Every student can thrive.

Our college success hub makes it easy to learn and apply the strategies students need to defy the odds and thrive in college.

You have BIG dreams, and you need a degree. But let’s be real…

COLLEGE IS TOUGH.

Research finds that over 60% of students are underprepared to reach their academic goals. And the stats are even worse for students who are:

  • first-generation college students

  • from an underserved community

  • navigating learning differences like ADHD

That’s why we created Alma Modern—a hub designed to equip every college and college-bound student with the proven strategies to defy the odds.

College success

No boring videos. No outdated graphics. No fluff.

At Alma Modern we leverage the power of tech and microlearning to deliver unlimited access to the strategies, coaching, and accountability students need to reach their goals.

Hi. I’m Anette…

a college admissions pro turned Director of Student Life at Alma Modern

  • It’s my mission to equip every student to thrive in college.

    After spending a decade working in admissions and seeing countless students get into their dream schools, I realized something was missing. Many students were unprepared for the challenges of college life and struggled to find their way. Through my work with universities, high schools, and individual families, I learned how to best prepare students for the transition to college and equip them with the tools they need to thrive in this new environment.

    College is so much more than learning and studying. That's why I take a holistic approach to coaching, focusing on academic preparedness, but also personal life, emotional well-being, and career readiness.

    Every student deserves the chance to succeed in college and beyond. That's why I work tirelessly to ensure they are equipped to achieve their dreams. Together, we can ensure you are ready to take on whatever challenges come your way.

    When I’m not at Alma Modern, you’ll find me hanging out with my family, sipping matcha, or taking a loooong walk (preferably on the beach).

Hi. I’m Edward…

a learning center pro and UCLA dropout turned Founder of Alma Modern

  • EVERY student deserves the opportunity to change their life by earning a college degree, but far too many students are underequipped with the strategies they need to thrive. Once upon a time, that was me.

    I was a first-gen, low-income, minority, non-traditional, transfer student back in the day and I spent (way too many) years fumbling through college, even dropping out of UCLA twice—seriously.

    I eventually found my way to a master’s degree and a career leading university learning centers. I loved it until I could no longer fight the urge to expand my reach. So, I left my career in higher ed and started Alma Modern to partner with students all over the world so they too can make their dreams a reality.

    When I’m not busy learning, coaching, or creating content, you’ll find me indoor-picnicking with my family, taking long walks through theme parks, or drinking coffee while staring out a window.
