College Prep

Preparing Students to Learn, Lead, and Thrive

At Collier Connects, we know that the transition from high school to college is one of the most exciting and sometimes overwhelming stages of growth. True college preparation goes beyond applications and acceptance letters; it’s about helping students understand who they are, how they learn, and how to take ownership of their next chapter. Our College Prep Services are designed to support high school juniors and seniors as they develop the skills, confidence, and clarity to succeed in college and beyond.

College Prep Coaching

Approach

At Collier Connects, we believe that preparing for college is about more than applications and essays — it’s about building the mindset, skills, and confidence to thrive in the next chapter. Our College Prep Coaching helps students strengthen their self-awareness, organization, and communication while navigating the complex and often stressful college application process.

Rooted in growth, gratitude, and connection, our work encourages students to reflect on who they are, what they value, and how they want to show up in the world. We collaborate closely with both students and parents to ensure the process supports not just admissions success, but a smooth and empowered transition to college life.

Common Areas of Focus

Developing strong college essays and personal statements
Organizing and managing application timelines and materials
Identifying colleges that align with goals, strengths, and interests
Strengthening executive functioning and time management skills
Building confidence, communication, and self-advocacy
Navigating decision-making and managing stress throughout the process

Structure & Pricing

College Prep Coaching typically begins with a 75-minute intake session ($275) for students and families to discuss goals, timelines, and areas of focus. Ongoing sessions are $3 per minute (most are 50 minutes, $150). Shorter or longer sessions can be arranged, and customized packages are available for more comprehensive support.

Sessions can be conducted virtually or in-person for local clients (in-person sessions may include a modest travel fee).

Because coaching for minors requires parent or guardian consent, families are involved in the intake process, and ongoing communication is maintained to ensure alignment and transparency.
