What does an educational consultant do at Cardinal Education?

An educational consultant at Cardinal Education works directly with students and families to help them achieve academic and admissions goals. This includes advising on private school, boarding school, and college applications, preparing them for admissions tests (SSAT, ISEE, HSPT, SAT, ACT), coaching students through interviews, brainstorming for essays, and helping them develop effective study strategies. Consultants also collaborate with our internal team to design customized admissions strategies for each client. While much of the role involves education, it also requires business skills such as project management, client communication, and strategic planning. The result is a career that’s intellectually stimulating, personally rewarding, and financially competitive compared to traditional education roles.
