About Us
Our mission is to provide quality educational consulting services to families and students in meeting their educational objectives. We are committed to providing services that are individualized and collaborative in nature and focusing on specific needs, including academics, learning styles, and individual student's potential.
We know colleges. We know what schools look for in students, what they like to see on an application, and how your application gets noticed.
Sarphatie Education knows this well, and can take the hassle out of applying to schools. We take the time to get to know each of our client's goals and desires, and help them draft a concrete plan to realize their education goals. Unlike many college counselors, we also have the resources to carry out your education plan. Our handpicked tutors train students to reach their potential, and our dedicated staff take the hassle out of assembling paperwork.
Consulting
Getting into the school that best fits you requires planning — careful planning and guidance to develop a purposeful strategy.
Dr. Discenza knows that the right college is one that sets you up for academic and personal success. Dr. Discenza will guide you so you find the right college, and place you inside that college. Dr. Discenza guides you through the process with the three values she holds dear: advisement, aid, and advocacy.
Advisment
Dr. Discenza works with each student to develop an individualized college search and admissions strategy. Through initial interviews, she will learn about you and develop a list of schools that best fit you. Dr. Discenza will then help you get into the schools that fit you best, both by coaching you academically and helping you with your application. Sarphatie Education also offers a full range of tutoring services for standardized tests and help with classes.
Aid
Dr. Discenza can guide our clients through the world of financial aid should they retain all of our services. She and her staff will seek aid in places few bother to look, and will help fund your education. In fact, the amount of aid we get for our students far exceeds our own costs.
Advocacy
Dr. Discenza knows colleges, and how to work with each one. Once inside a college, Dr. Discenza will help smooth your transition to college life. Whether you are adjusting to the independence college often brings, need help managing academic responsibilities, or have a disability and are not sure where to turn, Dr. Discenza knows the right people who can help you
Frequently Asked Questions
-
A college education is the biggest investment most people make, ranking alongside buying home. Just like buying a home, planning for and choosing a college is extremely complex. Finding the college that can set you up for success is a daunting task, and often hard to get right. Applying to school and then getting admitted is more complex still.
Now, the stakes are much higher for choosing the right college. According to the Washington-based Brookings Institute, success in college can dramatically increase life-long financial well-being. A college tuition offers an inflation-adjusted 15 percent annual return on investment. That’s a higher return than stocks (seven percent) or even real estate (less than one percent).
Just as people who buy real estate hire a real estate agent to guide them, so can Sarphatie Education help you maximize your return on your college investment. We work with students to determine which college best suits each client personally, and then provide the client with tutoring services and admissions help to get into best-fit colleges. Once you send the application, we work with schools to make sure they understand why you are an asset to their community. We help at every step of the way, and make sure the student grows both personally and financially. -
Sarphatie Education uses a multi-step process that begins with advisement. Working with Jacque, you will develop a list of schools that best fit your personality. Once you decide to target particular schools, Jacque will help you develop a rock-solid resume. Academic coaching, SAT and ACT preparation, and subject matter tutoring are just a few of the other services we offer.
Unlike most services, we do not just submit your application and hope for a positive response – we make it happen. -
We are always eager to help those who learn differently. From the very start, we have helped students with differences achieve the same goals and objectives as their "normal" peers do. Since we give highly personalized service to all of our clients already, we can easily advocate for these individuals and the unique gifts they possess.
