Testimonials

A Lifesaver for Our Family— E. Howell, MBA, Former Client
My family has worked with Todd Fothergill multiple times over the years; my older sister and brother and I all went to him for his services in selecting a college. I cannot say enough good things about Todd. He is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy and personable when it came to his work – you can tell he really loves what he does and enjoys helping you in any way he possibly can. He has now become a lifelong family friend and we all hold him in the highest possible regard on a personal and professional level.
Thanks Kristin!— Shannon, January 2025
It was wonderful having Liam accepted to several schools before the holidays, giving us a chance to breathe a bit. The merit scholarships were a great, wonderful surprise. I am really excited for him. Thank you for all of your efforts. You made this process so transparent and seamless for us! I am happy to give you a referral to anyone I know!
Professional and Accommodating— Michael, February 2025
I have used Todd Weaver from Strategies For College for the past 6 years and he has been a tremendous help with both my children with regard to college planning. He is always accommodating and professional. I recommend him to many friends and acquaintances.
Fantastic Help with College Essays— Nicolas, May 2023
Todd and his team are very easy to work with. The summer writing program is fantastic and I can attest that my 3 sons all benefitted from it and it was a huge reason for them getting their first choices for college. More importantly they did not complain and were able to see the benefit and improvement in their ability to write structured responses. Reasonably priced and no high pressure.
Stress Free— Teresa, September 2022
Strategies For College provided excellent services to our daughter during her college search. The team at SFC was very patient with her and assisted with all the choices that had to be done, from essay writing to finalizing the college list. The webinars provided by SFC were very timely and well organized. SFC took the stress out of choosing a college and I recommend them to many parents.
