MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Hi, I'm Tina Steele.
30+ years of experience in admissions, financial aid, student advising, college transitions, and teaching college courses.
I began my career in higher education just out of high school when I landed my first "real job" working as a financial aid advisor in a local truck driving school. I quickly realized that I loved working with and helping students navigate the college planning process and achieving their dreams, and so my journey began.

Client Testimonials
"Not only has Tina helped us get more free money from several institutions with her appeal process guidance, she helped my daughter secure over 25 college acceptances for the Fall 2020 term and roughly 1.5 million dollars in scholarship money guaranteed all four years! Furthermore, she’s critiqued all of her essays and provided numerous hours of emotional support. I don’t think my daughter would be where she is right now in her college process without Tina’s help. We love her!"

"Excellent and helpful. Whether you know what you are doing or not, it is a great way to keep yourself in check. If you are somewhat overwhelmed, Tina helps you map it out and can help you as much or as little as you need. It is worth not making a small mistake with big consequences. Our son had everything submitted by November 23. We were ahead but there were many small important tweaks that were very important and helpful. Tina is great. We’d do it again if we had to."
— Rose Burcheri San Mateo, CA
