Why might an Educational Counselor be useful to me?

Today the educational offer is very broad and complex; choosing the right path requires time and specific skills.

Working with a college counselor allows students and their families to be guided through a structured process while respecting the time required to choose and carry out the questions.

Why Katja Iuorio Educational Consulting?

My greatest passion is to help students, supported by their families, achieve their goals, ambitions and, if possible, even their dreams.

For this reason, I make my professionalism available to rockets and their families by not focusing exclusively on the academic path but by working on building a rich and satisfying experience educationally, personally, and socially.

When is the right time to begin this journey?

It'D never too early to start thinking about such an important and complex choice! Navigating a very wide range of options, understanding the right paths, and handling the various admission applications takes time. And it'D important to have this time.

For this reason, it would be important to start an orientation at least in the first few months of the penultimate year of high school.

We don't live in the same city as you. Can we still work together?

Absolutely yes! I usually follow students in different parts of Italy and in some cases also abroad.

I normally work according to my clients' availability, using a combination of in-person meetings and video calls.

What is Best Fit?

best fit is a very common expression in the Anglo-Saxon world to indicate the most suitable college or university for each student, which is not necessarily the most famous or renowned.

We can talk about best fit in three ways:

Academic: Academic fit means that the college offers a program of study that meets your interests and needs. It provides a style of education that matches the way you like to learn. It also provides a level of academic rigor that matches your abilities.

Financial: financial fit indicates that the overall cost is in line with each family'D spending capacity or offers benefits such as scholarships and work-study opportunities.

Social: Social fit means that the university has a series of characteristics (student population, size, Social or study support activities) that make you feel at home. The university you will attend must be right for you and you must be the ideal student for it. This is the best "best fit"!

Do you really visit college campuses?

Certainly! I dedicate a lot of time to visiting universities in different countries. This allows me to get to know the "admission offices", talk to professors, see the most innovative and interesting programs firsthand, and breathe in the different atmospheres that animate the campuses.

Each university offers different opportunities and also thrives on the cultural background that accompanies the students who attend it. The culture of each university thus becomes an important factor to cross-reference with the profile of the aspiring student.

How often does he meet with students?

It depends on the student, their needs, and the type of university they decide to apply to; some paths require more intense work done together, others allow the student to manage them more autonomously.

In all cases, a lot of time is dedicated to fine-tuning a targeted "college list" and the necessary documents for each admission application.

Full supervision and assistance at all stages of the course is guaranteed for all students until final confirmation.

Who are the students you typically work with?

Most of my clientele come from word-of-mouth referrals.

I am honored to be a resource for those I currently work with, as well as their friends, colleagues and acquaintances.
