Avoid the Educational Emergency Room

The 2009-2010 Admissions Cycle is Here

You can avoid a trip to the Educational Emergency Room this coming fall.

We get the calls. An otherwise capable student is writing an unremarkable

essay, or worse. The essay deadlines are overwhelming the entire family.

These are some of the educational emergencies. The testimonials on our

website speak to the success of our students once we intervene. Testimonials

Learning Associates is establishing groups of 4-6 students for college essay

coaching. One-to-one coaching is also available. Of course, we provide

individualized College Counseling to guide students and families through the

entire daunting process.

Two classes are starting soon! One starts Tuesday, June 23rd and the other

starts Tuesday, June 30th. The first session in each series begins with a

presentation open to both parents and students.

Just drop Larry or Holly a note and they will be happy to provide detailed

information on the options available. Larry's email; Holly's email
