Testimonials from Students

"When I sat down to talk about colleges with Ms. J, she was full of helpful information that was realistic and encouraging to me. Her experience and insight about different universities gave me a better feel than even a college’s own website! She was able to give me specific feedback on my essays that not only focused on the sophistication and eloquence I was searching for, but conveying a personal subject in my own voice."

-Ava Garrison, class of 2023

Testimonials from Teachers

"Drea is a true professional, and masterful educator and trip leader. As I saw in our travels last summer to New Zealand and Australia with a handful of our students, she is deeply intrigued and engaged in immersing herself in the places and cultures that surround her. She is incredibly supportive of her students and colleagues, holds high standards, and will do anything to help those around her succeed."

Testimonials from Teachers

"I had the privilege of working with Drea Juskaitis in our English department. In our work together I learned that Drea is creative, collaborative, professional, honest, and easy to work with. She cares so much for her students, and she seeks to build strong, authentic relationships with them. She makes her students feel safe and the resulting vulnerability they share with her creates a beautiful space for growth and learning."

"As someone who had already had two careers, left to raise children, was nearing retirement age and wanted to figure out my “next move”, Andrea was extremely helpful. She provided guidance and thoughtful exercises to help me hone in on my greater “purpose” and how that purpose related to the next chapter in my life. Andrea brings an amazing freshness and relevance to the life coaching process, and a passion and desire to make meaningful connections with her clients so as to join them in the process of moving from one job or stage of life to the next. I would highly recommend Andrea if you are looking to make a significant life change or just want to explore what it means to have a more meaningful life."

Testimonials from Students

"I’ve had many English teachers over the years and I don’t take it lightly when I say you’ve come to be my favorite. You challenged me to grow, inspired me with your enthusiasm, and prepared me well for the AP English Language exam like no one else…over the year, you pointed out the flaws in my writing, and even when I didn't like it, you pushed me to be a better writer, day by day. For the first time ever I really, really worked to get that perfect score…Truly, words cannot express how deeply I thank you for helping me grow in my writing and how you constantly challenged me, busting my preconceived notions of perfection and forcing me to work for it. You forever changed my writing style, and I just know it’s going to help me tremendously in college."

Testimonials from Parent

"My experience with Andrea Juskaitis of Sky Blue College and Academic Coaching has been transformative for my son, bringing a sense of relief and peace of mind to me as a parent. I was initially concerned about the pressures of life after college graduation, but Andrea's invaluable guidance and support have made a world of difference to my son.

Not only did she help him navigate the complexities of life after graduating from university, but she also helped him balance personal responsibilities and set clear career goals. Andrea created a safe and supportive environment where my son felt understood and empowered to apply to graduate school. She took the time to really listen, understand his challenges, and offer practical options for him to consider. The coaching sessions helped him develop coping strategies and a more profound self-awareness and confidence.

The difference is clear: my child is now more organized and less overwhelmed by the demands of life after college. What I appreciate most about Andrea is her genuine care for my son. She has taken the time to get to know him, understand his needs, and provide the support he requires. Her focus on mental, emotional, and professional well-being has positively impacted my child's happiness and success.

I wholeheartedly recommend Andrea Juskaitis to any parent looking for a professional who genuinely cares about their child's growth and success."

Testimonials from Students

"In the fall of 2024, Andrea revised and helped me organize a good amount of my work concerning applications for graduate school. Though I was in a completely different time zone, she still found the time to meet with me remotely and answer any questions I had. Andrea was patient with me and my work process, and I am particularly thankful for her thoroughness and attention to detail regarding the materials for my application. It was so helpful to have her guide me through this daunting process and she made me feel confident in my writing."

-Andy Merril, graduate school applicant

Testimonials from Students

"When I sat down to talk about colleges with Andrea, she provided me with helpful insight and knowledge that was realistic and encouraging. Her experience and insight about different universities gave me a better feel and understanding than the college's websites! She gave me specific feedback and information regarding my personal essay that focused on the sophistication and eloquence I was searching for and conveyed a personal tone in my voice. She was incredibly patient with me regarding the supplemental essays I had to write. She helped me organize and refine each essay, giving them a unique spin. Without her incredible guidance throughout my college application process, I wouldn't be where I am today. Most importantly, she instilled in me the confidence I needed in the essays my colleges are now reviewing."
