One-on-One College Planning:
Applying to competitive colleges is a process best approached through careful planning, goal-setting, and purposeful decision making. This is how Guru Academic Advisory helps. We like to begin working with students in their freshman, sophomore, or junior year of high school so we can chart out a course for success and monitor student progress along the way, providing support, enrichment, and re-direction when appropriate. We have different package options to meet you needs. Here's an idea of how we guide students along the road to college:
Applying to college doesn't have to be stressful or overwhelming. We think it is well worth the investment to make sure it's done right. If you would like to set up a complimentary consultation with a professional, highly experienced college counselor to discuss how we can work together to apply to colleges best suited for your student, fill out the form below or give us a call using the information on our Contact page.
For information about having a dynamic and insightful speaker from Guru Academic Advising present to your PTA, youth group, home school, NCL chapter, or other group, please send us an email.
