In today's episode, I review how your child can secure extraordinary letters of recommendation from their teachers.  

Unfortunately, some students take this part of the application lightly, because it seems like the teacher is the one who has to do all the work.

Not true.

The student has to do plenty to set the teacher up for success.

As usual, this process needs to start early.  

Give this episode a listen if you're not sure what it takes to score a great letter of recommendation.
