Some questions I am frequently asked<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][toggles style=”minimal_small”][toggle color=”Default” title=”Why do I need a college counselor? Can I do this on my own?”][vc_column_text]Of course, you can. However, having a little guidance can really go a long way. Think of me as your sounding board and a person you can always go to whenever you have a query. Going alone is always an option. With me along, it becomes a lot easier to navigate.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” title=”I don\u2019t even know you and we will work online.

I can assure you that I will do my very best to assist you.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” title=”Can you assure me that my child will get into an ivy league college?”][vc_column_text]No one can guarantee that, but I can assure you to work with your child to find the right fit where he\/she will be happy, confident and successful.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” title=”Do you only work with international students?”][vc_column_text]While I specialize in assisting international students, I work with all students who are interested regardless of their current residence.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][\/toggles][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][nectar_blog layout=”masonry-blog-fullwidth” blog_masonry_style=”inherit” load_in_animation=”none” category=”all” order=”DESC” orderby=”rand” posts_per_page=”8″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
