PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

WHETHER YOUR STUDENT IS THE TOP DOG OR THE OFTEN-OVERLOOKED UNDERDOG, DANIELLE'S PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION CENTERS AROUND ONE MAIN PRINCIPLE: THE INDIVIDUALITY OF EACH STUDENT.

Applying to college is not just about getting in, it’s about staying in. It is imperative your student be happy living and studying at their selected school for four years; otherwise, they may look to transfer after the first year or even first semester. Will they make friendships that last a lifetime? Will they be successful academically, maintain their athletic or academic scholarships, and maximize their chances of acceptance at a graduate institution?

Danielle is committed to the successful academic and social placement of each student in the educational institution that best accommodates their personality, talents, hobbies and interests, lifestyle, and geographical preferences, also taking into account potential needs for additional academic support.

She does not believe in packaging students according to a predetermined formula in order to win the favor of certain schools. She is passionate about finding the right match between student and school. When this match is made, the right schools recognize and appreciate all that a student has to offer.

If you feel overwhelmed by the college process and don't know where to begin, or simply prefer the helping hand of an experienced professional to coach you through it all, let ExpertAdmit be there for you from start to admission.

“I STRUGGLED IN HIGH SCHOOL FOR MANY DIFFERENT REASONS, BUT DANIELLE MADE AN EFFORT TO SHINE A LIGHT ON THE THINGS THAT I EXCELLED IN.”

ACADEMIC COUNSELING

Guidance Counseling is a crucial component of the college application process and begins in the freshman year. Often times people wait to start the college admissions process until well into their senior year, leaving them feeling rushed, stressed, and underprepared. As a top-rated college admissions counselor and professional academic guidance counselor, ExpertAdmit looks at the entire high school journey as part of the college admissions process, breaking it down year by year, semester by semester, step by step, leaving you feeling relaxed, excited, and fully prepared.

  • Every student can benefit from learning effective study strategies. Usually, the strategies that worked throughout middle school no longer prove effective in high school as the workload increases and becomes more difficult.

  • Academic performance is monitored throughout the school year so that improved strategies can be implemented before it’s too late.

  • ExpertAdmit is experienced in detecting learning issues and will make recommendations for a psych0-educational evaluation where appropriate. We are also skilled in the interpretation of these evaluations and will guide families through the process of requesting accommodations such as extended time for school-based testing as well as standardized testing.
