TESTIMONIALS

Our family is very thankful for Robert's patient, expert guidance for our son in his college journey. Robert helped our son find direction both with his intended major and in colleges that would fit his personality, interests and major.

Robert also helped our son through the challenges of essay writing and the process of completing and submitting all the applications. He guided us through to the very end, even discussing our son's top choices and helping us make the right decision. We were so impressed with Robert and his team that our daughter is in the process with Robert now and we are excited to see where she'll go to college in the fall of 2022.

Robert was fantastic from day one! He has a well-thought out plan that helps students get through the entire process of finding colleges that fit, writing essays, managing timelines, applying for financial aid, and making a final college selection. Robert is knowledgeable about the entire process and is available for questions throughout. His service is not just a support to the student, but to the parents as well.

Having Robert manage our son’s progress and keep him on track, meant far less tension for our family. This was our first time going through the college application process and we would never have been able to navigate our way through it without Robert’s assistance. His services are worth every penny! We are so happy we made the choice to work with College Torch and we are guaranteed to be repeat customers when our second son applies to college.
