Your First Step with PrimoEd: What Happens During a Free Consultation?

May 29, 2025

Considering studying abroad is a major decision, and choosing the right guidance is the first crucial step. At PrimoEd, we offer a free, no-obligation 30-minute consultation designed to be the starting point of your journey – the 'Discovery' phase of our 8-D Approach. But what actually happens during this call, what value does it provide, and how can you make the most of it?

Purpose of the Consultation: Mutual Understanding & Fit Assessment

The primary goal of this initial session is twofold, focusing on establishing a foundation of trust and understanding:

For PrimoEd to Understand You: We aim to get a preliminary but insightful understanding of your academic background (grades, relevant coursework), your specific study abroad goals (target countries like USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Germany; desired fields of interest), your approximate budget and timeline, and any specific questions or concerns you have regarding the international application process from Turkey.

For You to Understand PrimoEd: This is your opportunity to learn directly about PrimoEd's unique student-first philosophy, our strict ethical approach (absolutely no university commissions), our structured 8-D methodology that covers the entire journey, and our team's distinctive expertise combining direct international academic experience with deep financial insights relevant to Turkish families. You can see our team's credentials for more detail. We'll also briefly outline how our tailored service packages might align with your specific needs.

Ultimately, this consultation is about determining if PrimoEd is the right partner to guide you effectively and ethically on your international education path, ensuring a strong foundation for a potential collaboration.

What PrimoEd Typically Discusses During the Call:

Your Academic Profile Snapshot: Current studies (High School/University), approximate GPA/grades, key subjects of interest, academic strengths.

Study Abroad Aspirations: Desired level of study (Bachelor's, Master's, PhD), preferred field(s), initial thoughts on target countries, long-term career ambitions.

Experiences & Activities: A brief overview of significant extracurricular activities, leadership roles, internships, or relevant work experience.

Language Proficiency Status: Any existing English test scores (TOEFL/IELTS) or German proficiency levels, and plans or needs for further testing.

Practical Considerations: Realistic discussion about your intended start date (e.g., Fall 2026 intake) and approximate budget range for tuition and living expenses.

Your Key Questions Answered: This is a dedicated time for you to ask PrimoEd anything about the application process, specific country requirements, potential challenges (like visa finances), or details about our services and approach.

PrimoEd's Value Proposition: We'll clearly explain our 8-D Approach, our student-first ethical stance (no commissions), and how our specific expertise benefits Turkish applicants compared to traditional agencies.

Clear Next Steps: If there's mutual interest and we believe we can genuinely help you, we'll outline the recommended next steps, including potential service package options tailored to your needs and an explanation of the subsequent 'Diagnosis' phase (which involves a detailed profile analysis if you proceed with a package).

How to Prepare (Optional but Recommended):

While not mandatory, having some information readily available can make the consultation even more productive and personalized:

Have unofficial copies of your transcripts (High School/university) easily accessible if possible (no need to send beforehand unless requested).

Note down any standardized test scores (TOEFL, IELTS, SAT, GRE) you already have.

Prepare a short list of your most important questions to ensure they get addressed.

Think briefly about your main academic interests, career goals, and your top 1-2 preferred study destinations.

What You Gain from the Free PrimoEd Consultation:

By the end of the 30-minute session, you should have:

A clear understanding of PrimoEd's unique, ethical, and expert-driven approach tailored for Turkish students.

Initial, honest feedback on the feasibility of your preliminary goals and target countries based on our experience.

Direct answers to your most pressing initial questions about the international application landscape.

A clear understanding of the next steps involved and potential service options if you decide PrimoEd is the right fit for you.
