Committed to my clients for over three years, with hundreds of happy families guided to success.

About me:

Who is IEC?

When you hire an Independent Educational Consultant, your dedicated ally in education-someone who stands by your side, supports you in every decision you make, and helps create the best possible conditions for achieving maximum results from those decisions. Independent consultants typically have a much broader perspective due to their experience working with various families.

Additionally, they are often members of large organizations such as HECA and NACAC, which enable them to communicate with other consultants not only across the U.S. but around the globe. This allows them to leverage not just their own expertise but also the collective knowledge of the community. 

This is the greatest advantage compared to other resources, which, of course, I always highly recommend to my clients-even those not yet ready to work with me. Tools such as College Board, Common App, and other incredible resources available today provide tremendous opportunities for everyone.

Zoom meeting with me: 

My work as an Independent Educational Consultant consists of online Zoom consultations, which are conducted in one of two formats.

The first format is a one-hour session where we thoroughly review the student's portfolio, discuss their goals, and I provide recommendations on school selection or university preparation. Based on the client's needs, I develop a strategic action plan, whether it’s for choosing the best school or preparing for college applications. This session is priced at $240 per hour.

The second format is a shorter consultation where the client provides initial details, and I create a customized list of schools that match their interests and preferences. This session lasts 20 minutes and costs $70.

All sessions are conducted via Zoom, and with the client’s consent, they are recorded for future reference.

 

Additionally, my business is covered by liability insurance, ensuring professional protection for both me and my clients.

As a professional, I prioritize the best interests of the student. If you’d like to learn more about, feel free to leave a message, and I will be sure to get back to you.
