College Confidence Advising is a boutique college consulting practice that is tailored to each student.
We work closely with students and families to provide individualized support to reduce stress, build confidence, and provide guidance through each step of the process. From exploring college options and developing a balanced school list for “best fit,” to crafting meaningful applications and essays, we work together to feature every student’s unique story and to share their interests and inspirations.
Who We Are
Get to Know Us
Shana Fischer Huber is an Independent Educational Consultant based in Los Angeles, CA. She earned her IEC Certification from UC Irvine and is an Associate member of IECA. Shana is a graduate of Pitzer College with a BS in Psychology, studying for a year at the London School of Economics and Political Science. After graduating, she was in the Master’s program for Film & Television at Loyola Marymount University, before moving on to a successful 30 year career as a Producer in Post Production in Films and Television, working on award-winning prestige projects for all the major studios and streamers.
She has always been a mentor to younger people coming up in the business and helped her son, as well as family and friends with their college applications before deciding to get her certificate. Her experience in the entertainment industry and helping Executive Producers bring their stories to a wide audience was the perfect training ground for coaching students on essays, while her project management and research skills aligned with creating college lists and guiding students to meet deadlines during the application process.
Her goal as a college counselor is to help reduce stress during the process and to allow her students to shine. She finds working with students and families both rewarding and inspiring!
My Approach
At College Confidence Advising, the goal is to create a supportive environment and a personalized experience where every student feels heard, understood, and empowered to take ownership of their future. I believe the most successful college journeys begin with knowing the student behind the application. Every student has their own story, strengths, passions, and goals—and my role is to help them discover how those qualities can translate into a college path that feels authentic and exciting.
My approach is student centered around creating a comfortable, judgment-free space where students can ask questions, express concerns, and feel supported throughout the entire process. Rather than focusing solely on admissions outcomes, I help students recognize their own strengths and make thoughtful decisions that reflect who they are and what they hope to achieve. Together, we will focus on finding the “best fit” colleges, create a balanced list for applications, and highlight your student’s unique voice in their essays.
At College Confidence Advising, we value students as individuals with unique experiences, dreams, and unlimited potential. My mission is to help each student approach the college process with clarity, confidence, and a sense of excitement for what comes next!
