Coaching for College
Coaching through the Application Process
BYL's Coaching through the Application Process can begin as early as the summer before your student's junior year or as late as your student's senior spring. No matter where your student is in their college application process, BYL will assist your student in selecting their schools (safety, target and reach), writing their essays (common app and supplementals) and making their final decision.
Coaching through the Application Process will also help your student prioritize college visits (whether virtual or in person), balance their academic work and find ways to enhance their application through extracurricular activities, leadership, community service, work experience and more, all while keeping them motivated through graduation.

College Readiness
The decision has been made. Come August, as a newly minted High School graduate, you will be experiencing your first taste of true independence. You have baby stepped your way here, maybe through summers at sleep away camp, getting your drivers license, or even testing your level of maturity on a trip for senior week. But college is different: you are on your own, making decisions with a higher level of responsibility, managing money, managing relationships, juggling classes, feeding yourself and more.
In this summer series, we will spend our weeks discussing several hypotheticals each week from common fears to dealing with roommates to peer pressure; independent living, food choices, and cleaning; time management; career paths for potential majors; how to get involved on campus and off; and managing money. Let's get you ready!
Freshman Year and Beyond
BYL's Freshman Year and Beyond program provides support for your college student throughout the school year. Weekly 30 minute calls keep our BYL college students on track, discussing organizational systems, creating goals, increasing focus, achieving balance, prioritizing personal needs and more.
I am available to my students via email and text between sessions should the need arise. Students may opt to continue into the summer and throughout their college career.
Parents of New College Students
Our job as parents is to give our children roots and wings:
"Roots to know where home is, and wings to fly off and practice what has been taught them".
In our BYL Parents of New College Students sessions, we will work together to shift your perspective from protecting your teen to allowing them to become a resilient young adult. We will discuss improved communication, meaningful conversation, boundaries, risky behavior, and more.
Each session, you will bring real life scenarios to discuss, and you will leave with a plan to achieve your desired outcome.
Starting College with Straight A's
You've graduated and have committed to going away to college this fall. Now what? Starting College with Straight A's (Academics, Advocacy, Activities, Avoiding and Adulting), is a lively program that provides students with a clearer sense of how to hit the ground running before their dorm room is even decorated. Each week, Straight A students are challenged with real life scenarios so they can start with a clear head, ready to find their community and overcome challenges.
This 5-week program is available in-person or via Zoom. To begin your registration, please complete this brief form. Once payment is received, you will receive a package of materials (via USPS) to be used throughout the program and Beyond.
WHAT'S BETTER THAN STRAIGHT A'S? GETTING THEM WITH FRIENDS! ASK ABOUT OUR GROUP RATE for up to six students.

A parent's job is to encourage kids to develop a joy for life and a great urge to follow their own dreams. The best we can do is to help them develop a personal set of tools for the task.
