Untangling the College Admissions Journey

In-person and Virtual College Counseling

Rob and Evan have been academic coaches in the college application arena for decades.

Although the process can be stressful and consuming, it doesn’t need to be.

With a combined 50 years in public education, we have a natural knack for working with teenagers. Let us evaluate your child’s aspirations and potential and collaborate on a realistic college plan.

Our Philosophy

To be honest, this is what we do every day. We roll up our sleeves and practice this work.

Our first goal is to meet a student where they are at: no judgments, no burdens. We strive to get to know each child in the most meaningful way possible.

Our second goal is to get to know your child and earn their trust. It’s the small stuff that helps to shape a student profile. All too often the most interesting aspects of a students’ life are left out of a school application.

Our third goal is to take the burden off of you, creating a less stressful environment for all.

And, we assure you that your dinner table will be a much more enjoyable place.

What people are saying...

  • Stephen R, New Rochelle, NY

    Mr. Madin encourages his students to think critically about the topic at hand, bringing one’s own, authentic voice to the forefront. In a world of shortcuts and homogeneity, Mr. Madin challenges his students to dig deeper with his unique style that inspires thoughtful self-reflection. His passion and high quality standards for writing motivated me to bring my best work to the page. Over time, with Mr. Madin’s guidance and feedback, my writing improved and I became more skilled at effectively communicating my message to the reader. He is the best English teacher and writing coach I have ever had.

  • Lauren C, Larchmont, NY:

    I had heard from other parents that Mr. Madin was an amazing teacher but he was beyond amazing. Honestly.  There are no words for how much I appreciate everything he has done for my daughter.  English has always been her weakness, she is a math and science girl.  But now she is an amazing writer and she got a 4 on the AP test. I was shocked when I read her college essay because I never expected her writing to be as good as it is.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

  • Amy R, Larchmont, NY

    I have known Evan Madin in three different capacities: as my son’s journalism teacher, my work colleague, and my dear friend.  Evan easily connects with teenagers and coaches them to find their voice and perfect their writing style.  He is intent on his students doing their very best work.  Evan has a way of reviewing essays and giving feedback that is positive even when revisions need to be made.  

    My son still talks about his teacher, Mr. Madin, who made a lasting impression back in 2016.  As a parent who has gone through the college process three times, I can say with conviction, that you will appreciate having Evan’s support and encouragement throughout this process.
