College Counseling at Its Best!

Gateway Educational Consulting: the Gateway to College!

Personal and Professional Guidance for Students

Take the stress out of the college admissions process with Gateway Educational Consulting. The decisions of choosing the right college, a major, a career—all of this can be quite daunting. As a former high school counselor and teacher with 30+ years of experience, I offer personality inventories, career and major exploration, college research information, and admissions assistance to help students reach their goals. I advise the students personally and honestly to tailor an experience that best suits the student. The counseling is online, and students will receive one-on-one assistance throughout this journey.

What exactly is "Comprehensive College Counseling"? Simply put, it means I offer a wide range of services to support students (and often their families) throughout the college preparation process, including:

  • -Helping students explore potential careers and college majors

  • -Assisting with high school curriculum planning
