At Ara Consulting, we believe that every student’s path to higher education is unique — and so should be the guidance they receive. Our services are designed to provide end-to-end support, from the first steps of self-discovery to the moment you set foot on campus abroad.
We work closely with students and families to simplify what can often feel like a complex and overwhelming process. From understanding individual strengths and aspirations through psychometric and diagnostic testing, to crafting standout profiles and applications, our approach ensures that students present the very best version of themselves to universities worldwide.
Psychometric Testing
Structured assessments map strengths, interests, and aptitudes, giving students a data-driven base to choose subjects, shortlist courses, and plan realistic academic and career pathways.
Counseling and Mentoring
Personal mentoring builds clarity and confidence; we set milestones, track progress, and steer smarter choices through exploration, preparation, and applications.
Periodic Reviews
Regular checkpoints benchmark growth, identify gaps, and recalibrate plans; we align targets, schedules, and study focus so students stay execution-ready for critical tests and deadlines.
Profile and Resume Building
We shape activities, projects, and leadership, then craft a crisp résumé and online profile aligned to program expectations, highlighting impact, initiative, and sustained engagement.
Applications
We streamline forms, portals, timelines, recommendations, and document verification end-to-end, delivering complete, error-free submissions aligned with each university’s requirements.
Diagnostic Testing for SAT/ACT
Baseline tests reveal strengths and gaps; analytics shape a focused study plan with timed practice to deliver measurable SAT or ACT score gains.
Design Portfolio
We mentor brief selection, iteration, process documentation, and final presentation, shaping a coherent portfolio that meets creative standards and clearly demonstrates growth.
Preparing for Standardised Tests
Structured prep blends concepts, drills, and mocks; we teach strategies, pacing, and schedules to build stamina and convert practice into reliable scores.
Essays (Ideate/Review/Edit)
Collaborative storytelling that brings each student’s voice to life; we brainstorm angles, refine structure, and polish language for persuasive essays.
Strategizing
A country–college–course roadmap matched to profile and risk; we balance aspirational, match, and safe options to maximise admits and scholarships.
Financial Planning
Transparent budgeting and funding guidance; we estimate total costs, explore scholarships and loans, and time decisions to protect affordability.
Travel Assistance
End-to-end pre-departure help with visas, tickets, insurance, and checklists so students arrive prepared, confident, and stress-free.
