ACADEMIC YEAR CONTRACTS

for families seeking to invest in premium services
The Academic Year Contract is the gold standard for college counseling services and allows Yvonne Espinoza to invest more time in your student through the duration of the contract in order to address all their college counseling needs. Yvonne aims to provide superior, professional, and ethical college consulting, which results in a time intensive process. She does not cut corners when it comes to the college application process, which is why she does not offer less expensive, piecemeal contracts that limit the services she can provide while assisting students. In her 22+ years of experience, providing services at this level of personalization is what Yvonne has found best helps her clients to succeed. 
This option allows her to:
  • Initiate contact with the student to help keep track of deadlines, inform them of new opportunities, or send relevant college information as it becomes available to her.
  • Give parents direct college counseling access on an as-needed basis via text, phone calls, and emails.
  • Personally provide services and personalized them to each family she works with.
​
Each academic contract is includes regular meetings for the contract term and includes all-inclusive phone calls, texts, and emails with students and parents. 

*Please inquire for pricing. Yvonne's academic year contract services cater to families seeking first-rate, comprehensive college counseling from a highly experienced professional. These services are not for families seeking the cheapest option, and the cost reflects the limited caseload, all-inclusive contract structure, the increased amount of time being devoted to each family, as well as the level of expertise of the consultant. Pricing is competitive with other consultants offering the same caliber of services on a national level.  All contracts can be adjusted to begin on a different start date, depending on the circumstances. 
Yvonne Espinoza College Counseling Services only accepts a limited number of Academic Year Contracts per cohort year in order to keep our client list small, and provide a truly all-inclusive experience to our clients. Once contract placements are full, Yvonne will only accept hourly clients. If a client wishes to purchase a multiple year contract, it secures the pricing for those years and also reserves a spot for the student for future academic years.
