“We are so happy to have found CES! We’ve had a handful of sessions so far and already her services are proving to be invaluable. Having someone as experienced as Caroline step in to help us navigate the college admissions process is such a relief. She is knowledgeable, insightful, and encouraging, and as a very focused and thoughtful approach to honing in on who my daughter is, including her values and her personal and academic goals. My daughter feels very comfortable already and is fully engaged in the process. Now that we have Caroline to guide us, I am no longer feeling overwhelmed.”
-Liz, parent of a Beyond Admissions sophomore at Watchung Hills Regional High School
“Working with Caroline and James throughout my college application process was truly an exceptional experience! They were efficient, accommodating, and incredibly resourceful, and their guidance was essential throughout the entire process. James made the task of writing my college essay much more manageable, and his thoughtful edits and additions helped transform my essay into something that was not just unique, but also extremely polished and mature. Throughout the process, they made me feel that my ideas and input were valued, while also helping me make my voice so that it stood out to schools. With their support, I was confident that my applications were authentic and strong by the end of the process. I truly believe that without the help of Caroline and James, I would not have been accepted into my dream school, and I am deeply grateful for their guidance and support during my college application process!”

“We’ve had a wonderful experience working with our SAT tutor, James, and college coach, Caroline, this year. They’ve been instrumental in helping our son improve his SAT score while also guiding him through important aspects of the college preparation process. From strengthening his testing strategies to helping him develop his resume and focus on what’s important during junior year, their support has been invaluable. We truly appreciate their dedication and the confidence they’ve helped build in our son as he prepares for the next step toward college. ”

“Caroline was a pleasure and so easy to work with. She was extremely flexible with our busy schedule. She was able to extrapolate all of their skills and make both of my children stand out in their applications. I’m sure without Caroline‘s help we would not have been able to achieve all of the acceptances we were offered and would not have achieved the level of financial support that the colleges offered. ”

“Mrs. Sofo has played a major role in my academics since I started tutoring sessions with her. I am so grateful to have been able to work with her on many levels. She has assisted with my ability to gain confidence and feel proud of myself; not only in the academic aspect, but as a growing, capable, young woman! When I first met her, I had no motivation to do well in school; but she has transformed me into a straight A student. I didn’t think this was possible, but she understood and helped me in more ways than I could have imagined. So happy that I met her and have been able to work with her for over a year now. Not sure I’d be where I am now without her!”
—Brooke, Former senior at Governor Livingston
“Over the past few months, I have loved working with Caroline as she prepped me for my exams and learned more about me. She is very sociable and knew how to adapt and change her teaching style as we spent more time together. I found out we shared common interests and learned about how fun she could be. She also knew when to crack down and really push me before my tests, encouraging me to practice as much as possible and really find out what I could achieve. She is constantly pushing me to be better, and really just wants what is best for me.”
