testimonials

"Niki provided invaluable support and guidance to my son during his process of deciding upon a college. With her help, he began to examine and understand himself on a deeper level. He moved beyond a superficial analysis of the institutions based solely on rankings, status and reputation and developed an appreciation for the complete college experience. His anxiety faded as his decision-making process evolved. In the end, he felt very confident about the college he chose. He knows why it is a good match for him and how he wants to contribute. As his mother, I watched him struggle and wanted to do something to help. I’m so grateful I found Niki. She was able to step in and provide the professional and objective guidance my son needed. We will never forget her service to our family at this crucial stage in his life.”
-Susan, Mother of 12th Grader
"Before meeting with Niki Kelman, I was stuck in a very rigid way of thinking when it came to college. Instead of being focused on the holistic college experience, I found myself committed to a few aspects of particular schools and planning my subsequent steps from there. As I worked with her, I was able to be honest with myself about what I wasn’t sure about and what my true prioritizes were. My attitude towards college also shifted from thinking of it as simply transactional to seeing it as a time to be transformed, with the goal of finding a truly fulfilling career. Without a doubt, the invaluable work I did with Niki Kelman has set me up for a much more enjoyable college experience."
-12th Grader & Transfer Student
"Nicole was invaluable through my daughter's college application process. Fall of Senior year is a busy time and Nicole helped my daughter put together a schedule of application deadlines and tasks and their weekly meetings helped my daughter stay on track. Nicole is a great communicator and sent a summary email afterwards to both me and my daughter. Zoom meetings, text messages and phone calls made the process very convenient. My daughter will be attending her dream college and had several acceptances to chose from. I greatly appreciate Nicole's background and experience and we could not have done it without her!"
-Mara, Mother of 12th Grader
"So happy to have you onboard! I feel like we are definitely on the same page in terms of the best approach for our daughter. She is really enjoying working with you and it brings us a lot of comfort knowing you are guiding her through this very important time. 
Having your expertise and guidance helps in so many ways. One of the real benefits of having you on board is our daughter can gain independence and feel good about the experience. And less nagging from parents is a good thing! Thanks for helping us maintain a peaceful household while she navigates this process."
-Amy, Mother of 12th Grader
