"Beth has the ideal combination of being an approachable, passionate professional and someone possessing the sincere desire to see those with whom she works succeed. Over the course of the years, I've sought her help on a range of issues from college matters, to career advice, to just questions about life in general, and I have always felt supported. Also, you can always count on her smile, her "can do" attitude, and her lighthearted sense of humor with any interaction."

"Beth was a fantastic resource in my journey to college. Not only is she knowledgeable, hardworking, and professional, but she also has empathy, humor and kindness that goes above and beyond what I ever could have expected. Beth cares about her students from academic and personal perspectives, and I am so grateful for all of her help. She played a big part in helping me find my way!"

"Beth was so helpful and great to work with. She was always on top of things when critiquing my essays, guided me in selecting my classes for senior year and gave me useful advice as to which standardized tests to take in order to enhance my college application. She helped me pinpoint the most crucial and elemental parts of my life that would be interesting for me to write about in my college essays, which would express who I am and help my application stand out from the thousands of other applications. With her assistance, I understood the most important parts of a college application that I needed to focus on. After working with Beth, I became more confident with my college applications. I cannot thank her enough for helping me get into my dream school and will continue to appreciate and not forget her hard work and dedication."

"I can’t begin to describe how instrumental Beth was in helping me obtain a position that will allow me to realize my full professional potential. After being contacted by a talent acquisition professional, I was tasked with quickly updating a very out-of-date résumé and preparing for interviews. Beth’s guidance ensured that my résumé demonstrated my strengths and aligned my past professional experience with the responsibilities of the position I was seeking. Her honest feedback and expertise in interview preparation empowered me to succeed through four rounds of interviews, and receive an offer for the position!"

"I live in Manhattan. My wife teaches at Stuyvesant High School and my daughter attends Bronx Science – two demanding schools with rich college counseling resources.  But the best help we received during the application process was from Beth Kainic. Why? Data and information about college is plentiful, but empathy and understanding are rarities. Beth listened to us and to our daughter and gave us stellar advice about which colleges to apply to and what facets of my daughter’s high school accomplishments would shine brightest in the applications. She is a professional with deep understanding of the admission process. She is also a people person who really understands how to talk to teenagers and how to listen."

"Beth was extremely helpful with my Common Application essay. She offered me great insight as to what was relevant to and what detracted from my writing. Her suggestions and constructive criticism were outstanding and undeniably played a substantial role in the overall effectiveness of my final essays and admissions decisions."

"I will always associate my success at Tufts with Beth Kainic. I was in need of counseling on a multitude of academic, social, and personal levels. Beth provided me with the resources and unwavering support that ultimately empowered me to work toward opportunities I had thought unreachable. My first year of college was a difficult transition. However, it was Beth who emailed, called, and visited both myself and my family to advocate for my success even before I knew it was possible. As I near the end of my successful undergraduate career at Tufts, I am forever grateful for Beth's positive impact on my life."

"Beth provided incredible insight into the process of writing my college application essays. Through her helpful guidance I was able to fully and clearly express “who I am” with my writing. Beth’s dedication to seeing me through the process and her comprehension of the intricacies involved were invaluable."

"Beth was an outstanding resource for my son while he was preparing for job interviews. She met with him to give him suggestions, ideas and inspiration. She even provided opportunities to role-play, which really helped to alleviate his nervousness about the interview process. When he had upcoming phone interviews, she practiced with him over the phone in advance so as to replicate the process. After each one, she offered meaningful ideas for improvement. His confidence level raised dramatically and he landed a great job! I cannot thank her enough."

"I applied to a number of schools and thus had many essays to complete. I was concerned because I had never considered the type of writing required for college applications. I started working on my own, but my essays were not where I wanted them to be. My aunt suggested that I contact Beth, because she works with many area high school students who are applying to college. Beth was more than happy to set aside some time to work with me. She saw that I was freaking out and calmed me down! We then worked through my essays, word-by-word, until I felt that they were ready. I do not think I would have achieved such success of getting into all of my schools without Beth. She was beyond patient and I appreciated every minute of her help."

"I don’t think that students realize how the writing required for the college application process is unique and critically important. Beth helped me to find ways of expressing who I am: my experiences, my priorities, and my connections with others, through the written word. I don’t believe that I would have come up with something so “me” without Beth’s guidance."

"Beth helped with my college process in every possible way, with essays, strategy, and preparing for interviews, but more than that made me feel confident about who I am and my ability to show my strengths in my application.  She not only provided excellent guidance, but helped me realize and clarify my own goals when I felt that conflicting advice was being thrown at me from every direction.  Even though we live several states apart and communicated by phone, Skype and email, Beth was there to answer any of my questions and provide constant assistance."

"Beth Kainic was instrumental in the college application process for my children, who attended the fifth highest ranked high school in Illinois. The high school offered excellent academics and extracurricular opportunities. That said, even a high performing high school may not be able to provide the type of personalized assistance with the college application process that many students need. In particular, writing personal statements and other application essays can be challenging for students and are often critical in determining admissions outcomes. Beth adeptly filled the void in this regard and provided my children with the necessary suggestions and invaluable guidance throughout their process."

"As a result of Beth’s guidance, I was able to write my essays with great clarity and precision. She provided me with substantial insight that allowed me to prepare essays that were in my voice. She seemed to know what was superfluous and what was important in my writing. Her insights were invaluable and I cannot imagine having done this without her."

"Beth understands that every student is unique and has a story that needs to be told. With years of experience working on both sides of the college admissions process, she has a wealth of knowledge on guiding these students to obtain acceptance to some of the nation’s top colleges and universities. She is a true asset to our profession."

"I fully believe that my college application essays were a deciding factor in being accepted to all of my top colleges. The process of finding a topic that captured who I am was difficult, but well worth the effort. My work with Beth made a tremendous impact on my applications as well as how I now think about writing."

"Beth worked with me through my college search while I was in high school. We've kept in touch throughout my time in college, and I reach out to her whenever I have a job interview or need any career advice. Through all of the uncertainty and doubt that I feel, Beth has a way of restoring my confidence. She has helped me prepare for many successful interviews as she has pushed me to discover my strengths. Beth offers an incredible amount of support for which I am forever thankful."

"Beth is a very dedicated and thoughtful individual. Her dedication and passion are clearly demonstrated when she works with her students; she listens intently, has thoughtful and meaningful advice and she is always willing to research information if she doesn't know the answer to our questions. I am grateful to have had Beth's help in my college search."

"Beth is 100% amazing… Her professionalism, resourcefulness, accessibility, and open-mindedness made the college application process easy and seamless for my son. Beth’s insight and ability to provide the perfect balance of advice and feedback not only built my son’s confidence, but helped him understand his goals and strengths, while providing the key skills necessary for successful application preparation. As Beth was vital to my son’s success, she has been among the first people he has contacted upon receiving positive college news!"
