College & Graduate School Advising
Why TBG
Our consultants are respected as much by admissions directors, educators, and clinical professionals as we are by the families that we serve.
Since 1994, TBG has helped families find schools and colleges where their children encounter the right balance of challenge and encouragement to achieve their maximum potential. We help families find the right educational “fit” for their child. Again and again, we hear from families and colleagues that our knowledge, integrity, compassion, and ability to understand people and places have made a tremendous difference in children’s lives.
Unlike some firms, we limit the number of families with whom we work at any one time, so that we can consistently provide the most attentive, personal service to each family. We work across the educational continuum, often with families seeking our services at each stage of a child’s school career.
The TBG team brings to their work a variety of career and life experiences—all revealing a lifetime passion for serving young people. Each consultant brings a specialization and unique expertise to the advisory process. This gives our team a depth and breadth to advise families on the full range of educational needs and goals.
IN THEIR OWN WORDS
“They all said you are the best in the business and that we were in great hands. We agree.”--Parent
Our educational advisors facilitate every aspect of educational planning.
Education is one of the primary influences that shape children along their paths to adulthood—thus educational choices are among the most important decisions parents make. Despite a plethora of information available through websites and promotional materials, assessing the nuances that differentiate schools remains a challenge. What seem like subtle differences often become significant as they positively or negatively influence individual children.
Finding a school, college, or therapeutic program with the right formula for a student’s success is also a journey of self-discovery. It requires applicants and their parents to be candid about challenges, as well as strengths. It entails prioritizing needs, as well as goals.
We have developed strong relationships with educational institutions nationwide and globally, so we can guide families through an educational system that is far more complex, competitive, and costly than in previous generations. Meanwhile, we help emerging young adults better understand themselves as they explore fundamental questions about how they connect with the world.
Over the years, serving in numerous educational capacities, we have assisted thousands of students and families. When you work with TBG, all of this experience is brought to bear to make your individual child’s educational needs and aspirations a reality.
