MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO
Hey, I'm Coach Jo!
As an entrepreneur, educator, counselor, career guide, and above all—a mother—I know how overwhelming the college admissions journey can feel.
Over the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of guiding more than 1,000 students, watching them transform from uncertain and stressed to confident and prepared.
What drives me every day is seeing the difference in parents’ eyes when their teen discovers their voice, secures a scholarship, or gets accepted into a dream school. That joy, that relief, that pride—that’s why Gifted Gabber exists.
My mission is simple:
Empower teens to discover their authentic strengths and shine beyond test scores.
Simplify the admissions journey so families feel confident, not overwhelmed.
Build futures that go beyond acceptance—confidence, scholarships, and success.
And my vision is clear:
Every teen deserves a voice that’s heard and remembered.
Every family deserves equal access to opportunity and guidance.
College prep should be personal, creative, and transformative—not cookie-cutter.
"At Gifted Gabber, we don’t just prepare students for admissions. We prepare them for life."

TESTIMONIALS

Ami Siu (Grade 10)
Gifted Gabber research instructors were extremely helpful and personalized their advice, making me feel comfortable asking questions. Their expertise and experience were super beneficial for my research. My biggest win was successfully completing my research paper, which felt like a huge milestone. They taught me the importance of avoiding procrastination and practicing good time management. I would definitely recommend the program as it was a great learning experience for future research and helped me produce a strong paper.
Parents of Aarushi
Arushi accepted Temple University Neuroscience Honors programm with $86,000 merit scholarship for 4 years. In her college application journey, you played one of the main parts and crucial to her high school achievement. Thank You
Parents of Pujitha
We are so thankful for all the help you gave our daughter, Pujitha, during the college application process. With your support, she was able to build an amazing profile that really showed her strengths and interests. Even though she missed the deadline to submit some things, you were so kind to accommodate us and make sure everything was ready. You also advised us not to apply Early Decision to Duke, which helped Pujitha focus on the best fit for her. Thanks to you, Pujitha got into Stanford, which we didn’t think was possible. We couldn’t have done it without your help. Thank you so much!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a virtual research program?
A virtual research program gives high school students the chance to work with university professors and research mentors online. Instead of being limited to a physical lab, students attend live classes, meet in small groups, and get guided through research methods, data analysis, and academic writing—all from home.
How does my teen actually do research without being in a lab?
Most high school research focuses on literature-based projects (reviewing and analyzing published studies), data-driven projects (using real datasets), or theoretical frameworks (developing ideas and models). These are the same approaches used in university-level seminars—and they often result in publishable papers.
Are these group or one-on-one sessions?
Both. Each program includes live group sessions with professors and writing mentors, plus individual 1:1 sessions for personalized feedback. Typically:
BASIC PACKAGE:
- 8 sessions with the Research Professor
- 8 sessions with the Writing Mentor
- 2 one-on-one meetings with the Research Professor
- 2 one-on-one meetings with the Writing Mentor
PREMIUM PACKAGE:
- 8 sessions with the Research Professor
- 8 sessions with the Writing Mentor
- 4 one-on-one meetings with the Research Professor
- 4 one-on-one meetings with the Writing Mentor
What’s included in the program?
Students complete a 10–12 week guided research experience, where they:
- Learn foundations of the subject (Neuroscience, Cancer, etc.)
- Explore real scientific literature and datasets
- Develop their own research question
- Write a 4,000+ word academic paper
- Present their work in a final session
- Get feedback from professors and writing mentors
Every student finishes with a research paper draft suitable for journal submission.
Who teaches my teen?
Your child will learn from:
- A University Research Professor (decades of teaching & publications, experts in neuroscience, cancer biology, or immunology depending on program)
- A Creative Writing/Scientific Writing Mentor (experienced in academic writing, published author, or former research director)
Our faculty have mentored graduate students, medical students, and 30+ high schoolers each, so your teen is in professional hands.
What are the program dates?
Neuroscience Research Program: September 14 – November 16, 2025 (Sundays, 4:30 PM EST)
Cancer Research Program: October 19 – December 21, 2025 (Sundays, 4:30 PM EST)
⚠️ Other programs will open on future dates. Keep an eye out for our announcements.
What if my teen misses a class?
Recordings are available through our Learning Management Portal. Students are expected to attend live whenever possible, and may only miss up to 2–3 sessions.
Will my teen’s paper be published?
We do not guarantee publication, because acceptance depends on quality, rigor, and the journal’s criteria.
However, students receive full mentorship on topic selection, writing, and submission. Many of our past students have been published.
What kind of research do students do virtually?
Projects are usually literature reviews, data analyses, or theoretical frameworks.
Students read peer-reviewed papers, analyze findings, and create original perspectives under mentor guidance. This mirrors real undergraduate-level research seminars.
What will my teen actually learn?
A typical neuroscience program covers:
- Basics of DNA, proteins, and neurotransmission
- Causes of neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s)
- Current treatments and research directions
- How to review scientific literature and write a research paper
Every program has a structured syllabus to move students from novice to independent researcher.
What if my teen has a question outside class?
We offer full support:
Parents: WhatsApp accountability group
Students: Discord group for peer + mentor support
Assistants & Coordinators: Program staff available via email, phone, and chat
Will my teen get a certificate or recommendation?
Yes. Students who complete the program receive:
- A Certificate of Completion
- Letter of Recommendation from the University Professor
- Publication of their work on the Gifted Gabber website (if approved)
