A Purpose-Driven Approach to College Counseling

Hi!
Jon has been helping students find their purpose and gain admission to top colleges since 2011. His holistic, unique, and proven approach has resulted in hundreds of students being accepted to the school of their dreams.
What is Telos?
τέλος (Telos) is an ancient Greek word that means “greater purpose” or “end goal.”
At Telos College Consulting, we believe that students are most successful when they:
- Understand their “greater purpose”
- Have the right “end goal” in mind
Too many students wander through high school, going through the motions, without ever really stopping to think about their greater purpose. We believe that purpose is the key to living a more fulfilling, fruitful, and successful life.
Your child deserves a path to success that’s not just about getting into college, but about finding and fulfilling their greater purpose.
What is the Telos Method™?
The Telos Method™ is a simple but powerful framework
for helping students unlock their full potential.
3. Develop
Whether it’s planning and executing a Purpose Project, developing genuine and desirable intellectual curiosity, or writing impactful college application essays, students will find themselves growing and developing in ways they didn’t think possible.
1. Diagnose
The first step of any student journey is to gain a full understanding of the student’s unique needs. Just as no two students are the same, our solutions are tailored to each student so that they can thrive in the way that’s best for them.
2. Discover
Quality results come from quality time. Jon’s favorite part about being an independent college counselor is being able to take time in getting to know his students personally. Jon is especially gifted at connecting with students and meeting them where they are, while also helping them to better understand themselves and their telos (greater purpose).
