Suzanne Shaffer – The Parents Countdown to College Coach 0

For any parent, one of the proudest moments of their lives is when their children graduate from college. Suzanne, ”The Countdown To College Coach” for parents,  never imagined that her children would graduate from top-tiered universities, let alone be able to afford to send them there. She always thought that those colleges were for the rich and famous, or exceptionally gifted. But it happened, and she learned that with the proper preparation, the right tools and positive encouragement, any child can achieve their dream of a college education.For the last ten years Suzanne has been sharing those lessons with other parents. Parents, who, like her, had no idea where to begin on the college journey or how to find the funds to finance that education. She has counseled parents in admissions, scholarships, financial aid, and the importance of early college preparation. All of them began with little or no knowledge and emerged at the end with their teens being accepted to their dream schools and funded to pursue their higher education. 

It’s Suzanne’s goal to share this wealth of knowledge with other parents. As a parent herself, she brings a unique perspective to the table. Having been successful in guiding her children and many others to fulfill their dreams of college educations, she is committed to equipping other parents with the right tools necessary for them to become their own “parent coach”. By utilizing her Parents Countdown to College Toolkit, parents will be confident and prepared to guide their college-bound teen in the pursuit of their college dreams.
