FAQs
1. Who is Elite Educational Consulting for?
Elite Educational Consulting serves middle school, high school, gap-year, and college students—as well as families—who are seeking strategic, ethical, and personalized guidance for academic success, college admissions, scholarships, internships, and long-term planning.
2. What makes Elite Educational Consulting different from other firms?
We go beyond generic advice. Our team brings 35+ years of combined experience across teaching, tutoring, consulting, and content development. We focus on long-term student development, values-aligned excellence, and personalized strategy—not shortcuts or one-size-fits-all packages.
3. Do you guarantee college admissions or scholarships?

4. Do you write essays or applications for students?
No. We do not write essays, applications, or assignments on behalf of students. We provide coaching, outlining, feedback, and editing guidance so students can articulate their own experiences authentically and ethically.
5. What happens during the 20-minute consultation call?
The consultation call is a strategy-focused conversation where we:
Understand the student’s goals, academic profile, and challenges
Identify gaps, risks, and opportunities
Recommend the most appropriate package or next steps
There is no pressure to sign up, and many families find clarity and value from the call alone.

Yes. Select packages offer structured payment plans to make high-quality guidance accessible while maintaining the integrity of our services. Payment terms are clearly communicated before enrollment.
9. Can you help if my child is already behind or unsure of their path?

10. Do you help with scholarships, internships, and recommendations?

Scholarship strategy and positioning
Internship and enrichment opportunities

That’s exactly what the consultation call is for. We’ll help you determine whether one of our packages—or a customized option—is the best fit based on your goals and timeline.
13. Is this only for “top” or Ivy-level students?
No. We work with students across a wide range of academic profiles. Our focus is maximizing each student’s potential and helping them find the best-fit opportunities for their goals—not forcing a single definition of success.
14. How do we get started?
Simply schedule a consultation through our website. From there, we’ll assess your needs, answer questions, and outline clear next steps—whether or not you choose to enroll.
