Who was more intelligent:

Pablo Picasso or Albert Einstein?

One transformed our view of aesthetics, the other changed our views of physics.

Harvard Professor Howard Gardner in his paradigm changing book Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences argued that intelligence, traditionally thought of as one dimensional, should be considered in a multi-dimensional way. While at Harvard, I was deeply impacted by Gardner’s visionary work.

In all of your education, thus far, have you ever taken a course on how to learn? Students mainly focus on subject content (from English literature to computational chemistry), but rarely do students learn how to learn. Rarely do students learn how their brain and cognitive learning processes actually work.

Today, I am the leading educational consultant that uses theories of multiple intelligences to help prepare students for their academic futures. From a learning perspective, few students are helped to identify their true unique learning strengths. I work with students to help grow their unique mix of intellectual strengths.

From an admissions perspective, I will work with you to creatively differentiate you from other very talented students. Highly selective admissions offices want the best students. I will help you present yourself as a unique and compelling candidate that rises above the quantitative data that might otherwise define your application.
