Benefits of Hiring a College Consultant
The college application process is extremely competitive and difficult to navigate. Being accepted to your top five colleges is daunting. College consultants provide services with varying price ranges. The selection process of a consultant can be intimidating. Determining your student’s education needs is priority one while considering the delivery of programs online or in person.
A great way to begin the process is to evaluate the consultant’s professional experience i.e. years of experience, resources and connections to colleges, work with secondary students, positions held at the college admissions level, years of teaching experience or referrals from students and families. A professional College Advising Service advisor focuses on your student’s education needs, creates a personalized delivery of instruction and provides numerous programs to meet your financial budget without breaking the bank.

“The city of Brockton, MA needs no introduction as the hardships young people endure are widely known. My story is no different and it was thanks to Mr. Doucette’s college advising program that I can now look back and see how his guidance, demeanor and outright positive outlook for my future propelled me to be the successful man that I am today. He opened the doors of colleges outside my purview, helped me shape my story into powerful college applications and was a sounding board when life tried to steer me off course.”
“Mark has a great understanding and empathy with the education issues and, as a colleague at Promethean, was dedicated to his job. He developed great relationships with his customers and with his colleagues. I recommend him to any employer in the education field.”
“Mr. Mark Doucette aka “Mr. D” is so many things: strong, intelligent, caring, motivating, professional and a great friend. When I talk about how I’ve gotten to this successful place in my career I always mention him, as he is one of the key people that helped me get to where I am now. His drive and determination for all his students to succeed was so pure and honest that I personally did not want to fail him or myself. Mr. D has not only been my teacher but he truly has become a dear friend to me and my family.”
“Through Mark’s unwavering guidance, support, and knowledge of the college advisory process, I was able to increase my SAT/ACT scores exponentially – but more importantly, allowing for myself, and my family, a smooth college application process. His personable nature and diligence is unmatched and I am grateful to have worked with him as I have gained a mentor and friend for my future endeavors.”
“I’ve known Mark for many years and can and will speak very highly of his professionalism. Mark worked with my son on his college essay and applications. My son just graduated HS and will be attending UMASS Amherst in the Fall. Mark was able to get my son focused with a plan that had to be followed in order to meet the deadlines that were ahead of my son.”
“Mr. Doucette was very instrumental in helping me navigate the entire college application process. Being the first in my family to attend college, his knowledge and willingness to help has had a profound impact on me to this day. As a parent, I can only wish for an educator such as Mark Doucette to work with my own children with the same level of knowledge, compassion and enthusiasm.”
“As a student, I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Doucette. He is hardworking, personable, professional and someone you always want on your team. As the first child in my family to attend college, applications seemed incredibly daunting, but through Mr. Doucette’s program, I experienced a smooth application process. Mr. Doucette has opened so many doors for me and I am so lucky to call him one of my mentors.”
