How We Do What We Do

Hiring Only The Best

We only want the best tutors representing us, therefore our tutors go through a careful vetting and training process before they can work with our students. We keep our standards high so we can continue delivering quality education.

Counselor Match Guarantee

If you decide your counselor isn’t a good match for you, just let us know after your first session. We’ll credit that session back to you and start you over with a new and better matched counselor for your needs.

Thematic Approach

The way we approach college admissions is the result of over 40 years of experience. We have cemented this knowledge into a thematic approach that we are confident colleges look for. Did you know 96% of Livius Prep students get into 1 of their top 3 college choices?

Customized Path to College Success

At Livius Prep, every student’s college journey begins with a conversation. One of our experienced Academic Directors will meet with you in a personal counseling session to understand your student, your family’s goals, and the unique strengths they bring to the application process. From there, we’ll recommend the most effective college counseling program and ensure the best counselor match for your student’s personality, ambitions, and needs. Our Academic Directors are here to answer your questions and guide you toward the right plan with confidence.

Step 1: College Planning Consultation

Our Academic Directors take the time to learn about your student’s academic background, interests, and college aspirations. This allows us to develop a personalized counseling plan tailored to their goals.

Our College Readiness Review identifies your student’s strengths, highlights areas for growth, and clarifies what they need to stand out in the admissions process. This insight becomes the roadmap for success, helping us build a customized plan that supports your student at every stage.

We guide students through every stage of the application and essay process—from developing a compelling personal narrative to drafting, refining, and polishing their essays. Our support ensures students stay organized, confident, and intentional as they complete their applications and present their strongest possible story to each college.
