Testimonials

During the past year and a half, Ferah has served as a college coach for my son. She offers a comprehensive set of services that guided my son through many aspects of the college application process. What really stands out about Ferah is the rapport and trust that she built with my son that enabled her to be very effective in helping him identify possible career and major choices, college options, and a set of criteria for his decision. He is excited about the next four years, and very confident that his choice matches his interests, strengths, and type of college experience he desires.
- Debbie Bostak,, Finance Manager and Community Volunteer
Ms. Aziz is part college expert, part sociologist, and part therapist. She helped to guide my daughter through choosing, applying, and deciding on a college. She provided a thoughtful and compassionate sounding board, edited essays, and kept everyone on track. She was always available by email for questions and support. I would recommend Ms. Aziz to anyone who feels a little lost with the application process or is unsure how to navigate through this stressful endeavor.

I know Ferah Aziz both from HECA, the professional association to which we both belong, and from personal interactions. I have extensive admissions experience (having worked both as the head of several admission offices, and working now as a college admission counselor) and can attest that she is an outstanding college admissions consultant. Ferah cares deeply about the welfare of each student with whom she works. She is also exceptionally well-informed and meticulous in her work. In addition, she is a kind and sane person with whom it is a pleasure to collaborate. I am confident that she serves her student clients and their families exceptionally well!
