About Me

Kent A. Thompson, Ed. D. - Principal Advisor

As an independent educational consultant based in Garner, NC, I am available to advise middle school and high school students and their families on all aspects of the college application and admissions process. I help students applying to colleges and universities in the United States and international students interested in coming to the United States for their studies. 

 

Before starting KATalyst Educational Consulting Services (KECS), I worked in education, serving students as a middle school and high school English teacher, mentor and coach, school administrator, and adjunct college professor at several universities and colleges in New Jersey. I am passionate about student success, both academically and socially. 

 

Whether a middle schooler or high school senior, there is always time to start planning for college. Life's challenges often create doubts about skills and abilities. KECS is here to nurture your student's academic, social, and career success goals. 

 

I truly believe in educating the future, today!

 

Let's work together to plan the college application and admissions process.
