1. Your child is a freshman in high school.
It’s really never too early to begin thinking about college bound consulting, especially once a student is already in high school. Your college bound consultant can help right from the start and develop a strategy to get your child into their dream school. That’s why Hawk Educational Solutions in San Diego offers tutoring for students of all grade levels. It’s not just the material that students learn for standardized tests, or even college essay writing, that’s important. Even a short-term private college counselor offers reliable study habits and test-taking strategies to both improve a student’s performance and bolster self-confidence.
2. Your child performs well in school, but college applications are overwhelming.
Even gifted students need to find the right college match. College bound consulting here in San Diego can guide them where they can pursue their academic strengths and make an easy transition to living away from home.

3. Your child wants to be accepted at an Ivy League or other top-tier school.
While there are no guarantees of being accepted at any school, college bound consulting increases your child’s likelihood of enrolling at an Ivy League or other prominent school. We will work with your child to achieve the highest test scores and cumulative GPA possible, find ideal college matches, prepare for interviews, and submit competitive applications. If your child is not academically at the level of or interested in an Ivy League school, your private college counselor can help you find colleges that offer a host of benefits, cost effectiveness and atmosphere best suited to your student’s needs and goals.

6. Your child is a below-average student.

Also, there are colleges available for nearly every level of academic achievement.

7. Your child is great at some subjects but performs poorly in others.
Lots of students are a bit imbalanced this way, typically one side science and math; the other, humanities like English and social studies. Your private college counselor helps boost scores in weaker subjects by using test preparation classes and teaching test-taking strategies. Identifying colleges for your child that let them focus on their strengths, to minimize frustration and place the bulk of their academic energy where it will reap the greatest benefits, is key for you and your private college counselor.
