ASHLEY MILLER

A stay-at-home mom to a toddler and homeschool educator to an elementary school student during the day, Ashley continues to expand upon her more than twenty years of tutoring and ten years of college essay and application counseling.  She excels in working with students of all ages in subjects as diverse as Microeconomics and personal essay composition. Her tutoring specialty, however, lies in standardized tests, especially the ACT and SAT. Before joining Access Test Prep in 2014, Ashley worked as a lead standardized test class instructor; she often trained new tutors and devised teaching and training materials. Ashley is conversationally fluent in Spanish.

Ashley also specializes in college application counseling.  As such, she is especially adept at not only integrating college application preparedness into ACT/SAT test preparation, but also transitioning students from test prep into focusing on college applications. She works closely with students to complete their college applications by helping them plan, build, and edit their college essays while striving to make their voices and personalities shine.  She has had students accepted into prestigious programs and colleges across the country, including the University of Georgia Honors Program, the University of Southern California Honors Program, John Hopkins, Harvard, Rice University, UC Berkeley, and Boston University.

Ashley is a Certified College Counselor and an Associate Member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA), whose resources she uses to stay current on trends in admissions and counseling.
