In the words of our families

Every relationship is personal. Here's what students and parents have shared after working together.

"Thank you for working with our kids to help them find the college and major that best suited them. When we first got started, the process of selecting colleges and a major seemed so daunting and complicated. But you helped us navigate that by asking great questions, listening to our kids and walking them through assessments which helped them clarify their interests and career aspirations, which then led to possible colleges and majors. Our kids have very different personalities, but you tailored the process to best fit how they think and respond. And additionally, as our son was in his last year of college, you helped him with his job search and coached him on interview skills. It's clear that you enjoy what you do and stay current on college news and the job industry. We can't thank you enough Rick!"

"Rick was instrumental in partnering with our son throughout his college journey. He provided thoughtful guidance backed by research and facts, while also speaking to our son as a trusted mentor. Rick helped him better understand what was possible, from exploring potential majors to identifying colleges that would be a strong fit academically, personally, and professionally. What stood out most was how collaborative the process felt. Rick provided materials and exercises that helped our son reflect on who he is, what interests him, and what areas of study might be most meaningful to him. He also helped brainstorm essay ideas and review drafts in a way that preserved our son's own voice and helped his essays become a true reflection of what he wanted to convey. We would highly recommend Rick Quon to any prospective student or family looking for guidance in the college selection process. He was a true partner throughout the journey, and we feel the insight and support he provided helped our son make more informed, confident decisions about his future path."
