Charlotte M. Klaar, PhD - Expert

I am an Independent Educational Consultant specializing in the college search and application process. I also work with all age groups as a Career Coach. I am a Certified Educational Planner (CEP) with 20-plus years of experience in my field.

While searching for colleges with my own daughters, I became acutely aware of the struggles and stress young people and their parents go through during the college planning, selection and admissions process. I realized that many families needed professional, knowledgeable guidance. My previous business background as a manager with a blue-chip Fortune 500 company, my experience as a school teacher, and my own personal experience inspired me to enter the field of educational consulting.

I consistently strive to keep my professional knowledge up-to-date by visiting colleges nationwide, attending conferences and keeping up on changes in my profession. Go to my website for more detail on my background and professional associations.

I utilize a no-nonsense, no-excuses style as I work with students to make the college search, application and essay process a delightful adventure of self-discovery and growth. Along the way, I help students learn to make more informed decisions and to own the college search process. Students trust me, respect my knowledge and experience and work hard to meet their assignments and deadlines.

Additionally, I understand how stressful the whole process can be and act as a buffer between you, the parent, and your student. I also value the importance of knowing your student and family well enough to create a college career path for your student’s unique goals and strengths.

In short, I can help your student achieve his or her dreams for their college and career! Click here to contact me and we’ll get you on your way to a brighter tomorrow!
