Our solutions for families are custom-tailored to help students succeed in the college admissions process and help parents effectively organize and advocate for their interests. Dr. Amutah brings personal lessons learned from applying to over 20 colleges and universities as a high school student himself and gaining admission to each of his top choices (some of whose admissions letters are seen below) including Harvard, Princeton, and Columbia. He also brings valuable experience as a former high school teacher and writer of recommendations as well as experience as an SAT tutor/instructor for Kaplan Test Prep. Dr. Amutah’s dissertation research focused on parental advocacy methods in multiple districts and we can support parents and parent groups in their efforts to make their voices heard in educational decisions.
