The goal of consultation sessions is not to simply share college readiness strategies with students and their families; we aim to help teens find the individualized value, purpose, and meaning behind their college preparatory actions. When helping a student develop a plan for success, Woolfolk Works aims to:
- Provide students with a variety of relevant topics (the “What”)
- Describe the usefulness of each of these topics (the “Why”)
- Explain the most effective timing for completing certain tasks (the “When”)
- Illustrate the steps required to accomplish these tasks (the “How”)
- Uniquely personalize the plan for the specific student (the “Who”)
We administer one-on-one consultations for creating customized strategies and personally tailored plan of action. We also have group consultations available in order to provide general strategies at a lower cost.
