Helping Families Navigate College Planning with Confidence

Meet James Kiger – Your Family’s Trusted College Planning Coach

With years of experience in education and college consulting, I understand the challenges that busy families face when navigating the college journey. You want your teen to have great options, but between demanding careers, extracurricular activities, and everyday life, finding the time to research schools, plan campus visits, and understand financial aid can feel overwhelming.

That’s why I created a structured, no-stress approach to college planning—one that ensures families like yours have a clear roadmap without spending endless hours piecing everything together alone.

Who I Help

I work with dedicated, busy families who want their teens to have a clear path to college success.

Families like:

📌 The Hendersons: Mark and Sarah both work full-time and juggle their son’s soccer schedule and their daughter’s theatre rehearsals. Their son, Ethan, is a junior who knows he wants to go to college but isn’t sure where to start. Their daughter, Olivia, is a freshman, and they want to make sure she’s on the right track early. Mark and Sarah don’t have hours to spend researching colleges or trying to figure out scholarship opportunities—they want an expert to simplify the process and ensure their kids are set up for success.
