Statement on Philosophy and Practices

College Beginnings, LLC was established to meet the needs of those families who desire a college degree for their child but who need help deciding which college might be best. Finding the right school or college is one of the most important decisions a family will make. A correct choice will enrich and enhance a student’s life, and can impact his or her future. All consultation is tailor-made to meet each client’s specific needs and goals. Charges vary according to the needs of the client and are discussed fully during the introductory appointment.

The first step is a meeting with the student and family to identify needs and determine goals. Information is gathered through interviews with the family together and the parents and student separately. After that, we review your student’s educational records and make recommendations for testing and/or tutoring as needed.

With the needs of the student in mind, and after studying a range of appropriate options, recommendations are made on educational environments that best meet the student’s personal and academic criteria. The parents and student are provided with those recommendations and it becomes their responsibility to make appointments, visit colleges, complete applications (with appropriate assistance) and maintain contact with the consultant.

The services provided by College Beginnings, LLC are meant to enhance any other resources already in place. Though not a requisite, College Beginnings, LLC is committed in working together with the student’s family, tutors, school, guidance counselor, or other professionals in order to gain the greatest perspective and best selections possible. In all cases, full confidentiality is maintained in accordance with the law and under the request of the student and/or parents. Information, including a student’s name, will be released only with specific written consent from the student (or the parents if the student is under 18).

Finally, College Beginnings, LLC cannot guarantee the acceptance or selection of any student by a school, college or program, nor can there be any guarantee of the success of the student in the chosen setting. For that reason, we will not make any specific endorsements of students for acceptance at any particular school, college or university. We do not accept fees from institutions or programs for the referral or placement of a client. Our primary obligation is the welfare of the student.
