“If you are looking for a counselor who truly cares and delivers results, Sean is the one. Five stars without hesitation!”
From parents
“It is SO worth it to do it right, and to have Sean as part of the Village raising your kid.”
“He introduced us to colleges we had never even heard of, and we ultimately chose one that wasn't originally on our radar but turned out to be the perfect fit.”
“He helped all 3 of our kids and it made a huge difference. He truly invests in the success of your student both in education and in life outside the classroom.”
“Sean is the best. I have two kids that have gone through his program and I wouldn't want to work with anyone else.”
“Sean is exceptionally knowledgeable about the college application process. I really cannot recommend PTCA enough. He is one-in-a-million!”
“He actually suggested the college that my son will be attending, which is a perfect fit for him, and not one that we would have necessarily found on our own.”
“Thanks to his expertise, our daughter not only got into her dream school but also grew immensely throughout the process.”
“Sean really gets the kids to think about their 'why.' What stands out to me as a mom is his genuine care and investment in his clients.”
“His fees, in our opinion, are not high enough for the level of service he provides. He has been worth every dollar without question.”
“Four years later, five college acceptances later, my son is off to college. Thanks Sean, I will be forever grateful for your guidance.”
“3 years later we have an honor student accepted to numerous universities. He's going to be a freshman at Gonzaga with a Dean's scholarship!”
“Our three children all found college homes where each could be successful. He genuinely cares about getting to know students well.”
“Sean was an invaluable resource for our family. Our daughter was struggling to find direction, and he helped her narrow in on possible career interests and colleges.”
“Sean has advised all four of my kids. He doesn't just help them get into college and then move on; he continues to know them, listen to them, and help them navigate the changes that come with college.”
“Sean went above and beyond to truly get to know our son, which can be challenging with a quiet teenager, and helped him identify his interests and values to find the right college fit.”
From students
“We worked together for six years. Whether I had questions about college, financial aid, or career options, he provided clear, thoughtful, and personal answers.”
“I started working with Sean back in 8th grade. He made the very stressful process feel manageable, and I genuinely couldn't have done it without him!”
