Testimonials
When I started my college search, Alison helped identify the types of schools that would suit me best. Together we formed a well-balanced list of schools each of which I was equally excited about. Alison gave me the right resources to help me research the different schools which helped me get a better sense of the different options. I would highly recommend Alison; she is particularly knowledgeable of not only US colleges, but international universities as well.

My son & I have been working with Alison McCaul since April and we would highly recommend her to anyone. She possess the ability to truly understand the client's needs, even when the client is not exactly sure what their needs are. She is highly knowledgeable and resourceful on every aspect of preparing my son for his successful college journey abroad. She responds to emails, texts and phone calls in record time and is always well prepared for our anticipated questions and concerns. Oh, and did I mention, she is such pleasure to work with? This is quite the unchartered territory to study abroad, but, with Alison's superior professional guidance and skills, our continued journey is right on course! Thanks Alison, we couldn't do this without you!

Without Alison’s help, I wouldn’t have known how to navigate the college process; she steered me in finding a well-rounded college list. If you don’t know where to start, I’d highly recommend Alison. (She knows a lot about international colleges too!).

Alison is an educator whose passion for her students has led her to develop deep expertise on an issue of great importance to families around the world: making wise decisions about college education. Alison has offered helpful, well thought, and practical workshops to dozens of students at our school. She has some creative and eye-opening perspectives on options on universities in the US but also around the world. And speaking as a parent as well, I especially appreciate her attention to the costs of college education and the way that she encourages teens to think “outside the box” about this important decision. - Paul Boesen, Managing Director, English Now!
I wasn't sure what colleges I wanted to apply to or where to even begin looking. Alison helped create a well rounded list of colleges that interested me. I've never heard of some of the colleges on the list, but they were all amazing and exactly what I was looking for. Alison worked very hard to find the perfect colleges for me and I am very thankful for having her help.

I had the chance to meet Mrs. McCaul, one of the best advisors I have ever had. Even if she didn't know me, she was able to make me feel comfortable and to help me with my application essay. She immediately understood my needs and with patience she helped me to ''put my ideas on the paper'', without making mistakes. I'd recommend her to everyone because she is able to meet your needs from a professional perspective.
