"We are very grateful for the outstanding service provided by Optimum Ed and Tom Leahy. At the start of our college search, we were feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about the right direction, compounded by the realization that a wrong decision could entail significant costs. However, once our daughter, Allison, took the assessment test offered by Optimum Ed, it played a pivotal role in clarifying her degree and career path, setting everything into motion. This allowed us to narrow our focus to colleges that aligned with her chosen path, providing us with a sense of reassurance throughout the process. Furthermore, the invaluable assistance and advice offered during the application process were instrumental. I highly recommend the services of Optimum Ed, even if your child believes they already have a clear idea of their career path or college preferences."

"We were completely overwhelmed with the college application process. Tom and Candice helped us secure the right college for our daughter. They really focus on what is best for your child. We are confident in our daughter's decision and the investment we are making in her education."

"When it came time to guide our son through the selection and application process, I was immediately overwhelmed and lost. Tom, Candice and the OptimumEd process provided exactly what we needed to allow Colin to work his way through the entire process with expert support and a proven framework for defining his core skills & interests, filtering and researching college/school options, application/essays, financial aid and everything else along the way. His opportunity to explore his options without having to filter parental opinions was a huge value to me. I wanted his next step to be his own and Optimum Ed gave him that opportunity. I highly recommend this service and the expert support of Tom and Candice."

"I had such an excellent experience working with Tom Leahy with my own sons that I recommended his services to all of the parents and other school colleagues that I knew. We now have OptimumEd working with each one of our juniors and seniors this fall. Every parent should have the positive experience with their child than I did working with OptimumEd. Additionally, Tom worked so well with our son after high school, after two years of college, to find a direction and a career pathway that he is excited about. This organization works with students of all ages - middle school, high school, and college - to help them find meaning and direction."

"I can't say enough about the personalized attention that Tom has given to us and our daughter. While she has a tremendous guidance counselor at her high school, it does not compare to the service that Tom and Optimum Ed are able to provide. We have been led through the entire process from the evaluation testing to financial aid and now finding scholarship money. Even if Tom had not found any financial aid or scholarship money, just the guidance alone and the fact that he saved me from having to do all all the leg work myself was worth the price of admission. We are forever grateful for his professional guidance and feel confident that our daughter has found not just the right college, but actually the right career path!!"
