Education Polis — Local services in Cupertino

I was totally stressed out when my son's previous college counselor couldn't work with him any more at the end of September in his senior year. Yet my son refused to take my help because he wanted parents to be out of his college application process completely. Luckily a friend referred her daughter's college counselor Michelle to me.

Michelle has her magic to work with rebellious teens. My son refused to spend more than an hour a week with his previous college counselor, but Michelle was able to convince him to spend enough time to finish 18 applications from October to January. She is flexible with the schedule, can do both online and in-person in her Cupertino office, most importantly, listens to the teens. My son completely trusted Michelle and I trusted them throughout the process. I only knew which schools my son applied for when paying the application fees. My son texted Michelle first thing when he got EA to UIUC Mechanical Engineering, in the middle of a class, but he did not tell us until his bedtime.

If you have an independent and rebellious teen, Michelle would be a good choice. And that probably makes it an easy case to work with more compliant teens 😀 I'm very grateful for the help offered...

I have been attending tutoring and counseling sessions here since 8th grade and EP has been there for me every step of the way. From my last minute math test questions to long college application essays, I could always rely on my counselor and teachers to make arrangements that accommodate my needs. My counselor, Michelle Park, has come to really understand me as a person across the years and always sees the best for me. She is also always there for me when I have trouble navigating the many little things during the college application process. I am incredibly grateful for the close relationships I have developed through EP and would strongly recommend it for any student seeking to have strong grades and be a standout...

Michelle Park is the best Director. She cares each student from the bottom of her heart. She always try her best to find the best tutor to accommodate our request. I know she helped students to prepare college applications until mid night! Their tutors r very professional and smart especially Jeffery, Susanna, and Kriza. Both of my daughters graduated from HS with straight As and both go to top colleges in the US. Thank you Michelle...
