Hi, I'm James Kiger
I’ve worked with students and families for over 25 years—as a teacher, counselor, and success coach.
I created FastStart2College to make this process feel doable—not overwhelming.
Whether your student is just starting or needs full support, I’m here to help your family stay on track and succeed.
🧐 Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
How is this different from a school counselor?
Counselors usually help hundreds of students. That means they don’t always have time to go deep. We make sure you get the focus you need.”
What if I have no idea what I want to do?
That’s exactly why we created this program! We can help you find the right next step whether that is college, a career or even a gap year.
Is this just for students who want to go to college?
No! We help students considering college, trade schools, and career paths.
Can’t I just do this myself?
Yes, you absolutely can! But the real question is—do you have the time to conduct over 25+ hours of in-depth research on careers, colleges, majors, and scholarships while also keeping everything organized?
We do the heavy lifting for you, saving you countless hours of research and making sure your teen has a clear, customized plan without the overwhelm.
Plus, waiting too long or making the wrong choices can cost thousands in missed opportunities. Investing in expert guidance now saves both time and money in the long run.
Start Anytime. The Sooner, the Better.
Most families begin between May and September, but enrollment is open year-round.
Whether you’re early or catching up, FastStart will meet you where you are and help you finish strong.
