5 GREAT reasons you need to hire an Education Consultant....

Hello there, I'm back again with another post...

Some people ask why one would seek the assistance of a professional education counselor/consultant when searching for schools for their children/ward. Different people may seek us out for different reasons but a G.R.E.A.T education consultant can do the following...

G: Give the Student a competitive edge

College selection and application is a very time-consuming process. Counseling—of all types—requires time and energy from a professional. However, school guidance counselors are overworked and have less time than perhaps they once did to give personalized college counseling hence the need for an external consultant. With the help of an education Consultant, attention is more personalized. Students can be steered to pursue academic, extracurricular and athletic abilities during their high school days that will increase their chances of being admitted to the college(s) of their choice. Information of scholarships or bursaries, early applications, mock Skype interviews and possible tips on writing outstanding personal statements are some of the other benefits to give students a competitive edge.

R: Research

The college admission process may seem intuitive but it is based on a cumulative process of experience that includes visiting colleges, going to conferences, seminars and workshop and knowing enough about various colleges to help students pick the right one. It is not enough to have helped a child through the experience and expect it to be the same for the other. Because of the different personality types, one must properly figure out how to match kids to the institution where they will thrive and grow. An education Consultant can help research appropriate schools based on parent's budget, location preference, program of study, personality type etc. He/She would also research updates that pertain to the student visa application (where necessary) and other useful information in order to ensure a seamless application process.

E: Eliminate the Confusion

One of the great benefits of the Internet age is that students and parents have much more access to huge amount of information. With literally thousands of websites devoted to college selection and admission, parents and students can learn more about college admission than ever before. However, knowledge is not necessarily bliss.  The overwhelming quantity of information does little to clarify our vision and answer our individual questions. Which information is useful? Which sources can I trust? Which information applies to my child's situation? The huge expansion of available information has created a new burden of having to sift through millions of useful tidbits. An experienced education consultant can help do the sifting for you. By focusing primarily on your child or the student, the consultant/counselor can pull the information that is directly relevant to the student's situation. Since a good consultant/ counselor also knows the colleges well, he can select colleges that closely match the student's needs, abilities, and ambitions.

A - Alleviate the Stress or anxiety

Education consultants help to alleviate the stress of college selection for busy parents who have neither the time nor the energy to do all the legwork necessary to find the right college for their kids. They are also useful to people who are overwhelmed by or impatient with the application process (so much paperwork, so little time!) and Parents who are anxiety-ridden about getting their kids into the “best” schools. Good guidance in selecting the right schools and in completing the application can make the difference between acceptance and rejection. Education Consultants can help your child develop an appropriate college selection and admissions strategy to give them the best possible chance of reaching their educational goals without you stressing it out.

T – Time-Rewarding

Parents who value time more than money would rather spend what free time they have on personal and/or family pursuits and pay someone to worry over college catalogs or applications for them. An experienced college consultant can help reassure nervous parents and ensure that all the administrative pieces are managed with efficiency and accuracy and above all – within the required time frame. Please note that the best time to start the admission process is before or at the start of the academic session which is NOW. Seek advice from an education consultant on required documents to kick-start the admission process and get going!

Thinking about the consultation fee? If the above-mentioned benefits of hiring a GREAT education consultant are anything to go by, the financial implication is not worth the hassle. Though it may seem like a hefty cost, many families are surprised at how much money they can save by hiring an experienced education consultant.
