It’s never too early to plan for college.

The first step for students in grades 6-12 is the Initial Consultation (IC), where experts assess strengths, areas for improvement, and college goals. Families leave with a list of colleges, extracurriculars, and a roadmap through 12th grade. Students can then move on to our Academic Planning and Resume Program (APRP) and APRP Checkup to build an outstanding resume of opportunities: grades, course rigor, test scores, leadership, and service. 

SHOW TIME: College Applications.

Are you ready or do you want to hide your face under a blanket? Either way, we are here for you. Our two College Admissions Coaching Packages – All-Inclusive and Elite Applicant – provide comprehensive support and guidance throughout this intricate and competitive process. We help students be fully prepared and strategically positioned for success with a strong college search, attractive resume, College Selection Decision Matrix, and a personalized Merit Aid Prospectus to ferret out scholarships.

Julia Ross Professional Tutoring has been a fantastic support for our child. Their qualified teachers personalize tutoring, SAT prep, and college coaching far more than other services we considered.

- A.H.

Highly recommend Julia Ross and the staff at Professional Tutoring! My son struggled with organization, planning, and study skills, and his grades didn’t reflect his effort. Professional Tutoring’s expertise, personalized attention, and understanding of FCPS schools have been life-changing. His motivation and grades have improved, and we’re now confident in college prep!

- T.M.

I’m very pleased with Professional Tutoring. From the owner to the staff, their genuine desire to help students is evident. My son sought help for AP Pre-Calculus, SAT/ACT prep, and college selection. Their data-driven approach and excellent customer service, especially during his illness, impressed us. Highly recommend!

- H.F.

Many students in this year’s cohort have an older sibling who was a previous client. Having so many returning families — mine included — is a testament to the invaluable services that Julia and her team provide.

- K.K.

Thank you to Julia Ross and her team for guiding my two daughters through the college application process. From SAT prep to application strategy and essay support, they made my daughters feel confident and prepared. The team helped highlight unique qualifications, refine essays, and stay on track with deadlines. They offered valuable insights into college preferences, selection, and scholarship opportunities. We especially appreciated their flexibility in accommodating last-minute essay revisions, even with evening and weekend availability. Julia was always there to answer any questions. As a result, my daughters received acceptances and scholarships to their top schools.

Professional Tutoring is the BEST thing that has EVER happened to our family! Seriously, I think they keep our family together!! Out of nowhere, when we were attempting to get our son to focus on passing his math class in high school, focusing on applying to the Common App, to passing a physics class in college, Julia and her team appeared like a mirage. High school is tough enough but when your child could care less to hear “stuff from mom and dad”, that’s where PT comes in. They were able to sit our son down and map out his future college goals, one step at a time. The tutors are extremely patient and professional. When it came time for college applications….UGG! A parent’s worst nightmare! PT College Coaching to the rescue! …

… There is a step by step process that walks both the student and the parents through the Common App. They help with essays…YES, ESSAYS! If it wasn’t for finding PT, we would not have known about applying to Michigan State University!!! GO GREEN!  Since entering MSU, our son has used Professional Tutoring several times…his physic’s tutor was ON the Appalachian Trail. The tutor would pull off the trail, grab a phone hotspot and tutor our son!!  WHAT??!!  Coolest thing EVER! Our 4th child has been attending PT for 2 years, from tutoring to College Coaching…Again, a lifesaver for parents!  Less stress, less attitude and more smiles! Thank you for EVERYTHING you do PT! DON’T WALK…RUN TO PT!!!
