About Mark
I'm Mark Moody, an educator and college admissions professional since 1998. I've worked independently with students around the globe since 2022, when I also co-founded the Solstice College Counseling Network along with other expert, student-centered counselors with significant admission and education experience.
Who is a good fit to work with me?
-
Students:
-
at public, independent, and international schools who are engaged in their learning.
-
living in the U.S. or abroad, including expat and globally mobile families.
-
who are open-minded and willing to assess themselves honestly, to research college experiences, guided by data and evidence, and to question their pre-conceptions and others' opinions.
-
who are willing to build some proactive executive skills: scheduling meetings, arriving ready to move things forward, and doing meaningful work between sessions. I’m a friendly coach, guide, and cheerleader—not an executive function coach or therapist—and I'll help in any way I can, but I can’t make a disengaged student show up for this process before they are ready.

-
Families, parents, guardians:
-
who are looking for a student‑centered, individualized process more than a guarantee of specific outcomes.
-
who want to cut through the noise and clutter that muddy today's college conversations.
-
who support their child’s aspirations (without pressure or preconceived targets), the goal of a good‑fit environment, and who would welcome a calm, informed third party to ease college conversations at home and keep things moving in a healthy way, while respecting your priorities and requirements.
