Meet Your College Counselor

Mathew Coles, M.S.Ed.

For more than eight years, I have worked in education, helping students navigate important academic and career decisions. I hold a Master's degree in School Counseling and have worked at all levels of the college application process, including as a teacher, school counselor, medical school admissions professional, and nonprofit college counselor.

Through these experiences, I have seen firsthand how overwhelming the college process can be, not just for students but for parents too. From building a balanced college list and writing essays to completing applications, navigating financial aid, and managing deadlines, it can all feel overwhelming.

These experiences inspired me to create College Squared.

My goal is simple: make expert college guidance more accessible, organized, and manageable. College Squared combines professional guidance, practical tools, and structured support at a significantly lower investment than traditional private college counseling.

Whether you are just beginning high school or already navigating applications, College Squared provides a clear path from where you are today to where you want to go.

Multiplying your potential at a fraction of the cost.
