The Bilingual College Counselor Families Trust to Get It Right
Sarah Jimenez has guided over 500 families across all 50 states and Puerto Rico through strategic college planning for 15+ years. Based in Doral, FL, she provides bilingual (English/Spanish) expert guidance through personalized, contract-free sessions, helping students from middle school through 12th grade make informed decisions that open doors instead of closing them.
The Stakes Are Real
One Uninformed Decision Can Close Doors Before They Ever Open
Information Overload Without Direction
Families drown in conflicting advice from guidance counselors, online forums, and well-meaning relatives, but no one is giving them a strategic roadmap specific to their student's unique profile and goals.
Generic Guidance That Misses the Mark
School counselors manage 400+ students and can't provide individualized strategy. Cookie-cutter advice ignores your student's strengths, challenges, language needs, and financial reality.
Year-Long Contracts Built for Agency Revenue, Not Student Outcomes
Traditional college counseling firms sell year-long packages padded with generic check-ins and deliverables most families don't need. The result is either overpaying for services that don't apply to your student—or going without expert guidance entirely because the entry price is out of reach.
What families actually need is a final authority layer—an expert who reviews the full picture, identifies what's missing or misaligned, and delivers a clear plan forward. One focused session. No contracts. No guesswork. No year of paying for services you won't use.
Strategic Guidance by Grade Level
When you submit the intake form, Sarah reviews your student's grade and exactly where they are in the school year to determine the right session for them. You don't need to figure that out—you're the first thing we take off your plate.
Not sure which session your student needs?
You don't have to decide. When you complete the intake form, Sarah matches your student to the right session based on their current grade and where they are in the school year. If your student is between grades or heading into a new one this summer, we factor that in too.

- Create a strategic 4-year roadmap so high school isn't reactive - it's intentional
9th Grade
$250- Select the right courses and rigor level to build a strong transcript without overwhelming your student

$350- Adjust course selection strategically based on 9th grade performance and evolving goals

- Develop a strategic SAT/ACT testing timeline and preparation plan based on your student's strengths
- Strengthen extracurricular impact with leadership, awards, and documented outcomes
- Position your student as a competitive applicant for their target universities
12th Grade
$550- Analyze acceptance letters and financial aid packages side-by-side to understand what you're actually being offered

How It Works
Pre-Session Strategic Review
Submit your student's academic profile, goals, and specific questions before the session. Sarah reviews everything in advance so your 60 minutes together are focused and actionable, not spent gathering basic information.
60-Minute Expert Consultation
A private, one-on-one virtual session (via Zoom) where Sarah provides strategic guidance tailored to your student's exact situation. Available in English or Spanish. No generic advice - only direction specific to your family.
Written Action Plan Delivered
After the session, you receive a detailed written summary with clear, prioritized next steps. You'll know exactly what to do, when to do it, and why it matters, so you can move forward with confidence.
If You Selected an Add-On
Add-ons (Common Application Review or Supplemental Essay Feedback) are completed after your session. Submit your materials within 48 hours of the session, and Sarah will return detailed written feedback within 3-5 business days so you can revise and submit with confidence.
