My college counselor, Ms. Hott, has encouraged me both emotionally and academically over the last two years we have been meeting. I was always grateful for the progress we were making together, but working with her for so long now has opened my eyes to see just how much of an impact she has made on me. I realized that Ms. Hott is not just there to help her students to submit strong college applications, but she is also there to guide students to discover more about themselves and who they want to be. Whether it is about their talents, values, interests, passions, Mrs. Hott makes her students feel special for being uniquely them. No matter how many students she has, she always treats me with kindness, patience, and care. I will be in college in less than a year, but I have full confidence that for the rest of my life I will never forget the lifelong impact that she has had on me.

Working with you made my parents feel less stressed about the process, and myself less stressed and more confident.

Karen Hott provided our first child with the direction and guidance needed to make applying to colleges organized and less stressful for all involved. The counseling was tailored to our child’s specific interests and needs and were not just generic suggestions. Karen is extremely accessible and was always only an email or text away. She provided our child with lasting instructional skills in writing as well. I cannot begin to express the stress relief we, as parents, felt knowing Karen was there to guide us through the process. After launching our first child, we asked Karen to help Child #2, and we’re glad we did.

We are truly grateful for the opportunity to work with Karen through the college decision and application process for our daughter. Karen was generous with her time and knowledge and cares for her clients. This was our oldest so we were inexperienced as to the whole process. Karen took the time to work closely with our daughter to really get to know her personality so that she could guide her accordingly. She also shared valuable resources for researching and touring colleges, preparing for standardized testing, FAFSA/financial aid and provided us with a very important timeline of events/deadlines so that we would not be rushed and stressed come fall of Senior year. Karen worked with our daughter to help her narrow the schools she would be applying to as well as reviewed her essays showing as much care as a family member. Most importantly, my husband & I feel very confident that our daughter found the school where she will thrive and be very happy! Karen was invaluable! We would recommend Two Bridges to anyone going through the college decision process.
