Hugo offers a level of customization that is very rare--students can find a mentor in such a wide field of interests (for example...SHARKS). I also know that there is a very human process behind the service; the company is accessible and guides students through in a way that matches the level of service I offer clients. I also appreciate being able to communicate with the team as a college counselor so I am confident that the experience will prove useful in the college application process.

I think the most meaningful aspect of this mentoring experience for me was the relationship I created with [my mentor]. It was an amazing experience because not only was I lucky enough to work with such a smart and determined person, but I was also able to discover something that I loved working through so much.
