Services

Scholarship. Mentorship. Results.

At Frances Advisors, our services are rooted in the Oxford tutorial model: one-on-one, dialogue-driven mentorship that treats students as scholars in formation. Each offering is designed to cultivate intellectual depth, sharpen academic skills, and prepare students to succeed both in the college admissions process and in the classroom beyond it.

What We Offer

AP Test Support

Our AP preparation goes far beyond memorization. We emphasize mastery of concepts, clarity of analysis, and precision of expression so students not only excel on exams but also gain skills that carry into college-level work.

SAT/ACT Support

We teach more than test-taking tricks. Our method equips students to think critically under pressure, approach problems with confidence, and achieve scores that reflect true intellectual readiness.

Humanities Course Support

From Latin to political theory, rhetoric to history, our humanities tutorials mirror the Oxford style: rigorous, discussion-based, and deeply personalized. Students learn to write with clarity, argue with conviction, and engage with ideas at the highest level.

Pre-College Application Support

A four-year mentorship that grows with the student:

  • 9th Grade: Building foundations of scholarship and habits of thought.

  • 10th Grade: Cultivating intellectual passions and extracurricular depth.

  • 11th Grade: Developing a strategic profile, essay foundations, and application focus.

  • 12th Grade: Crafting applications and essays of clarity, authenticity, and distinction.

Essay Tutoring

Our essay process is guided by the belief that every student has a story worth telling. We help students brainstorm, structure, and refine essays that reflect their authentic voices while meeting the highest standards of style, narrative, and argument.

Academic Coaching

For students seeking ongoing mentorship, our academic coaching offers consistent support across subjects. We help students build discipline, confidence, and intellectual independence, ensuring they not only succeed in school but develop the skills of lifelong learners.

Tailored Packages

Every family’s needs are unique. Frances Advisors offers flexible packages ranging from single consultations to multi-year mentorship. Together, we’ll create a plan that fits your student’s goals and provides the level of support that’s right for them.
