Standard Hourly Rate
$250 per hour. I am available for one-off sessions to answer specific questions, troubleshoot a research hurdle, or provide a quick “adulting” check-in. All rates are listed in USD.
“You lead the way, I adapt my role:
explicit instruction, collaborative brainstorming, or simply an accountability check-in. Just tell me what you need today.”
Focused Support Packages
These packages are designed for specific, short-term goals where you need a guide to help you build the map.
The “Document Audit” – $395
- Focus: High-impact feedback on a single project (grad school essay, scholarship application, CV, or major paper).
- Includes: 90 minutes of independent review by me, one 60-minute feedback call to discuss strategy, and a final 30-minute “green light” review of your second draft.
The “Sprint” – $550
- Focus: Getting a specific deadline across the finish line (e.g., one program application).
- Includes: A hard-capped 5-hour container consisting of 3 hours of live consulting and 2 hours of asynchronous work (researching program requirements or email replies).
The “Semester Check-Point” – $595
- Focus: Accountability and “adulting” for the student who is capable but needs a nudge.
- Includes: Three 50-minute coaching calls (one per month) and regular “accountability texts” to ensure deadlines are met. Note: This package does not include document editing.
The “Let’s Tackle This” – $1,125
- Focus: A medium-sized project requiring deeper refinement.
- Includes: 6 hours of dedicated consultation and research. Ideal for creating a personalized time-management system tailored to your habits or narrowing a complex research project down to a manageable thesis.
“I meet you where you’re at.
Whether you need a cheerleader, a reviewer, or a focused strategist,
our partnership is built around your pace and priorities.”
Comprehensive & Long-Term Partnerships
For students navigating major transitions or complex multi-year decisions.
“The Semester Concierge” – $1,500/semester
- Focus: Peace of mind and project management for the entire academic term.
- Includes: One 90-minute strategic planning session, bi-weekly 30-minute accountability check-ins, and unlimited “Quick Question” email/text access. I act as your personal education office, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
“The Give Me Homework” – $2,000
- Focus: For the self-motivated student who wants the map but will do the driving.
- Includes: 10 hours of strategic direction. I serve as the researcher and director, identifying networking or research opportunities and creating detailed “homework” assignments; you act as the primary implementer of the work.
“Need a brainstorming partner or a stern auntie?
You define the guidance you need, exactly when you need it.”
Payment Policies & Service Add-ons
- Initial Consult: A 45-minute free consultation is available for all new clients to ensure we are a “good fit”.
- Non-Refundable Deposit: All packages require a 50% deposit at the start of our sessions.
- Installment Billing: The remaining 50% is billed once we have used half of the total hours in your package.
- Add-on Blocks: If you are an existing package holder and need more time, you can purchase additional 3-hour blocks at $200/hour.
- The “Container” Rule: To protect our time and your budget, email support is for clarifying previous sessions, unless otherwise specified. New document reviews or complex questions will be batch-processed during our live sessions or deducted from your package’s asynchronous bank
