Helping Families Navigate the Los Angeles School Admissions Process
My goal is to help families find the school that authentically aligns with their values and meets the needs of their child, both academically and socio-emotionally.
Meet Elaine Hobert
Elaine has dedicated her life to education. She spent the last twenty years teaching in public and private schools in Los Angeles, advising families, and most recently, acting as the Associate Director of Admissions at Carlthorp School. She not only understands the unique admissions landscape from an educational point of view, but also from the lens of a parent, having just gone through the admissions process with her own children. She has learned valuable insights from both sides and is eager to share her extensive knowledge and assist parents who are trying to navigate through the world of private, public, and charter schools in Los Angeles.
"Elaine took the time to thoroughly get to know our son and guided us through the murky admissions waters with patience, kindness and empathy. Her confident demeanor and candid good humor takes the anxiety out of the process and allows you to relax with her calmly steering the ship. "
