The Bilingual College Counselor Families Trust to Get It Right
Sarah Jimenez has guided over 500 families across all 50 states and Puerto Rico through strategic college planning for 15+ years. Based in Doral, FL, she provides bilingual (English/Spanish) expert guidance through personalized, contract-free sessions, helping students from middle school through 12th grade make informed decisions that open doors instead of closing them.
The Stakes Are Real
One Uninformed Decision Can Close Doors Before They Ever Open
Information Overload Without Direction
Families drown in conflicting advice from guidance counselors, online forums, and well-meaning relatives—but no one is giving them a strategic roadmap specific to their student's unique profile and goals.
Generic Guidance That Misses the Mark
School counselors manage 400+ students and can't provide individualized strategy. Cookie-cutter advice ignores your student's strengths, challenges, language needs, and financial reality.
Expensive Packages You Can't Afford
Traditional college counseling firms demand $3,000–$10,000 upfront for year-long contracts filled with services you don't need—putting expert guidance out of reach for most families.
What families actually need is expert strategic direction tailored to their student's specific situation, available when they need it most (without contracts, without overpaying, and in the language they speak at home).
Strategic Guidance by Grade Level
Each stage of the college planning journey requires different expertise. Sarah provides focused, outcome-driven sessions designed for where your student is right now.
Middle School
$150- Identify which high schools and course pathways align with your student's university goals—before enrollment decisions are made
- Build a purposeful extracurricular foundation early, avoiding wasted time on activities that won't strengthen future applications
- Understand what "competitive applicant" actually means for your target universities
- Create a strategic 4-year roadmap so high school isn't reactive—it's intentional
9th Grade
$250- Select the right courses and rigor level to build a strong transcript without overwhelming your student
- Choose extracurriculars strategically—depth and leadership matter more than quantity
- Establish study habits and organizational systems that will carry through to college applications
- Avoid the most common 9th grade mistakes that limit options later
10th Grade
$350- Adjust course selection strategically based on 9th grade performance and evolving goals
- Deepen extracurricular involvement with leadership roles and measurable impact
- Begin meaningful career exploration through internships, projects, or mentorship
- Prepare strategically for the high-stakes junior year ahead
11th Grade
$500- Build a balanced university list tailored to your student's academic profile, financial needs, and career goals—reach, target, and safety schools that actually fit
- Develop a strategic SAT/ACT testing timeline and preparation plan based on your student's strengths
- Strengthen extracurricular impact with leadership, awards, and documented outcomes
- Position your student as a competitive applicant for their target universities
12th Grade
$550- Analyze acceptance letters and financial aid packages side-by-side to understand what you're actually being offered
- Decode financial aid terminology—grants, loans, work-study, EFC, COA—and calculate the true cost of attendance
- Compare net price across multiple universities to make an informed financial decision
- Make the final enrollment decision strategically, balancing academic fit, financial reality, and career outcomes
How It Works
Pre-Session Strategic Review
Submit your student's academic profile, goals, and specific questions before the session. Sarah reviews everything in advance so your 60 minutes together are focused and actionable—not spent gathering basic information.
60-Minute Expert Consultation
A private, one-on-one virtual session (via Zoom) where Sarah provides strategic guidance tailored to your student's exact situation. Available in English or Spanish. No generic advice—only direction specific to your family.
Written Action Plan Delivered
After the session, you receive a detailed written summary with clear, prioritized next steps. You'll know exactly what to do, when to do it, and why it matters—so you can move forward with confidence.
If You Selected an Add-On
Add-ons (Common Application Review or Supplemental Essay Feedback) are completed after your session. Submit your materials within 48 hours of the session, and Sarah will return detailed written feedback within 3–5 business days—so you can revise and submit with confidence.
