Boglia counseling

Build students’s vocational profiles and decide on their professional future.

What we do

A holistic approach to educational support and planning

I am an independent educational consultant that helps students design their vocational path based on their potential, and guides them to build and achieve their goals, offering every student the best national and international training opportunity and the most diverse experiences that will allow them to develop comprehensively.

My mission is to help students get to know themselves. It is a journey of self-exploration with amazing opportunities that will open the door to an exciting future. I measure my success on a student’s accomplishments and pride at the end of the process.

Educational coaching

I will help students build their vocational profiles and decide on their professional future. Don’t know what to study? Have you ever wondered what your purpose is?
‍
The process:

1. Know yourself

Using different evaluation resources such as psychological tests and in-depth interviews, I help students identify their skills, strengths, interests and motivations as we build together their vocational profiles.
‍

2. Reflect on your profile

Over a series of sessions, we will discuss the student’s vocational profile, analyze in depth the results, and think with the students about the possible paths toward their future.
‍

3. Build your way

Together we will draw up an itinerary that brings students closer to fulfilling their dreams and connects them with their passions.

University advising and counseling on university placement

Using a holistic approach to university counseling, I start by understanding everything there is to know about the students. Of course, we’ll cover the basics – current classes, test scores, and extracurriculars – but I go so much deeper than that. I want to understand who the individual student is as a person – what their childhood was like, their life ambitions, what the students do for fun, and more. This way I can tailor make a specific program that will only fit a particular student.

It’s important to choose a range of schools that match the student’s interests and balance his chances of getting in. Together, we’ll research schools that fit into a complete admissions strategy. This may include schools that offer great financial aid for your unique situation, special programs for your interests, and schools that are a perfect fit.

The process:
‍

1. Timeline Management

Managing multiple college applications with their unique deadlines and requirements can be frustrating. I make it easy for the student, tracking every task that is needed to finish and making sure the student has plenty of time to spare.

2. Different components

Each application has multiple steps – including planning, brainstorming, editing, and finalizing – and I will make sure the student is on track every step of the way.

3. Together we will draft a plan for the whole process.

Holistic student status review. School selection strategy. Timeline management. Full essay service for every school. Full application review before submission. Interview strategy. Financial aid negotiation. Waitlist and rejection strategy. Final school decision.
