Unlock Your Potential with Rise and Shine

We are dedicated to helping students achieve their college dreams through test preparation, tutoring and financial aid application support. Our founder, Teresa Shappell, started this organization with a mission to help students gain admission to U.S. colleges, and since then, we have been successfully guiding students towards their dreams.

With over 10 years of experience in private consulting firms, Teresa’s passion for education and her own experience of helping her children with college applications led to the foundation of Rise and Shine College Coaching in 2014. As a Harvard University alumna, she understands the importance of college education in shaping an individual’s life and is committed to helping young people find their passion and reach their full potential.

At Rise and Shine, we believe that every student is unique and requires an individualized approach to learning. Our team of Ivy League educated professional teachers has over 10 years of experience in teaching and test preparation, and is dedicated to providing customized strategies to maximize each student’s score and meet their individual needs.
