"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.“

8th Grade Student

“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."

“The coaching that Michele gave helped validate our unique homeschooling journey. It also made me wish that we had come to Michele sooner in our homeschooling careers! She put us at ease about the things that we were and weren’t doing. She showed areas that were overdone and clear gaps. She gave suggestions for classes and extracurricular activities to fill in and reinforce both her transcript and resume.”

D Shea, Massachusetts

"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."

Kristen P.

"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."

Heather B., West Newbury

“However wonderful Michele's validation was, the ultimate validation came when the college offers started pouring in. She never led us to believe that what my daughter wanted was impossible (which is what other consultants, I’m guessing inexperienced with homeschooling told me).”

D Shea, Massachusetts

"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."

Homeschooled senior, mid-April

“Michele's ability to connect with kids earns instant trust. She listens to the kids but also understands the parents' perspective. I found her to be a great "go-between" on all things college application related and even in guiding my senior on course selection.”

"Thank you for taking the extra time with me yesterday. We have a lot of ground to cover and I appreciate your time, patience and assistance."

Michigan parent of a rising senior

“I adore having you as a remarkable resource and very much intend to stay in close contact.”

Clare Anderson, IEC for K-12 school placements

"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!"

Kristen P.

“When we hired Michele last year for college applications, I was thinking we were just coming to her for procedural things like transcript format and how/where to apply etc. My daughter already knew the colleges she was applying to, she knew her major and she knows precisely what she wants to do upon graduation. We definitely got that and so much more. The entire process was invaluable, particularly the process of writing essays. Essay writing helped my daughter cement and rediscover how truly amazing she is.”

D Shea, Massachusetts

“Homeschooling a kid is hard enough, as so many of us know. We absolutely could not have gotten through the college application process without Michele. Her expertise in compiling the transcript and skill in guiding us through the whole process was astounding and worth every penny. She dug into the various transcripts and comments we had from years of class and helped us make sense of all of it, and working with her early meant we were able to choose the right classes to fill in gaps. Not only that, but her calm, can-do demeanor put everyone at ease. We are so grateful to have found her.”

Caren O, California

“Michele had been invaluable in demystifying the homeschool college application process. She offered clear and helpful suggestions on how to best present my homeschool student, making the entire experience far less overwhelming. Her guidance on how to effectively showcase my homeschool and my child's strengths has made the process easy and enjoyable.”
