NAVIGATING THE CHANGING COLLEGE ADMISSIONS LANDSCAPE

We're here to help you make informed choices. Whether it's how to prioritize Early Decision and Early Action, when to apply Test Optional, or understanding how the growth of the applicant pool affects you, we stay ahead of the trends in admissions.

PERSONALIZED SERVICE with PROVEN RESULTS

Stephanie works with families across the country and internationally, providing educational consulting, diagnostic assessment of learning and support, test preparation, as well as college placement and advising. Her practice offers discrete, customized college selection by identifying talent in each student, creating a compelling application profile through essays, and carefully targeting colleges or universities to maximize potential and overall success.

CURATED COLLEGE SELECTION
It starts with a personal interview to begin building a student profile, taking into account academic achievement, extracurricular activities, interests, preferences and aspirations. We help students find the best schools and programs to fit them, large or small, in the U.S. and abroad.
APPLICATION & ESSAY PREPARATION
Although we adhere to exacting standards and proven best practices, there is no mold or cookie-cutter method for preparing a college application. We're interested in showcasing character as much as competency. The goal is to allow colleges to see and value who you really are. The process of writing and honing personal essays—expressing what makes you unique, and describing past accomplishments and future goals can, in fact, be a revelatory, self-actualizing experience.
EDUCATION ADVISING & CONSULTING
We assist with standardized test preparation including SSAT, SAT, and ACT. We address students' academic needs through study skills and organizational tutoring, crafting an academic program tailored to each student's learning profile.

Stephanie Lambert has addressed the educational and learning needs of children and adolescents for over 30 years. She formerly worked as an educational psychologist at Germantown Academy, a private independent school in suburban Philadelphia. Later, she established a private practice devoted to supporting and advocating for students applying to college and post-graduate programs.

 

Born and raised in New York City, Stephanie was educated at Riverdale Country School, Vassar College, where she studied Psychology and Art History, and the University of Pennsylvania, where she completed doctoral course-work in Educational Psychology. In addition, Stephanie studied education and the British primary school system at Oxford University.

 

A former resident of Princeton, New Jersey, Stephanie and her husband currently reside in the Philadelphia area. She has two grown sons.

TESTIMONIALS

Hello Stephanie,

I want to thank you for everything you have done for me over the past two years. Working with you made the terrifying college process feel much more manageable, and I couldn’t have done it without your help.

 

Your enthusiastic confidence and guidance through those challenging times helped me develop essays that I felt proud of. I cannot wait to wander the halls of your alma mater.
