The Freshman 16

Aronovitch Coaching Experience

I absolutely love this time of year. My facebook feed is filled with images of parents dropping their kids off at college for the first time. The posts are exciting, nostalgic, and heartfelt. But there’s often a tinge of worry...“What if…”

  • -“What if balancing school and social life is too much?”

  • -“What if they get homesick?”

  • -“What if they don’t do their work without me nagging them?”

  • -“What if they don’t figure out what they want to do with their lives, and they ring up a huge bill taking classes that don’t move them forward?”

  • -“What if they bite off more than they can chew and they “fail” ?”

"In 16 years of helping over 1950 teens get into the colleges of their dreams, my students and their parents have often kept in touch. I’ve seen it all. I’ve seen what works, and I’ve seen what doesn’t. I’ve learned as much from my students as I’ve taught them."
- Josh Aronovitch, CEO Aronovitch Coaching

Find support when you need it most

Kids need community, support, and accountability. They’re often at a stage where they don’t listen to their parents, so they need a trusted advisor who can help them get the most out of the college experience.

You have unlocked your potential

I’ve realized there’s a huge missing piece to help kids that are becoming young adults to truly thrive in this vital and challenging transition. You did the hard part. You've already gotten through High School and into college.
You don't need to struggle. We're here to help!
