A British-Indian-Nepalese family's mother, Kathryn founded Admission Pathways in 2018 and holds NACAC's International University Advocate certification.

About Me


Kathryn Ackerman moved from London to Northern Virginia about 20 years ago, after double-majoring in history and classics, and has since built over fifteen years of experience across the UK and US university systems and the US K-12 field, including ESL and creative writing tutoring. She founded Admission Pathways in 2018 to support families navigating college admissions from around the world.

As the parent of cross-culture children of British, Indian, and Nepalese heritage, Kathryn has personally navigated multiple unfamiliar education systems — including guiding one of her own children through a college journey complicated by serious health issues — and brings that firsthand understanding to her belief that every family's experience is unique and deserves a personalized approach. She holds an Independent Education Consultant Certificate from UC Irvine and NACAC's International University Advocate Professional Certificate, is a Professional Member of IECA, and belongs to NACAC, International ACAC, PCACAC, and SACAC. She also volunteers as a ScholarMatch Coach, supporting first-generation and underserved students.
