What others have said about working with Kori
“We hired Kori to help our son with the entire college process. She laid out a detailed plan of her approach which included a timeline for the different phases, starting with assessments to identify areas he may want to study and culminating with submitting his applications. She was informative about where he would likely be accepted and what schools were a reach, all based on data and not her opinion. Our son has ADD and Kori structured their sessions with this in mind and was able to keep him engaged, focused, and provided him with accountability. We would not have been able to keep him on track without Kori!”
— Jodi and Frances, parents of a student at Skyline High School
“Kori has the ability to quickly connect with others and this enables her to discover the needs and wants of each individual. She understands that each student is unique and needs to find a university that fits their academic, social and personal needs. She is organized, thorough and most importantly patient and kind.”
— Amy Merkel, Director of Transfer Center, Santa Rosa Junior College
"Kori was extremely helpful to me in all my endeavors as a student. Often encouraging me, and always efficient in clarifying and assisting my navigation of college. She has always been nothing but kind and understanding through it all."
