This workshop will be lead by Educational Consultant, Kathy Hart. Since 2013, Kathy Hart has been an invaluable asset to our educational team at Score At The Top Learning Center and School in Palm Beach Gardens, first serving as an expert teacher and tutor specializing in high school English and test preparation for the ACT and SAT. Expanding into college counseling through JRA Educational Consulting, Kathy successfully guided many of our students through their college application essays. In her vital role as educational consultant, Kathy guides students through the various aspects of the college planning and application process, from consulting on high school course selection and extracurricular activities to preparing students for effective college visits and interviews. That inspirational guidance takes her students through the more subjective elements of the application process, too: developing creative essay ideas, drafting essays, and improving student writing. The end product of the collaboration: applications and essays that make her students stand out! She also regularly attends conferences and visits colleges to stay abreast of the most recent admissions trends.

“We signed up with Score At The Top when my son was in the 11th grade. I wish we had taken Judi and her advisors much earlier on, around 9th or 10th grade. Their advice about signing up for courses, lining up extracurricular activities, preparing a résumé, writing essays, and filling out college application was invaluable. During the application period, there were times when we received responses within 15-20 minutes, even around midnight.”
