Testimonials

Mrs. Beserra's guidance has made the troublesome journey of college searching so much easier for me.

JoAnn Beserra made my college decision process so much easier and more approachable. I started my work with her with only a general idea of where I wanted to go. She not only helped me narrow down my options, but also made these options possible for me by helping me find internships, revise my essays and finish my applications. JoAnn cares about every student she works with; she even ran out of her way to my school one day to discuss my essays with me during my lunch! Her support alleviated so much of my college stress. Leaving meetings with her, I would feel much more relaxed and confident about my future. I will be attending Northwestern University next fall and am so happy about my decision. This would not have been possible without JoAnn's help. Her dedication, commitment and passion for her work and students is obvious in everything she does.

Jo-Ann really helped me create a college plan and work through it, making the entire process much easier than what many of my friends endured.  Her passion and excitement were contagious, and I could tell her heart was with helping me find a perfect college match, which I did!

Jo-Ann provided tremendous assistance in my daughter’s college search. She helped my daughter take charge of her own college process, provided her with detailed information and advice, and guided me in how to support her. Jo-Ann helped her narrow her college options, while ensuring she was applying to a range of schools from those that were likely to admit her to those that were a stretch. Her guidance on whether to apply early action or early decision was invaluable. The college process is so much more difficult and stressful now than it was when I went to college. Jo-Ann helped us reduce the stress and gave us confidence that my daughter would find a great college. And she did!
