We've helped hundreds of students earn admission — and millions in scholarships — to the nation's top conservatories and BFA programs. Your journey starts with one conversation.

The coaching was amazing! It was professional and fun. We laughed and it made the entire process fly by with zero stress. We also created my list and completed common applications quickly and efficiently.
CJ's college coaching was an extremely useful tool in helping me reach my dream school. He streamlined the process in a very simple yet effective spreadsheet that showed me what I needed to do and when I needed to do it by. We built a brand, and a comprehensive list of which schools would be good for my requirements. Because of this, I was able to get most of my acceptances by January and committed by March. I would 100% recommend for anyone interested in doing any form of performance in college.
CJ fosters an environment that allows his students the comfort and support to grow as students, performers, and most importantly people.

Absolutely. All sessions can be done virtually via Google Meet, and we have students from across the country and even internationally. Location is never a barrier.
