Welcome
I provide White Glove Education Consulting for students and families navigating the independent school admissions process. It can seem daunting, but the truth is simple: top schools seek students who bring real curiosity, discipline, and dedication to their interests.
I help students develop the skills and attitudes that lead to success in these environments.
My services focus on five key areas:

The Foundation for Academic Excellence, Test Readiness, and Independent Thought
Forget hacks, tricks, or vague “learning strategies.” Literacy is the study strategy. Students who read, listen, write, and speak with focused attention develop not only better grades and test scores — they develop the capacity for original thought, sustained focus, and real self-possession.
This offering is not remediation. It’s not enrichment. It’s training.
Students meet one-on-one to read closely, analyze challenging ideas, expand vocabulary, and write in full sentences — not fill-in-the-blanks. Every session targets fluency, grammar control, and critical awareness of language. Whether your child is preparing for the SSAT, struggling to get traction in English class, or simply not being challenged, this is where the real work begins.
Literacy is not a side subject. It is the system through which every subject is mastered.
