College Assurity — Local services in Santa Clarita

My family was fortunate to work with Rudy Herrera and College Assurity for my daughters Sam and Jacqueline. My wife and I had not been through the college application and preparation process and were a bit overwhelmed. More importantly, we did not want to miss something that could have benefited our kids who had worked so hard in school. Enter Rudy and College Assurity.

Rudy held us by the hand and walked us through the process of what to expect. He gave Sam the roadmap needed to maximize her profile for the colleges she wanted to apply. He provided her with tips, goals and deadlines. He referred us to an essay writer to work with Sam, who is already a gifted writer. She was amazing and hit it off with Sam right away. Each step of the way and each bump in the road Rudy was there for us with a solution.

Rudy also worked with our other daughter, Jacqueline, who is a bit more reserved and standoffish. He was able to break through her shell and get through to her. Recently, we called Rudy in a panic about an issue that needed immediate attention. Rudy had us come to his office. We went in later that morning and Rudy was already working on the issue. Within 15 minutes we walked out, panic gone with the problem solved. This was something Jacqueline and I could not resolve . . . but Rudy could and did.

I genuinely believe Rudy loves what he does and, because of this, he builds a special connection with the students with whom he works. This synergy maximizes the potential for the student and put me at ease during the college preparation and application process. For those of you balking at using College Assurity's services I ask you this: what price do you put on your children's academic future? For my family, the value received for the cost paid and the peace of mind knowing we did our best for our kids was an easy tradeoff. I highly recommend Rudy and College Assurity. Do it...

I am beyond grateful for the positive experience I've had working with Rudy and the College Assurity team. Going into the college application process, I was extremely worried about financial aid and how I was going to pay for college--so worried that I was dead set on going to COC to save money. However, thanks to Rudy's constant support and encouragement, he advised me to apply to four-year universities and promised that "the money would come". Without Rudy working alongside me every step of the way, I would not have received a full academic ride to my dream school, the University of Oregon (SCO DUCKS).

Working with Rudy has proven that he is more than just an average college counselor. The personalized attention you receive with Rudy alongside his eagerness to watch his students succeed has helped make Rudy feel like a friend above everything. While most days are spent working hard researching schools and writing essays, other days are spent chatting about music, sports, and other things unrelated to college planning. Rudy ensures that the college application process moves smoothly while ensuring his students maintain balance in their lives. I could not be more grateful to have spent the college application process working with Rudy. I am confident I wouldn't be in the position I am today had I not worked with College Assurity! Thank you Rudy...

My son, Syd, and I worked with Rudy over the last couple years. We learned a bit late how important it was to have guidance not only through the application process but well before. We were fortunate to find Rudy in the eleventh hour to guide us through the preparation and application submission. Wish we found you 3 years earlier Rudy. Rudy immediately jumped right in to help direct Syd on what to do and how to do it. Writing his essays and submitting applications and so much more. I think the most important thing Rudy shared with Syd was to follow his passion and that is ultimately what will drive his education to the success he has been working so hard for. We became part of a family joining Rudy. He continues to advise and assist us. This is so important because Syd as most young adults are still trying to figure out his direction. Rudy continues to guide and advise in a time we need it more than ever. We are so grateful for this man and the care he has given to not only my son but our family....
