleges. Helpful to my granddaughter in the lengthy application process. The scheduling of meetings always worked out and progress was made everytime. Great to communicate with parents on the status. We are so glad we got the extra help for filling out applications and essays for college admissions and for scholarships. A Great value and we highly recommend her.

I am very grateful for Tam’s help with my application to Rice University. She helped me present myself as a stand out and memorable person in ways beyond the standard application.
