Student Experiences
Hannah M.
Caltech '28
Physics
"Mr. Horsley's unique perspective on career paths, curiosity, and diverse interests helped me explore my passions in science, classical performance, graphic design, and more. His connections gave me hands-on experience in a physics lab and kicked off my nationally recognized science fair project. I wish I had more space to talk about all the ways he helped.”

Strategic College Application Crafting
Applying to college is not a time to learn from your mistakes. Our strategy is centered around an inventory of what colleges look for in their students.
We identify opportunities to extend on your defining achievements, leverage your letters of recommendation with targeted requests, and craft an essay that lets you tell your most compelling story.​

Coaching For What Matters Most
The final years of high school are more crucial and competitive than ever. If you want to succeed, you need the best coach in your corner: someone with extensive knowledge of academic pathways, a wealth of cutting-edge career insight, a deep understanding of college admissions, and a proven track record in student mentoring.

Behind every great athlete is a great coach, every great apprentice a master.
FAQ
How young is too young to start?
Our program is designed for 10th-12th grade students, but we work with students as early as 8th grade. We encourage younger students just to to play, learn, and have as many meaningful experiences as they can.
What does a service like this cost?
Similar services start at $250 per meeting but we are currently offering the first two meetings for free. Call us today to find the right solution for your needs.
What is the timeline for this program?
Expect a 45 minute meeting every 1-2 weeks at the start, plus some homework. Once the foundational work is finished, ongoing coaching and support drops to monthly meetings plus email support for 6 months after your last meeting.
What are my physical takeaways?
Every student receives a private Google Drive folder containing their program documents, including worksheets, meeting logs, resources, and more. Each meeting log will include minutes, action items, and goals for our next meeting.
