Hi, I’m Betsy Kauffman—and I’m here to help your student navigate the college search and application process with confidence, clarity, and a personal touch.
​
I know firsthand how overwhelming and emotional the college admissions journey can feel—for both students and parents. The pressure to make the right decisions, meet deadlines, write perfect essays, and somehow stand out among thousands of applicants can be paralyzing.

My role is to take the guesswork out of the process and help your student move forward with clear, achievable steps. Whether it's creating a strong college list, translating high school experiences into standout essays, or building a resume that highlights natural strengths and leadership, I help students discover and confidently express who they are.

With over 15 years of homeschooling experience raising and educating my three kids, a background as a high school algebra teacher in Northern Virginia, and a decade in lending and banking, I bring a unique blend of academic, professional, and real-world experience to my advising. Today, I collaborate with trusted partners and community leaders across the country to offer top-notch college advising and tutoring services tailored to your family's needs.
​
Families have described working with me as a breath of fresh air—bringing peace, purpose, and even joy to what often feels like a stressful season. Let’s walk this journey together, one intentional step at a time.
That’s why I come alongside families not just as a college advisor, but as a guide, encourager, and steady presence.
I work to motivate and equip each student—not just to get into college, but to grow through the process and feel proud of what they’ve accomplished.
