Professional, Experienced, Helpful, Academic College Career Coaching

Susan W.

Hello,
I look forward to using my skills and experience to work with students of all levels! I bring to the table many years of academic college and career planning in public school, private school and international school and at the university level ( as an Academic Advisor at Northeastern University) I am inspired to help students become curious self directed learners and career developers. My focus is collaboration with students and families from 8th grade through college and beyond to help students find inspiration and build the skills to succeed.
I have worked with students who choose to go on to highly competitive and or noncompetitive colleges, gap years or focused vocational training. We can explore options for traditional and non- traditional students. We collaborate with students seeking rigorous curriculum options to less competitive explorring to home schoolers, global nomads, vocational technical students and those seeking work study , pre professional programs and more.
I have a Masters Degree in Education and over 20 years of experience in a variety of educational settings Each student brings a unique set of circumstances, questions, and opportunities. We can collaboratively explore and develop a plan that meets your needs, and is engaging inspiring and flexible.
