Behind the Scenes  "Mini Video"

Dear parent,

I hope you found this video helpful and possibly provocative. 

Our college advising programs require a significant investment, but you can see the return that investment our clients have achieved in this video, below on this page and our Google reviews.

The investment for college advising ranges from $6,500-$35,000, depending on what grade your child begins, whether you're a Private Client of Andy or working with one of our college advisors under Andy's supervision. 

Fees for financial aid advising and SAT/ACT tutoring are lower.

All to be explained when we meet, if appropriate.

If you haven't already done so, you're welcome to book a time to meet and chat about whether we could be a good fit for you/your family.

Looking forward to speaking.

They transform a daunting process into a manageable one

Andy and Pearl are an exceptional team, guiding families through the entire college application process. Their dedication, expertise, and genuine care for both students and parents have significantly impacted our college application journey for both of our children (Jack and Kaitlyn).

From the outset, Andy and his outstanding team took the time to understand our goals for each child. They provided personalized guidance and support, making the complex college application process manageable.

Their extensive knowledge of various colleges and programs is invaluable, and their relatable approach stems from their own experiences. They transform a daunting process into a manageable one, allowing families to maintain a calm and healthy relationship with their children.

Andy and Pearl's realistic and informative approach, combined with their comforting sense of humor, ensures support from test preparation, financial aid through securing college admission.

We are incredibly grateful for their support and highly recommend them to any student seeking dedicated and knowledgeable college advisors.

Both of my children got into their first choice school

Andy was extremely helpful during the college selection and application process. I signed up for the soup to nuts, entire package so he and Pearl were my go-to for everything college planning related.

They even filled out the CSS and FAFSA for me. My child worked mostly with Andy and then with his team for the essays.

ALL I NEED TO SAY IS.... WE ARE 2/2!! Both of my children got into their first choice school. I fully believe my son got into his dream Top 20 based on Andy's advice.

Thank you so much Andy and team!

Sounds great....but come on really?

We cannot say enough about how great an experience we had with Andy & Pearl and how lucky we were to find them.

We have two seventeen year old boys who will be attending college in the fall. To be perfectly honest, we were quite skeptical about a lot of the things Andy presented in the beginning as far as what his company would be able to do. We figured we might have a couple of the things he mentioned in his presentation happen, but not all of them.

Their service is not cheap, but he indicates the money that is saved in the first year tuition on one kid will cover what he costs. Sounds great....but come on really?

Well it turns out he was wrong, we saved enough on tuition through merit aid in one year on one kid to pay his fee two and a half times over for both boys.

We are sending our boys to two excellent small liberal arts colleges, Loyola and Holy Cross, at discounts of $38,500 and $29,000 from sticker price per year.

You can do the math, that's a savings of $270,000 over their four years of college.

I know without Andy's guidance there is no way we would have found the right schools for our boys much less get any kind of discounts like these.

We went from being complete novices about finding Colleges to being experts with Andy's guidance. I have to say the things that Andy educates you on and the information he provides you will not find anyplace else.

We can honestly say that at this point we know about ten times more than the boys' school guidance counselor about this process. Sad, but true.

Their process addressed every aspect of the college process including the boys taking tests to evaluate their personality to find their best fits as far as majors/careers to their own exclusively designed computer software that realistically predicts ability to get in to schools.

We really could go on all day about how great our Lockwood College Prep experience was. If you are very serious about this process, willing to put the time and effort as a family required, able to have an open mind, and listen to the guidance given, we know you will not be disappointed with their service.

Andy doesn't sugar coat things and you need to leave your ego at the door, but you will come away from this process with the best college for your student at a fair price. You additionally will come away knowing more than 99% of the parents going through this process.

We are actually surprised on a daily basis in speaking to other parents, the lack of knowledge there is and how they came to their decisions. You will come to find in the end that this whole process is a game and if you choose to use their service, you will put yourself in a winning position.
