I am Kari Withers (she, her, hers) and I currently live in Vietnam with my husband while our daughters are attending universities in the USA.  I have been working in education for 27 years as an English teacher and as a University Counselor in Oregon, USA as well as in international schools in China and Vietnam. 

 

I am one of those people who think teenagers are really enjoyable because they have a unique way of looking at the world and can find humor in many things.  Each student has unique experiences and I love helping them reflect upon their personal stories and craft an application to highlight exactly what universities need to know in order to really get to know them as people.  My students see me as a guide, a listener, and an unabashed cheerleader through the application process.

"Kari provided both the emotional support and the detailed knowledge that my daughter needed during the college application process. It was our first time as parents helping a child apply to college and we would have found it very difficult to navigate without Kari's guidance. She never made us feel like she was too busy to talk. She welcomed our questions and always had my daughter's best interest at heart. She even set up an opportunity for a mock college interview to help my daughter and her classmates get feedback and develop their interview skills. As a result, my daughter walked into her Harvard interview feeling confident."

"Kari was able to assist us as a multinational family, living overseas, and as teacher parents. While my husband and I have supported other students, assisting our own child was very different. Kari was able to weave through all the emotions and guided our daughter to actually take action and celebrate her successes and final decisions. She received offers and was accepted at her first choice. But more importantly, she accomplished the next step of her learning journey. We are very grateful for Kari’s investment in our daughter’s future"
