Deirdre Allen Coaching

About Deirdre Allen Coaching

I provide services in two areas: College Admissions Coaching and ADHD/academic coaching. As regards college admissions, I have over 15 years experience helping students apply to college. I can oversee the whole process from picking a slate of schools, to completing applications, to asking for teacher recommendations. I have a particular strength in assisting with the Common App essays, the UC PIQ's, and the varied supplemental essays. I especially love working with ADHD/AuDHD students who are searching to find the ideal place to flourish. My ADHD/academic coaching involves helping high school and college students manage their academic workloads. With subjects like math, science and language, I focus on making sure students keep on top of their assignments, plan to study for tests, and access the help that is available from teachers, professors and the schools they attend. My approach is similar for humanities classes (English, history, social science, etc. . . ). However, with these classes, I have an additional level of expertise in the areas of essay writing and research that allows me to provide an even greater amount of assistance. I am well-versed in providing encouragement and support to both ADHD/AuDHD students. Reach out today!

Reviews

“She helped us develop a list of schools to apply to, helped my son come up with essay ideas, guided him through the writing process, helped him figure out which ECs to include and how to best describe them, and just generally kept him on track through the entire process. She even helped him sort through the acceptances and offers and come to a final decision. My son was accepted to every safety and target school he applied to and most of his reaches, so he ended up with a really wide range of options to choose from. The sheer number of acceptances, including those reaches, really boosted his confidence, which has, in turn, made him a better student and I’m sure will serve him well as he embarks on college. Thanks to Deirdre, I now understand that it is all about choosing the right schools based on the student’s interests and strengths, and her knowledge and insight into what makes my son special gave us the ability to do just that.”
