YCSW – College Prep

Yearsley Winkler || Founder & Director of YCSW

About YCSW: Located in downtown Westport, YCSW offers Standardized Test Preparation and College Admissions Consulting services for students and families who want to dramatically increase their chances of gaining admission to some of the most competitive schools in the country.

Since 2007, YCSW has been helping students across Fairfield County and beyond streamline the college admissions process: identifying and cultivating a student’s interests; maximizing their standardized test scores; and helping them write compelling and effective college essays.

Our Philosophy and the YCSW Difference: Students and families continue to choose to work with YCSW because YCSW does things differently. We do the college process without playing the college process game. We help students achieve success on their terms, refusing to sacrifice the individual to what colleges supposedly want. Work with YCSW if you like the idea of a young person thriving within the process while still remaining a young person.

Founder & Director Yearsley Winkler was raised in Westport, graduated from Staples (’03), and attended Yale University, earning his BA and MA in English Literature (’07). Yearsley has over 18 years working with students on all aspects of the college preparation process. He strongly believes that, properly understood, the process is straightforward, neither rocket-science nor something that should be used to intimidate students and their families. Success never comes at the expense of a healthy experience.
