1:1 Admissions Counseling

Personalized. Focused. Transformative.

Our 1-on-1 college admissions coaching provides students with individualized support every step of the way. From building a balanced college list to writing powerful essays and preparing for interviews, students receive expert guidance tailored to their goals, strengths, and needs.

Application Strategy & Timeline Planning

From choosing early action or regular decision to organizing key tasks and milestones, our timeline planning ensures nothing is missed. With clear guidance and structure, students stay on track, reduce last-minute stress, and submit high-quality applications on time.

Personal Statement & Essay Guidance

We provide expert support to help students craft authentic, compelling personal statements and supplemental essays. Through brainstorming, drafting, and detailed feedback, we guide students in highlighting their voice, values, and experiences in a way that resonates with admissions officers. Every essay is an opportunity — we help students make the most of it.

Financial Aid & Scholarship Planning

Our goal is to maximize financial support while minimizing stress, ensuring students can focus on their future without unnecessary financial barriers.

More than just a checklist, individualized coaching helps students:

Discover schools that are the right academic, social, and financial fit

Highlight their unique strengths through compelling application materials

Stay organized and on track throughout every phase of the process

Reduce stress and improve outcomes through expert insight and accountability

Every Student’s Path is Unique — Their College Guidance Should Be Too

The college admissions process has grown increasingly competitive, complex, and emotionally overwhelming. With countless application platforms, essay prompts, deadlines, and financial aid options, students and families often find themselves navigating a system that feels impersonal and confusing.

That’s where individualized college coaching becomes essential.

At Teach Potential, we believe that no two students are alike — and neither are their goals, strengths, or stories. Personalized coaching ensures that students receive expert support tailored to their academic profile, interests, and long-term aspirations. From building a well-balanced college list to crafting standout essays and preparing for interviews, individualized guidance brings clarity, confidence, and strategy to every step of the journey.

Elizabeth helped my daughter feel confident and in control during the entire college application process. She not only got into her top-choice school, but did so with a scholarship. We’re incredibly grateful for the support and professionalism we received.

— Marisol Ramirez, Parent of Class of 2024 Student

Before working with TeachPotential, I had no idea where to start. Elizabeth helped me organize everything, from my essay to deadlines. I got into five of the schools I applied to — including my dream school!

— Jason Lin, UC Davis Class of 2028

The personal statement was the hardest part for me, but Elizabeth helped me find my voice. She gave honest, helpful feedback that made my essay way stronger. I don’t think I would have gotten into NYU without her.

— Andrea Gomez, NYU Class of 2028
