TESTIMONIAL

"Our experience has been more than 5 stars! She makes herself accessible to her clients and answers questions in a timely manner. It's obvious this is more than a business to her, but she genuinely cares about her clients and the students on their quest to get a college degree.

My daughter never, ever had thought she could or would get a bachelor's degree. Janine spelled out the process for her to not only have the opportunity, but how to make it a pleasurable experience. My daughter's self-esteem has skyrocketed, and that is PRICELESS.

We are not left guessing what courses work, what we need to take, or how to figure it all out. Janine has done all the leg work for us and given support along the way. Her partnership with multiple organizations have given us some backdoor access to discounts, support, and verifications.

We are so happy and are on our path to college degrees in no time! (and for 1/8 of the cost that I paid for sons to go to college)"
