College-bound student with a plan in place by Grand Fit Educational Counseling

Class of 2029,
this year is where direction starts to matter.

Get a clear plan now so your student can move forward with purpose, not pressure.

Build momentum now. Avoid stress later.

Sophomore year is when things start to take shape.

Classes begin to signal direction. Activities start to deepen.

And for many families, the questions get louder:

“Are we on the right track?”
“Should we be doing more?”

There’s still time, but this is where intention makes a real difference.

 When you work with me,

I help you take what your student has already started and turn it into a clear, thoughtful plan so you’re not guessing your way through the next two years.

"Hiring you was the best money we EVER spent. He’ll graduate without student debt... this is exactly the outcome we are looking for." — Parent, Class of 2021

I went into the application process completely lost and not sure where to start and Allison was honest, not judgmental, and motivating. She knew exactly how to help me and guide me in the right direction."
