WHAT PEOPLE

SAY

  • Working with Alycia took so much pressure off of our shoulders-- she worked with our daughter to get to know her and help prioritize what she was looking for, opening her up to options she had not previously considered. She helped her create timelines and to meet goals, create or polish up essays, and generally manage every aspect of the college admissions process. She made it easy for us (and prevented the fights that definitely would have occurred if we had tried to manage it ourselves). We went into the admissions process feeling very overwhelmed but Alycia held our hand all the way through and gave us peace of mind. And our daughter ended up with a top choice (with excellent scholarships) that she would have never found without Alycia.

  • Dear Alycia,
    I hope this email finds you well.
    I wanted to reach out and thank you for your support throughout my entire college process. I am so grateful and appreciative that I had the opportunity to work with you, as you made sure to answer any questions that I had and to review any necessary materials at any given moment. Thank you for establishing a welcoming environment ever since we started working together; I truly felt comfortable reaching out with any questions. I can’t wait for Northeastern, and I will definitely tell you all about it as time goes by.

  • We didn't really understand how the whole process worked and you really helped clarify it. We realized that some things were more important than they seem and other things were less important thanks to you. You also answered many of our questions with detail to help us understand certain things better. You are always so reachable, compared to other advisors. If we ever needed to re-do the college process, we would definitely ask for your service again! Also, you really helped my son with his essays. Since every school has different questions and are looking for different qualities and answers, you really helped us understand what each college is looking for. My son received so many acceptances because of your help!

  • We knew Sam loved math, but we had no idea where to begin to help him develop his interests and skills. Alycia, you were the golden ticket. Watching you and Sam communicate in the first session was mind-blowing because Sam was so comfortable and communicative with you. I got to see my son enjoy the process of answering questions about his future, and I could tell that he felt like you really understood him. Sam has some direction now, and I can see how this clarity will lead to increased exposure to future careers, interests and opportunities. When I asked him about his experiences while working with his consultant, he told me that he felt comfortable and excited about his future. Alycia, you are truly helping him develop a plan for high school, college, and beyond.

MY PHILOSOPHY

In my two decades of teaching kids of all ages, I have honed my skill at getting to the heart of a teenager’s personality and helping them unearth their own talents and see themselves differently—with more confidence and enthusiasm. While the college application process is daunting to many, for me it is the perfect vehicle for me to apply my best talents to help a teenager discover and thrive at his or her best talents.

TOP 5 Reasons why

AK College Consulting is Exceptional

My students learn quickly that I am amused and inspired by their energy and resiliency. I am a mother and a former middle/high school teacher. 
I prioritize finding the “right fit” school for your child. Every young adult deserves to learn in a place where they feel comfortable, socially and academically.
I will return calls and emails. You will be treated like I would hope to be treated if you were my child’s consultant.
As an expert in the field, I spend countless hours learning about colleges, universities and application strategies.
Colleges do not want to admit another clone, and that is okay because everyone is beautifully unique. As we work through our college “to-do” lists, I ask thoughtful questions that guide the applicant as they prepare their essays and applications.
