College Prep for Your Teen: Your Guide to Navigating the Path to College

I’m excited to introduce my new LinkedIn newsletter, "College Prep for Your Teen", created specifically to support parents like you as you help your teen navigate the college prep process—all while balancing your own busy life.

Why I'm Creating This Now:

Helping your teen get into college is a rewarding but challenging journey, requiring over 300 hours of your time. As a working parent, juggling this process alongside your career can feel overwhelming.

That’s why I’ve created this newsletter: to provide you with expert advice and practical strategies that not only help your teen succeed but also ensure you are cared for along the way.

What I Will Share in the Upcoming Weeks:

• Self-Care Parenting: How to take care of yourself while guiding your teen through college prep. This journey is long, and your well-being is just as important as your teen's success. Strategies for managing the stress of balancing 300+ hours of your time preparing your teen while continuing to advance in your career.
• Finding the Right College for Your Teen: Tips on selecting colleges that match your teen’s profile, skills, and future aspirations.
• Effective Communication with Your Teen: How to maintain a strong relationship with your teen, especially when disagreements arise during the college prep process.

With the expertise of Compass College Advisory, we’ve helped 95% of our students gain admission to their top-choice colleges, securing over $33M in scholarships. As The Education Doctor?, I’m here to help you navigate this process with mindfulness and ease.

Let’s make the college prep process smoother for both you and your teen!

Keep on being the best,

Dr. Pamela Ellis, MBA, PhD
