Optima Educational College Planning & Coaching 203 West Carnaby Court, Cary, NC 27513

"Abby Bitler was very helpful in explaining how a scholarship application should submitted. She was very beneficial in reminding me of areas that the scholarship committee may be looking for. Overall such a huge help in helping me accomplish the scholarship essay I needed."

"Abby was very detailed and easily laid out everything for me with the limited time we had. She is very kind and helped me a lot with my college essay, college applications and career choices. I would definitely recommend her to anyone struggling with college decisions, or if you just have some general questions. Abby is awesome!"

"Absolutely loved working with Ms. Bittler, she made my senior year super stress free college wise. While my friends were just barely turning in their applications before the deadline I had mine done over two weeks earlier. I was also fortunate enough to have gotten into my top school which I know is very hard and she truly was helpful every step of the way, even when after I was accepted she continued to help with discussing finances and transitioning to college."

"Abby was extremely professional yet down to earth + teenager relatable. Her knowledge of the college application process + all that goes along with it was enlightening + definitely made our load feel lighter. She was great with my daughter, making sure she was checking in with her, listening to her ideas + getting her take on things. She gave us both wise options + advice + even gave hands on assistance in setting her up on her computer. Can’t say enough how thankful we are to have her on our team!"

"Abby is very knowledgeable about the college planning process. She helped us to understand what steps my daughter needs to be taking now and in the future to get college ready. It was also helpful to know how to determine if a college is a good fit. Before meeting with Abby, we felt very overwhelmed as this is our first daughter attending college. Thank you Abby for helping us understand the process and making it much more manageable!!"
