SERVICE ComponentsIndividual ConsultationFace-to-Face development
College Bound Consultants provides one-to-one services in the privacy and convenience of our clients’ homes. In establishing a great rapport and a close working relationship with our students we become their most enthusiastic advisors and advocates. This partnership enables us to promote their most impressive traits, aptitudes, and experiences which results in the submission of strongest applications. Each in-home session is approximately 90 minutes allowing our counselors to devote extraordinary attention to the student. Sessions are available in the evenings, on weekends, and during holidays and vacations.
Electronic Communication, Web/Video Conferencing Face-to-Face without being Face-to-Face.
If you do not live in the New York City region or are unable to schedule an in-home appointment, we offer our high-level of personalized and professional, “face to face” service by web conferencing. We also communicate with students at their level through other electronic means including cell phone calls, text messaging, and/or other social media services.
Academic Coaching & Consulting Your potential, maximized.
College Bound Consultants do more than help students apply to college; we work with students as early as seventh grade to maximize their personal and academic evolution. As certified School Counselors we offer a personalized approach which enables students to discover, develop, and demonstrate their potential. Services include detailed strategies for academic success from 7th grade through college: academic course selection, advisement in choosing extra-curricular activities, summer and volunteer opportunities, time and task management, study and test taking skills and anxiety reduction.
Personal & Family CounselingMore success, less stress.
As both college admissions experts and state-certified counselors, we do more than help students take care of their college applications, we help take care of them and their families. We understand how confusing and stressful it is applying to colleges. We strive to eliminate the stress they feel by assisting and guiding them with every step of the college application process. Our counselors are qualified to recognize and address any issues that our students and families encounter.
Special needs Helping all clients excel.
We are proud to enable our clients with diagnosed (and undiagnosed) emotional, learning, personality, and physical disabilities to attain their personal, academic, and collegiate goals. Our experienced and trained counselors possess the caring and knowledge to meet your child’s needs. Our counselors take special consideration in recommending colleges that meet their academic and personal needs. We will also introduce students to new strategies in becoming successful in college and how to advocate for themselves by taking full advantage of campus resources.
Gifted & TalentedHelping advanced students, advance.
Our consultants are experienced and trained to meet the unique demands and emotional needs of gifted and talented students. Our specialists work with students with advanced academic, artistic, athletic, creative, and intellectual abilities. We also support their distinct educational and psycho-social needs. As counselors, we are able to prepare these students to be successful and comfortable in their new found collegiate, conservatory, and/or professional training environments.
