"Marilyn Kaufman has been an invaluable resource in our college selection and application process. From our first meeting she took a sincere interest in our son and got to know him academically and personally to help him in his college selection process. Their time together was always productive with a goal for what was to be accomplished during their next meeting. Organization and prioritization are two life skills that she has imparted to our son; two skills that took a lot of the stress out of the entire college application process."
-Lori Futterman "Marilyn Kaufman's unique style and rapport with her students sets this program apart from all others. While all college preparation counselors and programs offer pertinent and valuable information, this one provides a relationship students find nurturing and supportive, with a true advocate in Mrs. Kaufman. Unparallel value; unsurpassed quality." -Sandy Holman |
