Testimonials

The test prep I received from my coach was amazing! With the help of the test prep I was to practice the ACT and become comfortable with taking it, and I was able to reach my full potential. My score went from a 27 to a 31! The test prep also allowed me to hone my test taking skills so that I can utilize them on other standardized tests in my future.

“I am so appreciative of Ferah’s help with our daughter’s graduate school essay. Her insightful suggestions helped to produce a very polished, concise finished product. I highly recommend Ferah to anyone applying to college or grad school.  She is just fantastic!”
Our daughter applied to selective liberal arts colleges.  I have to admit that I was initial skeptical about using launchphase2, since I am a college professor, I went to Williams and taught at Amherst and Willamette, and I know a lot about these colleges.  Our daughter was finding our attempts to get involved stressful, as were we.  We were going in circles, and that's why we got Ferah into the loop.    We got a lot more from her services than we had realized that we might.  Yes, our daughter got into some great schools, including the school of her choice, and we were all extremely happy (and relieved) about how her applications came out.  However, she also got a real education about how to be systematic and thorough in making life decisions, lining up opportunities, and being thorough in researching and thinking through the choices that present themselves.    We have been amazed at the mature, thorough, and energetic way she has approached important decisions that she has had to make since then.  These were among the traits we hoped she would get from a college education, and she got a head start with Ferah.  She grew up so fast, she is off at college making her own choices now, and we are really happy that we made launchphase2 available to her before she left home.  – Dr. Ross McConnell
