Education Consultancy

An education consultant is an independent consultant who helps parents and students with educational planning. The main difference between educational consultant and school counselor is that Educational Consultants are normally self-employed, while school counselors are employed by a school.

Education consultants may be generalists, but most tend to specialize with particular kinds of students, or students with particular kind of needs.

Education consultants generally work on a fee for service basis, paid by the families they serve. Leading education consulting company’s offer a wide range of tailor-made training and consultancy packages aimed at helping schools to deliver the core offer through effective partnerships with other agencies in their local communities. They can help set up registered charities or not-for-profit companies as charitable arms to schools, if needed. They can also prepare your business plan or feasibility study for revenue or capital project.

Some Education consultants help organisations to secure large sums of money to fund capital projects. They provide a comprehensive service from start to finish, from an initial health check on readiness to launch an appeal or a fundraising feasibility study through to full campaign management, ‘hands on’ fundraising, mentoring, training and ongoing support.

Planning and preparation are the keys to success when running a capital appeal and capital appeals team helps clients to follow a proven route. Having years of fundraising experience with a wide range of organisations and making use of extensive in-house resources including research and bid-writing teams, education consultants provide a range of services which span the whole capital appeal process

Let's play with words !!

Learning the 'Word Lists' is a big problem for students. Here,we can discuss and follow some strategies and become 'Wordsmith'. First of all, don't go for the rote learning or 'rattafication' as they call it. Always try to understand the meanings of the words. Most of the words may have more than one meanings. Study all the meanings minutely as many of them can be tricky. Keeping all the meanings of a certain word in mind may be a real challenge. But DONT run away. Take the bull by its horns instead. Plan and follow a well-defined strategy. You can form sentences mentally in order to remember different meanings of different words. In case of adjectives, you can personify them i.e. you can allot the adjectives to certain persons whom you know. Don't worry, s/he will never know it. You are doing everything mentally.

Secondly, do not depend on only one or two sources for your words .Learn them from different sources viz. newspapers, magazines, books, flash cards, etc. There is a very good book in the market to improve word power. It's called ' Word Power Made Easy' written by Norman Lewis. Watching good T.V. channels like CNN or BBC is also a good idea. Just keep your sensors alert, you will learn a lot in the process. Last but not the least, while going through ' Word Lists ' of any good book like 'Barron's, you should revise them periodically. I will elaborate this point through an example. Barron's GRE has fifty word lists. I recomend ten word lists in the first week. Once you have completed ten of them, revise those ten and then go ahead. Complete next ten in the second week. After two weeks, you will have completed twenty word lists. Again revise those twenty and so on. Thus, by the end of five weeks you will have completed and revised all the fifty word lists. However, don't stop even after completing all the fifty word lists. If you don't practice them, you will forget them very fast. So in order not to forget those words and to learn many more new words, read. Thus, you will come across the words you have learnt and they will remain with you for the rest of your lives. Further, use the words on daily basis in your writings and conversations. Take my word for it. Work in a planned manner and it will pay very handsome rewards. All the best.........
