Well-Trained Mind
Learning Services
Real advice for real students.
We offer personal consultations with Susan Wise Bauer PhD, co-author of the Well-Trained Mind, and Julia Kaziewicz Collier PhD, Dean of the Well-Trained Mind Academy. Both Susan and Julia are professional educators with extensive college teaching experience who can help you chart the right path for your student. They have access to a wide network of professionals in K-12 classrooms, home schooling, and higher education. Susan and Julia will work with their team to provide you with the best plan possible.
A personal hour-long consultation for new families with Dr. Bauer and Dr. Collier is $250, which includes a post-consultation write-up of notes for you and your student. The initial consultation will explore educational history and family dynamics, and will conclude with curricular suggestions, which will be reiterated in the written follow-up. Additional research, document review, and other services are available by request.

“ What success our family had in homeschool is largely due to your guidance. I feel so privileged to have worked with you. You are both phenomenal.”
“We decided to start homeschooling 13 years ago after reading Susan Wise Bauer’s The Well-Trained Mind, and we joined the Academy when it opened in 2014. We are grateful for all the guidance Dr. Collier has provided over the years as Dean of the Academy, and Dr. Bauer’s wonderful guidance through her books. When it came time to work on our daughter’s college applications we reached out to Well-Trained Mind Learning Services. Dr. Bauer and Dr. Collier provided insightful commentary and suggestions for improvement on our daughter’s high school transcript. We found their advice to be invaluable. My daughter was accepted by several institutions and was offered multiple scholarships and grants. She chose a place at Johns Hopkins University (with a fantastic financial package). The educational success our family has experienced is a testament to Well-Trained Mind’s marvelous guidance and advice. We are forever grateful and highly recommend their services to everyone!”
