Work With A Private Guidance Counselor On Your Application

A private guidance counselor can provide you with the personalized attention you need. While school counselors are capable of doing the same things, they are not as able to dedicate as much time to each student. Private guidance counselors are much more attentive to the individual needs of each student. This can make all the difference. One of the advantages of hiring a college consultant is flexibility. The consultant can help you build a college list and attend unlimited meetings. They can also help you with your application and major selection.
 

Hiring a private college consultant is an excellent option for families facing problems with their child's academic career. They can help students with unconventional academic backgrounds choose a major or pursue a career in an area where the student is not as interested. The cost of hiring a private consultant will vary widely and depends on the services they provide, the company they work for, and the level of assistance required.

I couldn’t have imagined applying to college without Tiffany’s help. I seriously looked forward to every meeting I had with her. She was not only my advisor, but also a great friend. She understood what I was trying to get across in my college application essays and was able to help me express myself in a thoughtful manner. I was able to get into the nursing program at my dream school, Dominican University, and Tiffany played a huge part in this life accomplishment. I still text her updates and am so happy to have a lifelong friend.

Working On Your College Application? We Can Help!

Consultants love helping students succeed and will work with you to make your dreams a reality. They cannot force you to achieve them, so if you're passionate about a particular academic goal, your consultant will be more likely to work with you. There's no reason to hire a consultant if you're not willing to follow their advice.

​

As an added benefit, a private college counselor can work with students at any stage of the college admissions process. Consultants have extensive experience with high school students as well as working in college admission offices. To help students navigate the college admissions process, a private college counselor should have a degree in counseling or an equivalent field. Consult our qualified private guidance counselors at College & Career Champion today!
