A mother explains how Athena Mentor's personalized guidance helped her son

非常幸运，我儿子在申请大学时遇到了他的申请辅导老师Marlena. Marlena 独具慧眼，善于发现孩子的特点。她不会像其他辅导老师那样，用一个固定的模式，一个框框去要求孩子该怎么做，而是真正地做到了“一对一”，“个性化”。我儿子从一开始的迷茫，到最后坚定的确定了专业和梦校，都离不开Marlena 的指导与点拨。更可贵的是，Marlena 不只是教他怎样申请大学，还教他怎样做人，做事。所以，Marlena 不仅仅是我儿子的申请辅导老师，更是他的人生导师。

My son is very fortunate to have met his college application counselor, Marlena. Marlena has a very discerning eye: she is good at discovering the characteristics of children. She is not like other counselors, not using a fixed system or box to set requirements for kids on what to do. She truly achieves "one-to-one" and "personalization." My son changed from confusion in the beginning, to the final determination of his major and ending with his acceptance at his dream school; this is inseparable from Marlena's guidance and advice. What's more valuable is that Marlena not only taught him how to apply for college, but also taught him how to be a person, how to do things. Therefore, Marlena is not just my son's application counselor, but also his advisor in life.
