Academic Major & Career Coaching<\/h2>\n
Many consultants focus on helping you choose the right college, leaving you alone with the rest. We think having a clearer idea on your chosen career path and related major is most important, which then helps you choose the right college<\/strong>. This saves you time and money that would have otherwise been lost on switching majors, taking a 5th or 6th year to graduate, not graduating at all with wasted financial investment and debt, or having to change careers and start over later in life.<\/p>\nUsing various, up-to-date tools providing information on colleges across the country and today\u2019s careers, combined with research-based personal assessment tools that determine your overall personality, learning styles, values, desired work environment, and interests, we advise you on the following:<\/p>\n
\n- Determining your best fit major\/s and career of interest at all stages of your college career starting in high school<\/li>\n
- Advising on non-academic activities that will enhance your personal growth, skills, and career marketability<\/li>\n
- Guidance with resumes, internships, assistantships, job interviewing, etc.<\/li>\n
- Major and career options unique to international students<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

College Admissions Consulting<\/h2>\n
The college application process can be stressful and overwhelming and the environment where you\u2019ll spend the next 4 years can make or break you. No matter what higher ed institution you end up attending, we want you to thrive, not just survive. It\u2019s crucial to attend a college that supports your academic and career goals, as well as compliments your personality and interests, not to mention your wallet<\/strong>. Location, size, cost, extracurriculars offered, culture, diversity, approach to international students, among many others, are all important considerations to take in account before you write that deposit check. Here is what we can help you do:<\/p>\n\n- Narrowing down several best fit universities in the USA typically based on having more confidently chosen a major (see \u201cAcademic Major and Career Coaching\u201d).<\/li>\n
- Developing the best possible student profile for colleges of interest.<\/li>\n
- Tackling the application process for college admissions: search process, managing deadlines and time management, the application, materials needed, admissions interviews, physical visits, comparative analysis post-acceptance, etc.<\/li>\n
- Writing a phenomenal and impressive \u201ccollege entrance essay\u201d (for native and non-native speakers of English)<\/li>\n
- International Students:<\/strong> Admissions procedures and challenges unique to international students, such as (but not limited to): approach to diversity, opportunities for international students, student visa procedures, conditional admissions, Intensive English programs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Cultural & Life Transition Coaching<\/h2>\n
It\u2019s not just about getting in and surviving for 4 years- it\u2019s about thriving there so you can graduate as a confident, clear, purposeful, and career-ready adult.<\/strong> Leaving the comfort and familiarity of your family, region, country, and\/or high school, which often have clearer expectations and rules, can be exciting but challenging for many no matter where you came from. Furthermore, studies show that what you\u2019re not directly asked to do in college- such as volunteer and leadership activities, informational interviews, time management strategies, experiences that build emotional intelligence, etc.- are actually greater determinants of success than G.P.A.\u00a0 International students have the added challenge of an often unfamiliar culture and studying advanced academics in a non-native language. \u201cCollege culture shock\u201d can happen to students of all backgrounds, however, whether it be academic, emotional, social, cultural, or any other myriad of ways. Here are some ways we can help:<\/p>\nFor Domestic Students:<\/h2>\n\n- Guidance with transitioning to and adapting to college life, academically, socially, and career-wise based on your unique needs and personality<\/li>\n
- Time management, study skills, college-level writing skills, and other academic and life skills for young adulthood in a college setting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
For International Students:<\/h2>\n
Many international students often arrive to the U.S. with very different
expectations than what they actually encounter. Culture is so more than just the \u201c6 F\u2019s\u201d commonly represented in movies and social media: Food, Fashion, Festivals, Folklore, Films, and Famous people. You\u2019re not only adjusting to a major life transition, but also unfamiliar values, ways of seeing the world and patterns of communication- not to mention a language that is not your own.\u00a0 \u00a0We can educate you on the realities, idiosyncrasies, and other less-known aspects of your new culture: ways to thrive, not just survive. This includes pre and post-placement coaching on:<\/p>\n
\n- Culture shock and how to handle it<\/li>\n
- Academic culture and expectations in the classroom and in your work output<\/li>\n
- Academic writing etiquette & skills<\/li>\n
- Social expectations and norms, gender roles, etc.<\/li>\n
- Work and career etiquette and expectations<\/li>\n
- Language etiquette and usage; important phrases and idioms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

English Exam Prep, Writing Tutoring, & Literacy Tutoring for Native & Non-native English speakers<\/h2>\n
Most students agree that standardized tests are a challenge. \u00a0The TOEFL, for example, \u00a0tests not only academic language in the 4 core areas: Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking, but also academic and cognitive skills. It\u2019s an unnecessary evil, but we can help boost your scores to whatever you need depending on your future goals and chosen university.<\/strong> This includes:<\/p>\n\n- SAT tutoring (English portion)<\/li>\n
- Tutoring to achieve the desired and necessary score on the TOEFL and IELTS exams, including all 4 portions: Reading, Writing, Speaking, & Listening<\/li>\n
- Pronunciation coaching for the speaking portion and college interview<\/li>\n
- Writing coaching for TOEFL writing portions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Entrance Exam Writing Coaching<\/h2>\n\n- Writing tuturing and coaching for your college entrance essays (for both native and non-native speakers of English)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Literacy Tutoring<\/h2>\n\n- Literacy\/Reading (Grades 3-5)<\/li>\n
- English\/ELA (Grades 6-12)<\/li>\n
- Spanish (all levels)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
