"Working with Michele was essential! Before we started the college application process, we had no idea how to turn everything my daughters had done, in all their activities, programs, home school, and classes, into an application that admissions committees would even understand. But with her easy to follow, thorough process, we were able to put their best foot forward and help them stand out as the amazing students and people they are, with applications that really reflected their hard work and unique strengths. And they both got into very competitive schools in the midst of a tough bump in application rates!"

“Thank you for everything, Ms. Evard. I don’t know what I would’ve done without you or your patience.“

“Michele helped with every aspect from reviewing district homeschool requirements, identifying specific homeschooling resources customized to our daughter's interests, to consistent virtual check-ins and most of all being a fantastic champion and support for our entire family. If you are thinking of homeschooling, engaging with Michele is a must.”

Heather B., West Newbury

"Thank you all for the interview with the homeschooling experts. It helped to demystify a whole bunch of stereotypes and really gave me a new appreciation for the flexibility to work with your child in the interests that they have directly. The interview was super helpful, thought-provoking. The experts were amazing. I really wanted to thank you for going deep with that."

"Thank you for the wisdom you generously shared with me and my husband. It helped guide our conversations with our daughter the past several days. I told her how proud of her I was for revisiting a suggestion she previously rejected so firmly."

Parent of a homeschooling senior

"We wanted to thank you so much for all your expert help and support last school year. We couldn't have done it without you and it was so fun to check in with you so many times during the year. We decided to give [a new local charter school] a try for this Fall. … We hope you won't mind if we check in once and a while, since we may decide to homeschool again and would love to work with you again."

"Thank you so much for checking up on me. I’m doing well and happy to say that I committed to Trinity University. Thank you again for your mentorship this year. I’m so appreciative for every zoom call and essay edit :) I hope to keep you updated with all the cool things I accomplish during my time at Trinity."

"We really think the check ins and your positivity were one of the highlights of working with you! Since homeschoolers rarely get to "show their work" that was such a "best practice" of your offerings for our entire family. If you ever have anyone who wants to speak to a happy client, please send them our contact information."

"I really appreciate all of your help guiding us through this whole process, and am very glad that it resulted with being able to attend a great university at a price my family can easily afford."

"This semester I’m a writing peer tutor for the freshman first year experience course. I help students with developing and editing their essays, which feels reminiscent of our time working together!"
