Want to reach your full potential?

I can help. I offer affordable, one-on-one mentoring aimed at helping you reach your educational goals.

What I Do:

Meeting of the Minds specializes in academic coaching, job search preparation, and college/grad school admissions consulting. Students work one-on-one with me, Greg VanHoosier-Carey, Ph.D.

Before starting this company, I was a college professor for 20 years. During that time, I helped hundreds of college students succeed in school and prepare for life after graduation. I also worked in many different roles in the admissions/scholarship granting process for both college and graduate students.

Working with me is like having your own personal professor, advisor, and study partner all in one. You will find me easy to work with and capable of using my knowledge and experience to address your individual needs.
