I'm Christina Santos
I work with middle school through college students, and their families, who want to spend their family time making memories and having fun, not on tracking homework deadlines and writing college admissions essays.
I help students identify their goals, create a plan and achieve success, using all virtual supports-- and free up parents to be parents. Since 2003, I’ve supported the success of hundreds of high school and college students, working with some for more than a decade to achieve their goals.
I partner with students and their families to help students attain success. I collaborate with you and your family to set goals, track progress, and keep everyone on the same page. From developing note-taking skills to applying to summer internships, my coaching focuses on building critical skills, so that your child is not only on the road to academic success, but to success in life.
With more than 15 years’ experience at nationally recognized nonprofit-organizations and higher education institutions, I am committed to student success.
And I know you could use a partner like that.
