Is your child in high school? Are you already getting anxious about helping him or her navigate the college admissions process? Lauren Starkey can help! For over a decade she has been writing and teaching about how to tackle the SATs and the application essay. She has worked one-on-one with dozens of students, including her own children, and created the popular SAT Bootcamp—Four Hours to a Higher Score!TM, which she presents at area high schools.

Lauren’s approach is unique; she empowers parents with the knowledge they need to understand the process, while encouraging them to support their children without taking over. “Let’s keep anxiety out of college admissions,” she recently told a group of parents of high school juniors. “It can be stressful enough for your student without your fears spilling over. Know that there is a school for every student, and with only very rare exceptions, there is no one perfect school. Be knowledgeable, be supportive, be organized, but most of all be confident and positive. This can be an exciting learning experience rather than nail-biting tension time.”
