  • College Financial Planning

    When you work with me, I’ll connect you directly with Andy Leardini, founder of College Financing Group, a one-stop resource for everything financial aid-related.

    Andy works closely with families to complete the FAFSA and CSS forms, as well as file financial aid appeal letters on your behalf. Andy can also help you determine if you will qualify for need-based financial aid, answer all of your questions about 529s, and help you understand the shifting landscape of college financial aid. Andy and I work together to make sure a student’s college list reflects the right range of schools based on a family’s desired price point.

  • SAT/ACT Preparation

    A core part of my service is helping students decide when to take the SAT or ACT, where to send scores, and how to send those scores. But first, you need to prepare for the exams!

    When you work with me, you’ll be directly connected to Melissa Cook, founder of Test Preps, a Buffalo-based test preparation service that offers a wide range of programs, from small-groups to bootcamps and from school-based classes to private, one-on-one tutoring built around a student’s schedule. Melissa and her amazing team share my philosophy of offering caring, warm, non-intimidating support that gets real results.
