The lead educational consultant, Lauren Kahn, has been involved with providing college counseling and tutoring services for adolescents since 2001. Lone Star Ed Consulting specializes in the area of college advisement, post-secondary transitional options, study abroad placement, study skills, local/boarding, and special needs placements (LD/ADHD). Our clients particularly value the personal service, reliability,  and commitment we provide in finding the best school fit for each student. Lone Star Ed Consulting is based out of Austin, but can work with clients throughout Texas, excluding the Houston metropolitan area.

If you would like to learn more about the services that educational consultants can provide, please visit the Independent Educational Consultants Association, IECA.

Also, I encourage parents to gain self-awareness about the college process by reading books reviewed favorably on IECA and NACAC websites.  A recent book on the college process that I would recommend is College Choices: The Economics of Where to Go, When to Go, and How to Pay for It (National Bureau of Economic Research Conference Report) (Hardcover)
