“From a parent perspective, you will not find a better person to walk alongside your child as they navigate the college admission process. I really appreciated the personalized and holistic approach that Jill took with Jordyn. I was able to sit back and enjoy my time with my daughter during her senior year instead knowing that Jill and Jordyn had everything handled!

“Jill has been an absolute blessing for our 4 children. She offers each student boutique individualized counseling. She can assist with the entire application process with college or medical school or with specific areas of need. Along the way, she provides mentoring and life skills by helping the student understand who they are and what they want to achieve. She guides students through application submission, essay critiques, and interview skills. Her advice has allowed my students to prepare for exams, obtain scholarships, and seek out opportunities for community involvement. Her way of “Thinking outside the box” has been invaluable for our children who are very happy where they are in medical school and college. Thank you, Jill!

“Jill has been great for our family. She has helped my two daughters find the schools that are right for them. You can always trust Jill to be honest with your kids about what they need to do in order to achieve their goals, and she pushes them to accomplish these. The college admissions process can get competitive, but Jill guided my daughters to the mindset of aspiring for the school that is the right fit for them, not necessarily the “best” school they could get into.”

“Jill has the skill and takes the time to understand and appreciate the individual student. She makes recommendations that fit the student’s needs and desires. She is both aspirational and practical, persistent and respectful, creative and detail-oriented. She understands and works toward all relevant deadlines. She balances the student’s need for independence with a realistic view of support that is needed to hold a high school senior accountable in the process of identifying and applying to a range of colleges. She is an excellent write and is able to assist a student in the preparation of essays that reflect the student’s best work and ideas. She is always accessible and responsive. She provides excellent value and bills her time fairly. We found her hourly rate a good alternative to the fixed fee that many of the college counselors charge. ”

“Jill Goldsmith gave me the confidence to apply to colleges with a positive outlook on myself. I was able to tell colleges about my passions and create a profile of my personality that I never would have made without Jill’s skillful aid and insight. I became more aware of my preferences for the future and am now achieving goals, which I had never dreamed of before meeting with Jill. ”

“Jill has been an amazing college coach. As the first in my family to attend college, Jill began guiding me in high school through the obstacles and checklists to successfully begin my premed career at an honors college with scholarships. I am so grateful to have found Jill.
”

“Jill’s knowledge was far more valuable than anything I could have learned from the internet, high school guidance counselors, or books from the library. Jill’s ability to personalize her sessions and help with scholarships and the college honors program made a tremendous difference in my daughter achieving her college goals. Thank you Jill!”
