    Independent Advisors

    The sheer number of available college, summer programs, or gap year options often overwhelms teens and their parents. TeenLife gets it! On this page, you’ll find listings of independent advisors ready to help you navigate each landscape.

    Independent advisors aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution. They’re specialized coaches offering personalized support based on your teen’s unique needs and goals.  

    • College admissions counselors guide your teen through the entire process, from crafting a comprehensive and compelling application to strategically selecting colleges aligned with their academic strengths and professional interests. These advisors offer expert advice on standardized testing, application essays, and financial aid strategies.
    • Independent educational consultants can help you and your teen find the best private school fit if you’re considering an alternative to public school. These advisors can also provide academic guidance, study skills development, and support in exploring extracurricular activities and leadership opportunities.
    • Gap year advisors can help your teen find a meaningful, enriching experience after high school graduation—and before they start college. These advisors offer assistance finding programs aligned with your teen’s interests, whether travel, language immersion, volunteer work, or career exploration.

    Independent advisors go beyond providing information. They offer objective guidance, personalized recommendations, and expert support to ensure your teen finds the right program, college, or resources for their journey.
