College Planning Services by Tanya

I’m an independent college advisor, offering personalized support through the Powered by Scholar Co model. I help students with course planning, testing strategies, extracurricular development, college selection, and applications—keeping them organized and confident along the way.

All sessions are online and accessible from anywhere, though I especially enjoy working with families in Idaho. My goal is to guide students toward colleges that are the right academic, social, and personal fit while reducing stress at home and helping them build skills in planning, writing, and self-advocacy.

I would be honored to support your child through this exciting next chapter.
