Questions
Common questions parents ask about guidance
Can parents enquire without the student?
Yes. Many parents begin the conversation alone to understand the landscape and what might be right for their child. Marianne welcomes parent-only discussions and can help you think through the bigger picture before involving your child in more detailed planning.
What if we're still unsure which service?
That uncertainty is exactly what parent guidance addresses. This service helps you clarify whether your child needs undergraduate support, masters planning, PhD guidance, or early international school preparation. You don't need to know the answer before starting.
Is this helpful at an early stage?
Very much so. Early clarity prevents confusion later and helps families make more informed decisions about timing and direction. Starting early also gives you time to think without pressure.
How does this differ from admissions?
Parent guidance focuses on clarity and direction. Admissions services focus on essays, applications, and strategy. This comes first, helping you understand what your child needs before moving into detailed admissions work.
When should we start?
There's no wrong time. Some families begin in secondary school, others when university choices are approaching. The right time is when you feel you need more clarity or reassurance about the next step.
