[quote=Anonymous]We worked with Clare for two students.  Both for high school.

She was instrumental in our boarding school search, which was a flat fee of a a few thousand dollars. She and our kid met, they strategized and formulated a plan. She offered up a few choices, noting which one was, in her opinion, the best fit. She could not have been more right.  Prep schools are a totally different animal. She teased out a few significant characters of our student, and talked about the nuances of each prep school choice.  Helped with introductions to admissions, and pretty much changed the course of our family life.  Could I do it on my own? Sure. But my student definitely felt more in control vs. being a byproduct of parental influence.

For my other kid, she was gracious to bow-out when my knowledge base was clearly wider, and offered to review test scores, give advice of the search, helped me weed out a few schools that "sound great, but in reality are not as promised."  She literally said, "You don't need me on this one."  So she just charged me a nominal charge for test review, application essay advice, with her consulting fee of by the hour. [/quote]
