Educational Coaching

Clarity for College is a boutique coaching practice for students and families navigating the high school journey and college admissions process with purpose. We believe that adolescence, and the college process itself, should be an opportunity for deep reflection, not just high performance. We believe that clarity about identity, motivation, and values is more powerful than any checklist. And we believe that when students are guided by purpose, they make better decisions, write stronger essays, and grow into more fulfilled adults.

What We Offer

Is this for you?

Clarity for College is designed for students and families across the learning spectrum, from high school to graduate school, who are looking for more than just college admissions strategy—they're looking for thoughtful, values-aligned guidance through one of life’s most important transitions. You or your student might be a great fit if:

​

  • You’re curious, open-minded, and willing to reflect, not just perform

  • You value long-term growth over short-term perfection

  • You want to understand why college matters, not just where to go

  • You’re ready to explore purpose, identity, and direction, not just build a résumé

  • You’re seeking a collaborative process, not a prescriptive checklist

  • You want coaching that develops real clarity, not just better applications

 

This work is not for families seeking last-minute, high-pressure admissions results, or for students looking to outsource their own effort to someone with more experience. It’s for those who want to grow, learn, and navigate this chapter with greater insight,
confidence, and intention.

Through the college application process, Sarah's guidance and encouraging advice helped me find clarity in my voice. Her support was focused on helping me better understand my identity and my values.
