Curious about what it’s like to work with Sylvia?
Students and parents will go from feeling overwhelmed and unsure to feeling confident and successful. DJ Educational Consulting targets the multiple parts of the application process to make the journey simple, structured, and fun.
“Sylvia was fantastic! She kept our daughter engaged
through meaningful conversation, kept her on track with her easy-to-follow schedule, and motivated with her ability to break down the overwhelming process into a more manageable step-by-step process. Sylvia is very knowledgeable about colleges and keeps up on current trends.”
– Pam W., Parent
“I highly recommend Sylvia for any parent navigating
the college application process. She is wonderful to
work with, responds quickly to questions, and keeps her students on track to ensure they meet all college application requirements and deadlines. The best part is that she has students work hard over the spring and summer so that by the time application deadlines arrive, the kids (and parents!) are not stressed out trying to finalize applications.”
– Seema M., Parent
