Real Families...  Real Results.

"Taking the Birkman was very intriguing for me. I learned a lot about my learning style, my strengths, and careers that i wouldn't have thought about else wise. Mrs. Peltola did a fantastic job of making our sessions personal and tailored to my interests and was very knowledgeable in interpreting the test results. Not only I get my results back in my second session with her, bus she also took time to reflect on what the Birkman identified and how to apply it to my life, college, and my future career. I really felt like Mrs. Peltola went the extra mine to get to know me and make the Birkman more than just a test."

​"Vicki Beam of Michigan College Planning helped our family navigate college admissions, FAFSA, and scholarships. Her advice has been invaluable!  Our daughters received more award money for college than we ever could have hoped to get on our own!"

​"Thank goodness for Vicki!!! She's helped us through all the processes with both of my     daughters. Could've have done it without you Vicki! What a lifesaver stress eliminator. So glad I found you."

"Your advice was instrumental in pursuing the very time consuming endeavor of applying for scholarships but what a return!"

​"When we started college planning for my oldest son, I did a lot of research and I felt that I was very prepared to work through the process but boy was I wrong! Thank goodness I went to meet with Vicki. They were extremely helpful in navigating everything from the college search to financial aid. My son started college this fall in the absolute best possible position, thanks to Vicki's exceptional advice. I highly recommend Michigan College Planning. I discovered that it is never too early to begin planning!"

​Summer was so pleasant on the phone. 
Vicki is so like-able and knowledgeable. She is just what I need, but had no idea this service was out there.
