About Guide on the Side

In Ajijic, one of several small towns located in the Lake Chapala district of Jalisco, Mexico

We are a micro-agency committed to increasing connection, deepening support, and empowering our clients. Our primary services focus on the areas of Educational Consulting (middle school—Master's level), Writing & Editing, and Life Transitions & Transformations.

• We are committed to educating and empowering youth to flourish—in school and beyond—through mentoring, coaching, and tutoring services.

• Our editing services grew out of the same ethos—a desire to help those whose writing seeks to make the world a better place. We’ve worked with authors writing novels, memoirs, and books of poetry, as well as college/scholarship applications and other kinds of personal narratives. It is always an awe-inspiring experience.

• We offer English Language Learning support, provided by instructors who have lived and worked in countries other than the ones we were born in. We deeply understand the joys, and the difficulty, of learning another language and culture!

• Our latest ventures include establishing personalized care for elders in Mexico; consulting with founders of a program for children in South India, and partnering with a school in Brazil to provide educational support to students in need.
