Our Comprehensive College Coaching Services

1. Personalized College Advising

Our advisors work one-on-one with students to:

• Identify best-fit colleges based on interests, strengths, and goals

• Build intentional college lists

• Navigate admissions requirements and timelines

• Strategize application submissions for maximum impact

• Provide ongoing support through decisions and enrollment

We help students stand out authentically and confidently — not just complete forms.

2. Test Prep (SAT® / ACT® Strategy & Support)

Standardized testing is just one part of the college admissions process — and when approached strategically, it can strengthen applications and expand scholarship opportunities. At Jade College Coaching, test prep is intentionally integrated into the college planning process, not treated as a standalone service. We help students determine if, when, and how testing fits into their individual college goals.

Our test prep coaching helps students:

• Decide between SAT®, ACT®, both, or test-optional pathways

• Create a smart testing timeline aligned with admissions deadlines

• Set realistic, goal-based score targets tied to college lists

• Understand how test scores affect admissions and merit aid

• Reduce anxiety with clear expectations and structured planning

Test prep support may include:

• Access to structured SAT®/ACT® prep resources

• Practice tests with score breakdowns and analysis

• Personalized study plans based on strengths and improvement areas

• Coaching on score submission decisions by college

When test prep is paired with college coaching, students stay focused, motivated, and confident — using testing as a tool, not a source of stress.

4. Major & Career Exploration

Choosing a major is not just an academic decision - instead we believe that it is a personal one. We help students gain clarity about who they are, how they are wired, and what environments will allow them to thrive.

Through guided coaching and a series of evidence-based assessments, students develop meaningful self-awareness around their natural strengths, abilities, interests, and aptitudes. This insight becomes the foundation for confident major selection and long-term career direction.

Our major and career exploration process helps students:

• Understand their natural talents and motivators

• Identify strengths that translate into academic and career success

• Explore majors aligned with abilities, values, and interests

• Connect majors to potential career paths and industries

• Make informed academic decisions with greater confidence

Assessment-driven insights may include:

• Strengths and aptitude identification

• Interest and motivation alignment

• Learning and work style preferences

• Career pathway exploration tied to real-world outcomes

Rather than guessing or choosing based on pressure or trends, students learn how to make decisions rooted in self-knowledge and purpose.

This clarity not only reduces stress it also strengthens college lists, informs application narratives, and helps students choose programs where they are more likely to persist and succeed.

Major and career exploration is an essential part of building a college plan that supports both short-term success and long-term fulfillment.

5. Essay & Application Support

We guide students through:

• Brainstorming and planning meaningful essays

• Structuring and revising compelling personal statements

This support helps students express their story with voice and purpose.
