A little bit about me
I’m Dr. Keaghan Turner and I specialize in customized guidance for academic applications.
I empower students with strategies for developing the confidence to generate compelling academic and professional writing.
I have taught thousands of college students; advised and counseled hundreds of students in pursuit of their future endeavors; and evaluated thousands upon thousands of student essays across all disciplines and at all academic levels.

Originally from West Hartford, CT, I’ve taught at Coastal Carolina University for the past eleven years where I’m an Associate Professor in the HTC Honors College. When I’m not working with students or hanging out with my kids, I’m usually trying to write, hunting for vintage treasures at local antiques markets, or driving soccer carpool.
I developed Consulting Professors because, as a parent of two teenage boys, I know well that every family has hopes, needs and concerns when it comes to sending children to college and launching them into the world. With a foot in both worlds, as a parent and a professor, I recognized a need to bridge the expertise provided by high school counselors and higher ed advisors. Since 2018, Consulting Professors has branched out from college consulting into transfer applications, graduate school advisement, test prep sessions, collaborations with nonprofits, and general academic counseling to offer customized guidance for students from underachievers to overachievers, from high school through grad school.
I have spent my career encouraging students to develop confidence in their voices. With more than 20 years of experience in higher ed classrooms behind me, I’ve guided young adults from diverse backgrounds and with diverse needs past their anxieties and towards their academic potential.
We work with each student as an individual, but our philosophy at Consulting Professors is always the same: we know that every student is full of extraordinary potential.
With a collaborative, accessible, hands-on approach, we identify your child’s academic talents, strengthen areas of weakness, and craft a personalized plan that builds competitive and compelling portfolios. Our goal is that students at all levels believe in themselves and apply themselves successfully.
