"Kannon did really well on his SHSAT test - well enough to secure a spot at his second choice of specialized high schools - one of the top in the country! Ultimately, he also received an offer to Bard High School Early College Queens, which was his overall #1 choice - and also an outstanding school! Thank you so much for your help. It was instrumental to his success!"
Testimonials
Sebastian Vlasic

Joshua Aguilar
"The best tutor!"
Ed Cartwright
I was super nervous about my military transition, and working with Emma definitely made it easier. Without her insight, coaching, and guidance, I don't think I would have understood myself or certain parts of the military-civilian transition process the way I do now. I thank her so much and will continue to work with her through my transition."

Military Transition
I get it! I'm a Combat Veteran
Understand the challenges behind military-to-civilian transition from a coach who also went through the process. Know where you stand, prepare for the future, and fully embrace your possibilities as a private citizen.
Over 200,000 men and women leave U.S. military service and return to life as civilians yearly. Yet, one-third of the veterans indicated they struggled with returning to ordinary life. Military-to-civilian transition is a complicated and challenging process, yet it can significantly impact veterans' quality of life after they exit the force.
