Mock Interviews

A Mock Interview Session is split into two parts: a role-played interview followed by a debrief, during which the student and I discuss how to approach each of their college interviews.


Start with a free intake session.

Let’s chat! Intakes are thirty minutes; we’ll go over how I work and whether my approach is the right fit for your child.
