What services do we offer?
Project Management
Over the course of one to four years as students begin their preparation for college, families often employ a team of professionals to pitch in along the way - college counselors, essay coaches, standardized test tutors, academic support. Using its wide and deep network, Gen Prep recruits, assembles and project manages a team catered to each student’s personality and specific needs. One project manager helps plan , issues reminders and remains in close communication with students and their families at all times, so everyone remains in the loop and confident throughout the entire process.
Test Prep
Our standardized test tutors are not just whiz kids fresh out of college, or bored graduate students who mastered the test. They are deeply experienced and engaging educators who know how to reach students of all levels and abilities. Each has a proven track record of success and is at the top of their respective field. And, more importantly, each is also a natural teacher. We are careful to match our tutors with students based on personality as well as need. Each student has the opportunity to interview multiple tutors before they find the right fit.
We start by deciding which test is best suited for a student using a handful of diagnostic techniques, then move on to creating a unique plan for success.
Essay Help
An admission essay is unlike any other essay a student will have to write. At what other time will they try to distill the most essential elements of their life experience and personality into 650 words? This is where working with a Gen Prep counselor truly makes the difference. We work to discover the fascinating, impressive, moving or entertaining story that needs to be told in order for a student’s entire application to come to life. It requires a lot more than a few edits from the school college counselor; a good essay can change a student’s life. Our essay coaches are not just good editors. They know how to draw students out and inspire them to achieve greatness. The essay matters today more than it ever has before. Never underestimate the power of words!
College Counseling
There comes an exciting but scary time in every student’s life when they face the dueling questions: where do I want to go to college and what is possible? Navigating the ever-changing terrain of college application process is not for the faint of heart. Our college counselors have done the research and have the experience that can make this experience far less daunting. Whether your student has Ivy League aspirations, dreams of art school or has no clue where they could possibly belong and thrive, our counselors are here to help guide them every step of the way.
