MEETING YOUR NEEDS AT THE RIGHT TIME

Parenting day in and day out is…real. There were so many times during my own parenting journey when I felt alone and unsure in making decisions about my child’s education. I wished for someone to guide me who was experienced, knowledgeable, and who truly knew and cared about my child and our family. I was looking for someone who could make recommendations that would make a real difference in the quality of my child’s life experience. I’ve been supporting families in this way ever since.

A TRUSTED RESOURCE WHEN NOTHING MAKES SENSE

With over twenty-five years of experience working in Bay Area independent schools, I’ve helped thousands of families access educational resources - school options, social and emotional support, specialized resources, and meaningful enrichment - that have changed the trajectories of their children's lives.

HONEST AND CARING EDUCATIONAL GUIDANCE

Each family is unique. Every child deserves to be seen and known. There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to choosing schools and maximizing resources for your child. Whether you’re exploring the next step in your child’s education, or you simply sense that something isn’t working, experienced guidance allows you to understand your child’s individual needs and make the best possible decisions for their futures.

  • “Amy was an extraordinary guide to navigating the independent school admissions process. We were new to the process and Amy took the time to really get to know our oldest daughter and our whole family, connecting us with the school community, and supporting us through the financial aid process. She has a preternatural ability to see young people and understand their potential. She brought warmth and humanity to what could have been an intimidating process and managed to make it feel like becoming part of a community."

Every piece of advice and recommendation she offered was helpful, wise, and ultimately guided us to reach a decision. The end result was that our son moved mid-year to one of the two schools Amy had suggested. Within less than a week, his love of learning had returned and he was feeling positive about school again. I credit Amy’s help with getting us there in one piece.”
