Welcome!

David Altshuler helps students and their families choose and apply to colleges, universities and traditional boarding schools as well as boarding schools for students who learn differently and for students who have emotional needs. He has been empowering students and helping them make good decisions since 1980 when he founded Educational Resources, a tutoring and test preparation firm.

David began his career in education by teaching mathematics and English at the middle school, high school and community college level. Because he wanted to "teach children" in addition to teaching mathematics, he earned a Master's degree in developmental psychology in order to counsel students in all aspects of their growth and development--academic, social and emotional. He travels extensively many times a year, visiting colleges, boarding school and therapeutic facilities to ensure that he knows the campuses and their staff in order to help families make appropriate choices. In the past five years alone, David has toured over 100 colleges, boarding schools and therapeutic facilities.

David has helped thousands of students and their families make good decisions that have had a transformative positive impact on their lives.

As a professional member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association and a member of the National Association for College Admission Counselors, David is committed to receiving no compensation from the schools for referring students. He meets with students, analyzes transcripts and testing, consults with other professionals when necessary and helps families determine the appropriate placement. Of course all information is kept strictly confidential.

David makes his home in Miami, Florida where he was born and raised. He is active in the running community and competes in marathons worldwide. He enjoys taking his wife and four children camping and reading good books.
