From first drafts to final deadlines, I offer personalized, affordable coaching to help you stand out and secure scholarships.
Hi, I’m Andi Stewart — a professional environmental engineer, wife, mom, and founder of A2 Impact Solutions and Project Sun Safe. For the past five years, I’ve helped students gain admission to top colleges — including Ivy League schools — and secure over $1 million in scholarships and merit-based aid. What started as a favor quickly grew into a passion project fueled by word-of-mouth referrals nationwide. While the majority of my clients have been in the Northeast and on the West Coast, I’m excited to bring that experience to our local students. With a sharp eye for storytelling and a heart for helping families, I combine strategy, authenticity, and science-backed clarity to empower students to pursue life-changing opportunities — with confidence.
The college admissions process is more competitive—and more confusing—than ever. A college coach brings clarity, strategy, and experience to help your student stand out with stronger applications, compelling essays, and smart school choices. The return on your investment? Potentially tens—or even hundreds—of thousands of dollars in merit-based scholarships, reduced tuition costs, and better-fit opportunities that lead to long-term success. It's not just about getting in—it's about getting in smart.
Some students begin early in high school to build a strong, strategic foundation. Others jump in during the summer before senior year or partway through the fall. No matter when you start, it’s never too early—or too late—to benefit. And coaching doesn’t mean handing over control. You stay in the driver’s seat. A good coach supports your goals, offering guidance where you need it most—whether it’s refining your resume, choosing schools, or making your essays shine.
I believe every student—and every parent—is capable of understanding the college admissions process, even when it feels overwhelming or confusing. You don’t need a special background or insider knowledge to make informed decisions. You just need someone to help make the information clear, approachable, and actionable.
My role as your coach is to break down complex steps into simple, honest guidance—without watering down the facts. I’m here to help you feel confident, not intimidated. Whether you’re building a resume, choosing the right schools, or tackling an essay, my goal is to equip you with the clarity, strategy, and confidence to show up as your best self.
This process is about you. You have the power, the voice, and the agency to take ownership of your future—and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
There are a few ways to approach college coaching — by the hour or through bundled packages. While both options offer flexibility, I highly recommend a package for greater consistency, structure, and follow-through.
Individual Hourly Rate: $75
Each package is thoughtfully designed to provide maximum value and support throughout your college planning journey. You can select focus areas from the College Conversations Menu or bring your own topics to the table—we’ll tailor our time to meet your specific needs.
Face-to-face coaching time refers to the one-on-one sessions with you and your student. Behind-the-scenes support includes asynchronous work such as essay editing, research, and application reviews.
I operate with a strong commitment to quality and diligence. If we run a few minutes over your allotted 1:1 time—or if I choose to go deeper into research or revisions on your behalf—I never charge extra. I’d rather deliver exceptional work than watch the clock.
Every package includes final (or near-final) deliverables aligned with your selected focus areas. We'll set clear expectations up front, so you’ll always know what to expect and what you’re getting. Transparency, value, and care are at the heart of how I work.
Perfect for quick clarity or a focused boost. No pressure and no long-term commitment. Choose 1 focus area. Receive 1 hour of face-to-face, 1:1 coaching and 1 hour of behind-the-scenes support, including asynchronous work such as essay editing, research, and application reviews.

Build your base with the essentials. Choose 2-3 focus areas.
