Because college isn't the end goal!
Prepare your teen for their career path...
as well as college
or trade school
...while saving time, money, and peace of mind!
If you’re a parent looking for help getting your teen prepared for college (or maybe a non-college path) while still keeping the peace at home then you already know that there are a ton of decisions and options ahead.
You want to see your child succeed after high-school. You have researched and talked with friends, but there is so much conflicting college prep advice. Which exams should your high-school student take? When should they start preparing? Do you need to sign up for dual enrollment or AP tests? And how can you start preparing for college if your teen doesn't even know what he or she wants to do? What if they want to pursue a career path you don't know anything about? What then? If this sounds familiar then you are in the right place!
With the UniversityReady consulting program
you will have…
-
Personalized, targeted direction for your teen's career path
Our consulting package starts with personality and strengths tests so we can customize to your teen's unique scenario, because one size doesn't fit all. We'll even create a custom calendar with the topics and deadlines that we think are most applicable for your situation. -
Peace of mind for you and your teen
Matthew worked for years selling advertising to college admissions departments, and knows what colleges are looking for when it comes to recruiting (and even more importantly, we talk regularly with career professionals about what is being looked for in your industry). -
One-on-one help
After completing the personality and strengths tests, our starter package includes a one-hour, one-on-one meeting with Matthew to discuss where you are now, and formulate plans for the next year. -
Reduced stress at home
Today there are SO many different college prep tools. Your teen doesn't need to do it all (in fact, I strongly discourage it). I'll give you the resources to understand the different tests and tools out there, but then give you the even more important knowledge of how to determine which tools are right for your situation. -
LIVE help available for you EVERY WEEK
I'm here for you! You can jump on our LIVE weekly planning videos every Monday at 4:30 CT (or catch the recordings in our membership site), plus can submit an email to Matthew at any time and he'll send you access to a video answer!
"My heart is to help guide teens and their family towards a career-centered approach to college (or trade school) in a way that is intentional, engaging, affordable, and stress-free."

What’s Included with the UniversityReady
Consulting Package:
We have broken our resources down to correspond with 4 separate phases of high-school and career prep. You get LIVE access to Matthew every Monday at 4:30 CT to address the topics relevant to your stage in career preparation, and to ask him ANY questions that are on your mind!
Phase 1 (Approximately 9th Grade)
FOCUS: Academic Support and Study Skills Training
Starting in 9th grade students are encouraged to lay a strong foundation academically. If students don't know how to stay on top of their academics then the stress is going to skyrocket when trying to juggle coursework with testing and applications, so we recommend students to first focus on building their academic skillset.
Phase 1 Resources:
The first Monday of each month we have a LIVE webinar on Mondays at 4:30 CT to provide you with resources, tips and action plans on how to not just get by in your high school courses, but to thrive! Topics we cover include:
- Record keeping, planning and organization in high school.
- Dealing with learning struggles and test anxiety.
- Subject-specific resources and tips for math, English, science, social studies, foreign language, fine arts, technology and more.
Phase 2 (Approximately 10th Grade)
FOCUS: Exploring Career Paths
Once you have a solid academic foundation built, exploring career paths comes next! Many times people jump straight into the college prep tools-ACT, SAT, dual enrollment, AP and CLEP tests. The problem with this approach is that each of those options is a specialized tool that makes sense for some routes, but not for others, so we've structured our approach to be career-centric. We start with personality testing before our first meeting, focus on exploring possible career paths, and then use insight from career professionals to determine which tools/route make the most sense for you.
Phase 2 Resources:
The second Monday of each month we have a LIVE webinar on Mondays at 4:30 CT to provide you with resources, tips and action plans on how to deeply explore potential career paths. Topics we cover include:
- Personality and strength testing to identify potential career paths.
- Detailed steps to help you locate professionals in the career you're considering and get their input on the best route for you.
- Action plans for non-college routes including trade school and entrepreneurship.
Phase 3 (Approximately 11th Grade)
FOCUS: The Exams and Other Tools You Need for Your Route
From the alphabet soup of standardized exams (ACT, SAT, PSAT, PreACT, AP, CLEP, CLT, DSST, ECE/uEXCEL, and others) to extracurricular activities, associates degrees, accelerated programs, and dual enrollment, this phase concentrates on putting the right tools together to get you where you want to go!
Phase 3 Resources:
The third Monday of each month we have a LIVE webinar at 4:30 CT to detail each test and tool, giving you the exact criteria to determine if it makes sense or not for your teen, and if so an action plan for you going forward. Topics we cover include:
- Choosing and preparing for the right entrance exam: ACT, SAT or CLT.
- Colleges that are test optional and alternatives to taking standardized exams.
- Earning college credit early using AP, CLEP tests or dual enrollment.
Phase 4 (Approximately 12th Grade)
FOCUS: The Application Process
It's time to launch your plans into action! In the Application Process Phase we will focus on the steps to successfully, confidently apply to college, trade school, or a job (whichever matches your route best). We'll help you keep track of deadlines, get the most scholarships, equip you with the criteria to make the best decisions, and motivate you to follow through on the plans we've been working to build over the past four years.
Phase 4 Resources:
The fourth Monday of each month we have a LIVE webinar at 4:30 CT to detail each test and tool, giving you the exact criteria to determine if it makes sense or not for your teen, and if so an action plan for you going forward. Topics we cover include:
- Planning out your senior year
- Understanding the stages of the application process (whether for college or trade school)
- How to secure financing for college
When you enroll during this special, limited time period,
you’ll get:
Our UniversityReady Starter Consulting Package

-
Resources for All 4 Phases of HIgh School
We provide a concise, focused plan for each grade of high school that allows you to know what you need to focus on (and what you can let go of).
-
A Career-Centered Plan for High School
Unlike most resources that just focus on how to get into college, we are career-centered in our approach, even if that means trade school or entering straight into the workforce. -
Simplification Is Our Goal
Having your teen burn out while trying to do it all is antithetical to our career-centered approach. Students need margin to be able to truly explore career paths, so we work with you to help identify what college/career prep tools make sense for your specific route, and which ones you can pass on. -
Peace of Mind, Clear Direction for Your Teen, All with Margin for Your Family!
We provide big-picture guidance and weekly support so you can approach college and career preparation for your teen with confidence, knowing how and when to schedule the crucial steps for your teen's specific route (and know which tools you can say "no" to).
