    What’s my “secret” to helping kids get into (and pay for) college?

    Experience

    I’ve been helping students and their families apply, get into and afford college for more than 20 years.

    Full Support

    I work with students to find the right college, write compelling essays, obtain scholarships and become their best selves.

    Joy

    Partnering with you to help your teen succeed when it comes to college is my passion! The payoff of seeing great kids get into the college of their dreams and grow into successful adults is priceless.

    At a time when the college selection process is extremely demanding and can be very stressful for everyone involved, it is refreshing to have guides who know the ropes and bring a personal touch to the process.

    The Compass team helped us navigate the overwhelming variety of choices for our two children by finding schools that fit their individual ambitions and learning styles. The investment was small compared to payback of having motivated students in the right learning environment!

    When I first started the process I did not really know where to begin, but thankfully the Compass team laid out a “roadmap” for me that had key due dates for apps and was my lifeline for getting all of my apps in on time.

    Meet The Education Doctor.

    (You can call me Dr. Pamela.)

    I’ve helped hundreds of young people find and be admitted to best-fit colleges so parents save time and avoid over-paying.

    I graduated from Stanford University and the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, and received a doctorate from the Stanford University School of Education.

    I’ve since spent 20+ years working in education research and as a financial executive in the private sector. “The Education Doctor®” curriculum emerged from my research on transition and retention.
