Testimonials

During the past year and a half, Ferah has served as a college coach for my son. She offers a comprehensive set of services that guided my son through many aspects of the college application process. What really stands out about Ferah is the rapport and trust that she built with my son that enabled her to be very effective in helping him identify possible career and major choices, college options, and a set of criteria for his decision. He is excited about the next four years, and very confident that his choice matches his interests, strengths, and type of college experience he desires.

I currently attend CSU, a great university, but my freshman year was not what I hoped it would be. My college coach helped me narrow down colleges I would rather attend based on available majors, along with tuition costs and other important factors when looking at transferring schools. Together we were able to select a handful of intriguing places: she also helped me find a new college. Additionally, my coach helped me with job search tips, and I got a job in my field. Launchphase2 has been extremely helpful!

As the parent of a high school senior that just was accepted to and received merit scholarships from all the private and public schools to which she applied, I highly recommend Ferah and her team. Ferah made a difference by explaining what my daughter needed to do each year (college tests, community service, leadership, school work, essays and applications, college emails and visits and independent study abroad), helped her prioritize her efforts and provided timely follow-up, especially critical for the college essays.  Collectively, this reduced our family's "college stress" to a manageable level and kept my daughter focused and in charge of the college process.  She even told her school counselor that she "felt good about the college application process and was pretty sure she would get into her top schools."  Ferah's deep understanding of the entire process has informed my parenting of both my children, one gifted and the other, a high achieving high school student with learning differences.
