College Planning Of Westchester

"My sincere thanks to Neal Schwartz for the amazing work he and his team have done with my grand-daughter.  I spent a lot of hours researching college planning/tutoring services and the one that consistantly came up as the best is College Planning of Westchester.  Now, after more than a year of experiencing Neal's heartwarming diligence, it's very obvious why."

"Neal Schwartz and his team at College Planning of Westchester were nothing short of fantastic! Neal came HIGHLY recommended by our friends whose children he assisted with their college journey. His professionalism and keen knowledge of the exhausting and often overwhelming college application process was apparent from our first meeting with him and we signed with his firm that very same day in the fall of 2022. My son was a HS senior then and we lived in New York, very close to College Planning of Westchester. My son communicated directly with Neal and made his own appointments to meet Neal personally as they worked through essays, etc. My son was admitted to several colleges and made his decision. We were happy my son was set and that the daunting process was finally over. Little did we know that we would soon unexpectedly turn to Neal for our son once again. As our son got more comfortable with the college experience, he made the decision to transfer to a more academically challenging college. "Now what?" we asked ourselves. We had since moved to Florida and were no longer local to College Planning of Westchester. We called Neal and explained the new situation. To our relief, he was fully on board to assist once again, now in the transfer process. He communicated with our son through video meetings while he was at school. The remote sessions worked out extremely well and we just got news this week that my son was accepted to his number one choice and will be transferring for his spring semester. We cannot thank Neal and his team enough for all his guidance. A++++!"

"Neal and his tutors care about their students and teach them to do their best. They are easy to schedule tutoring sessions and give helpful feedback to parents."

"My daughter started working with Neal late August before senior year. Neal is focused and efficient but in a way that doesn’t create additional stress for my daughter. The two hour brainstorm really helped tease out a meaningful essay topic that my daughter could write about authentically. In just 3 weeks, she is in final stages of her essay, has finalized her college list and ED decisions and is moving on to other sections of the common app. Overall a very positive experience for what can be a stressful process."

"I am very happy with the services provided by College Planning of Westchester. Neal was an invaluable resource for my son’s college application process. He patiently walked us through this stressful process. He asked the right questions during the sessions, making my son think over and improve his application. Neal’s essay writing suggestions were outstanding. He helped my son identify his strengths and create a successful college essay. Also, a mock college interview with Lori built my son’s confidence before his college interviews. Lori’s feedback on his answers was very insightful and helped my son improve his interviewing skills. Neal is clearly passionate about helping students along their journey to college. My son got into his top-choice school!"
