Where teacher insight meets admissions strategy.
With over two decades of classroom experience, we know how to connect with students, build trust, and bring out authentic voices. At Summit, our structured, supportive approach turns stress into confidence and drafts into standout applications.
Meet Our Co-Founders
Jacklyn and Maggie met teaching high school in New Hampshire and bonded over their love of library books and side hustles. Their connection turned into a collaboration — and eventually, Summit Academic Support — where they combine their teaching experience and creative energy to guide students through the college application process.

Maggie Finn
I’m Maggie Finn — U.S. History and American Literature teacher and co-founder of Summit Academic Support.
I studied History at Dartmouth College and earned my master’s in teaching, with certifications in History, English, and Special Education. Over the past decade, I’ve helped hundreds of students find their voice - whether in an APUSH classroom debate or through their college essays.
What I love most is the process — helping students turn chaos into clarity, and watching that moment when an idea clicks. I bring structure, humor, and the occasional reminder that commas aren’t life or death.

Jacklyn Angell
I’m Jacklyn Angell — 10th grade Honors English teacher and co-founder of Summit Academic Support.
I hold a master’s in English Education and a passion for helping students feel confident, organized, and proud of their work. For the past fifteen years, I’ve helped students turn messy ideas into writing that actually sounds like them.
My favorite part of the process is brainstorming — that moment when a tiny story becomes the essay that fits. I bring the same patience and humor to essay coaching that I do to the classroom—it’s what keeps students engaged and at ease.
