The Other Voice in the Conversation
Often parent's reach out to us for help as they feel the college search and application process is so emotionally charged between them and their adolescent son or daughter that it amps up stress in the household in a counterproductive way. Therefore, partnering with an educational consultant to de-escalate the process and move it forward can be helpful. We can provide a voice that may be better heard to guide the process, working to establish and meet the educational goals of the student and their family.
By meeting with students regularly as juniors and more frequently as seniors, we earmark time spent productively in the process, supporting the student along the way. The partnership between student, family, and consultant relies on excellent communication and goal-setting. It’s an exciting time to explore post-secondary possibilities, and we strive to keep it positive, ideally empowering students to take responsibility for it with our guidance and their parent's support.
Becoming the other voice that students can hear and a resource for families can de-stress what many feel is a tense and complex process.
