How does Milestone College Consulting personalize its services?
Personalization is one of our many strengths. We begin by exploring your academic background, learning style, and goals, assessing, for example, your English proficiency relative to the rest of the test-taking population, academic strengths and weaknesses, and intended major(s) in college. Based on this, we create a tailored plan that addresses your specific needs and aspirations with an emphasis on both short-term score improvements and long-term intellectual growth.
What standardized tests can Milestone College Consulting help with?
We provide preparation for a variety of standardized tests, including the SSAT, SAT, ACT, IELTS, TOEFL, and GRE.

Additionally, prospective piano performance majors, specifically, can prepare for auditions under our guidance.

What is Milestone College Consulting’s approach to test preparation?
Our test prep strategy is threefold: mastering the content, perfecting the test-taking strategy, and developing an intellectual curiosity we consider essential for enhancing not only test scores but the mind itself. We strike a balance between achieving short-term “growth spurts” in score improvements and long-term internalization of skills and knowledge.
How does the college selection process work with Milestone College Consulting?
We take a personalized approach to college selection by considering your academic performance, interests, and career goals. We also factor in campus culture, location, and financial considerations to help you find the best fit.
What is the cost of Milestone College Consulting’s services?
Regardless of the services offered, each student is billed NT$1200 per hour for individual sessions, because we believe it is our responsibility to ensure the same quality of service for everyone regardless of academic level. However, the costs of group sessions do vary based on the number of students enrolled. Please contact us for a detailed pricing structure.
Do you offer any guarantees of success?
While we cannot guarantee specific outcomes, such as admission to a particular college or a certain test score, we are committed to providing the highest quality service and guidance to significantly improve your chances of success. That said, we can guarantee academic improvement if and only if you complete all assignments and give your 100%. (That entails no procrastination, last-minute completions, slapdash jobs filled with typos, or lack of proofreading.)
