From parents

It is SO worth it to do it right, and to have Sean as part of the Village raising your kid.
Todd Witte · Parent of fourVerified Google review
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.
Ellona Yusim · ParentVerified Google review
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.
Paula Maris · Parent of threeVerified Google review
Sean is the best. I have two kids that have gone through his program and I wouldn't want to work with anyone else.
Shannon Corcoran · ParentVerified Google review
Sean is exceptionally knowledgeable about the college application process. I really cannot recommend PTCA enough. He is one-in-a-million!
Kristi Andrews · ParentVerified Google review
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.
Bronwyn MacGregor · ParentVerified Google review
Thanks to his expertise, our daughter not only got into her dream school but also grew immensely throughout the process.
Jennifer Pilz · ParentVerified Google review
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.
Melissa Daughters · ParentVerified Google review
His fees, in our opinion, are not high enough for the level of service he provides. He has been worth every dollar without question.

We worked together for six years. Whether I had questions about college, financial aid, or career options, he provided clear, thoughtful, and personal answers.
