- 9th-10th Grade: Monthly (or every-other-month) planning calls, plus check-ins. This stage adds low-intensity SAT/ACT prep, targeted summer opportunities, and recommender mapping by late 10th grade.
- 11th-12th Grade: Monthly baseline support, weekly near deadlines, and sprint support up to 3x/week in peak application/testing windows. Emphasis includes test-prep execution, school-list decisions, essays, scholarships, and recommendation timelines.
- College Students: Monthly planning in stable periods, plus sprint support up to 3x/week during internship recruiting, interviews, and offer windows.
- Single-call option: Fast clarity and 30-day priorities when timelines are tight.
- Short-term support: Focused help for one near-term target, usually under 4 working sessions or 2 weeks.
- 90-day track: Ongoing planning and follow-through across multiple cycles.
- We set priorities for the next 30/60/90 days.
- Students complete agreed action items between calls.
- Blockers are addressed as soon as they show up.
- All support stays fully value-for-value. Families pay after receiving value based on the value they felt they received.
- There are no fixed fees, no upfront payment, and no minimum payment.
- Short-term support usually means fewer than 4 working sessions or less than 2 weeks.
- Families can choose optional account credit, but prepayment is never required.
- Recurring multi-month support may use separate scheduling and attendance policies to protect reserved calendar time.
- Best fit: Student has clear goals, family communicates consistently, and sessions are attended on time.
- Not a fit: Repeated missed commitments, low student ownership, or no value felt from support.
