Life & College Coaching for Gifted Youth by Stanford MA in Psychology

As a parent, you probably think your child is one of the best students out there. And maybe they are. The problem is, it's hard to stand out to admissions officers with grades, APs and test scores alone. If you really want your child to stand out among thousands of other applicants, you need to help them blaze their own unique path. One they can follow better than anyone else.

As I wrote on the Paved With Verbs website (http://www.pavedwithverbs.com/thoughts.html),

"As a Life Coach, I will begin strategizing with your child as early as possible, so that he or she can begin developing specialized knowledge, niche expertise, and skills like design, symphony and meaning. This experience will raise an admission officer's eyebrows a lot more than a taking ton of AP classes would.

Moreover, with these skills, it won't matter where your child ends up going to college. They will have all the skills they need to be successful in the ever-changing future."

I take students as young as 7th grade, all the way up to 12th grade. (I like to say that it's never too early -- but it's also never too late).

About Eva
Eva attended Phillips Exeter Academy, an elite New England boarding school, before she began college at Stanford University. There, she completed her Bachelor's and Master's in Psychology. She also studied abroad at the University of Oxford, where she completed a tutorial on gifted education in public schools. This project left her keenly aware of the hardships that too many gifted teens experience in high school.

Since graduation, Eva has worked as a writer and content specialist. In addition to creating eBooks for companies like Intuit and Fisher Investments, she has published essays about high school and college education in Slate and The Huffington Post. Her essay about fostering creativity and curiosity in children was voted one of the best Quora posts of 2013.

Although she loves content creation, the work that Eva enjoys most has always been teaching gifted youth. It started with her dorm proctorship at Exeter in 2005, followed by a summer of fencing instruction and guitar lessons at Montecito Sequoia Lodge. She taught biology and geology at Stanford's Education Program for Gifted Youth, and took a group of ten American teenagers to Poland for a summer abroad through Experiment in International Living.
