Why hire Coach Bean?
As a former public high school counselor for 14 years, Coach Bean provided comprehensive support to more than 900 students and families through the process of applying to college. In addition to working with students and families directly, he also took time to have conversations with college admission representatives who visited his school to speak to the students. The information he gained from these conversations provided a first-hand look into the many variables that colleges consider when choosing their incoming first-year students. This enables Coach Bean to accurately assess and advise his students as prospective college candidates. He helps students reflect their “best self” on their applications.
