Why Hire an Educational Consultant?
Hiring an independent educational consultant can provide you with access to a vetted professional with proven expertise, high standards of education, training, ethics, and experience. We offer individualized support to help students navigate the complex and competitive university admissions process, particularly for highly selective institutions in the US. We work with students to develop good writing, analytical, advocacy, and time management skills, as well as strategies for success in university and beyond. Our approach complements the work of high school staff and can help relieve parental stress and provide realistic advice to families. We have a track record of helping students gain admission to selective universities such as Ivy League schools and Stanford and Caltech, and also assist students applying to universities in Canada and the UK with completing application forms and editing university and scholarship essays.
