Investment

Every journey begins with an Initial Assessment.

No matter which program fits — Encore Scholar, ABD Completion, or Full-Year Concierge — we begin the same way: a focused assessment that produces a written roadmap before either of us commits to anything more. The assessment fee is credited in full toward your chosen program if you upgrade within thirty days.

Initial Assessment

A clear-eyed look at your readiness, your goals, and your next ninety days.

Modern tools, patiently taught.

Sessions are on Zoom and recorded so you can revisit anything. Written summaries follow every session.
