About Us

Mission Statement

 Our mission is to provide expert, personalized guidance to students (and their families) in navigating college and graduate school admissions. Leveraging extensive experience in academic instruction and advising, we help students articulate their unique strengths and goals, guiding them through the application and essay-writing process with a focus on clarity, depth, and authenticity. While we cannot guarantee admission to specific schools, we are committed to helping students on their journey to college and graduate school, fostering the skills, confidence, and self-awareness essential for success in their college and/or graduate school careers. 


Sue Lewak, Ph.D., IEC

Sue Lewak is Director of Programs at the John Hughes Institute, and an educational consultant (IEC) for JHI Pathways, where she brings over two decades of teaching, leadership, and administrative experience in higher education. Honored with multiple awards for her teaching, Sue has taught a wide range of undergraduate courses in literature and film, and has held a number of roles in higher ed administration, including three years as a a “College Academic Mentor (CAM)” or Academic Advisor, with UCLA’s College Academic Counseling unit. As a CAM, she provided tailored academic guidance on course and major selection, as well as post-graduate opportunities to undergraduates. As an educational consultant, Sue draws on this foundation to mentor high school students, college students, and adult learners as they navigate admissions, writing, major selection, graduate planning, and career transitions.


Sue has a Ph.D. in English Literature from the Department of English at UCLA,  a Certificate in Independent Educational Consulting from UC Irvine, and is also a a member of the IECA and WACAC.

Our Philosophy

According to the IECA:
"
an IEC doesn't get you admitted—they help you to demonstrate why you deserve to be admitted."


Just like a sports coach prepares athletes to be competitive enough to win,  we equip our students with the skills and confidence they need to be competitive in the process, rather than guaranteeing admission to a specific school.
