PROVEN SUCCESS
We have worked successfully with students from all different backgrounds and walks of life who were facing difficulties of every tone and tenor including mental health-related challenges, learning disabilities, and academic and social stressors.
PERSONALIZED APPROACH
We recognize that each student faces challenges unique to their school, life experiences, and situation. Our strategy is thus custom designed to meet the needs of the specific circumstances in which our students find themselves.
College Application Consulting
Identifying the right college or university, preparing your application, and applying can be difficult. We can help.
1
KNOW THYSELF
Making yourself an attractive applicant involves knowing who you are and ensuring that your prospective college knows it too. To that end, we guide our students in asking themselves difficult questions and making choices in the years prior to application that will give them the best chance at a successful application.
2
THE RIGHT MATCH
There are over 5000 institutions of higher education in the US alone and 25,000 worldwide. Few things are more important in determining success than finding the right fits. We assist students in identifying the schools where they are best positioned to thrive.
3
THE APPLICATION
We offer full service application assistance, including essay brainstorming and editing, demonstrating interest, preparing for interviews, and more.
College Success Consulting
From academic and career coaching to tutoring in writing and other skills, our years of Ivy League experience allow us to offer comprehensive services to our students.
ACADEMIC COACHING
Attending college and choosing a major field of study inevitably raises questions about quintessential elements of our identities as people. Hyll helps students parse these fundamental questions in a way that is productive and painless, allowing you to choose the paths that most fulfill you.
HUMANITIES AND WRITING TUTORING
We are experts at helping students to master, explain, and write about the most challenging concepts in literary and film theory, philosophical and political discourse, and other humanistic disciplines at all levels from first-year through graduate school.
CAREER COUNSELING
Decisions about what to do after college are momentous. We can help you apply for summer internships, Medical, Law, or Graduate School, prestigious fellowships, or jobs. We offer complete application review and editing as well as mock interviews.
DISCIPLINE AND HONOR
Navigating a university’s disciplinary or honor code review process can be intimidating. We have experience guiding students through even the most complex and emotionally trying circumstances, including making or facing allegations of Title IX violations.
