I have 2 teens and Jill has helped me over the years select camps and summer enrichment programs for them that specifically addressed their individual needs.

She pulled together very thoughtful assessments and targeted recommendations enabling us to select wonderful summer programs.”

“I came across Jill’s name from a US article last year and I just took the liberty to write to her. This is how we start. Over the past months, she has helped me to untie many difficult knots. As I am an overseas parents and did not know anyone in the US and clueless about US education system, Jill has helped me solve many of my problems, not to mention finding tutorial assistance for my child, connecting me with professional educators to obtain indepth information, sourcing summer programs. Her resources are phenomenial and she really understands my needs, especially from the parents’ perspective. As my English is not proficient, she can read my mind over our distant telephone conversation and extend her professional assistance.”
