Help your students go further, with a partner you can vouch for
Counsellors and consultants send students to Aldevere when the next step is real academic work: a supervised research project, guided reading, and writing the student can stand behind. We assess fit at interview, say so when the answer is no, and keep you informed with the family's consent. Everything you need to decide is on this page. The form at the end arranges a conversation.
Materials to share with students and families
A brochure for families, a student flyer, an A3 poster and a short introduction you can copy, with a guide to which students each programme suits.
What to know before you recommend us
Six things a counsellor usually asks, answered without a call. If any of them needs a conversation, the form at the end is for that.
What we do
One-to-one research mentorship, and Field Seminars for one to three students, for university-bound students. A mentor in the student's field guides the question, the reading, the structure and the revision. The work stays the student's.
Who it suits
Students with evidence of academic work they chose to do, who can describe what interests them within a subject, and who have weekly capacity alongside their current term. Readiness weighs more heavily than grades.
What they produce
On the Research Scholar track, a student-authored project over eight weeks or more: a defined research question and a written piece the student can discuss in an interview or a personal statement. Field Seminars build research literacy and academic direction.
Our integrity position
Mentors guide questions, reading, evidence, structure and feedback. They do not write for students. Our academic integrity policy is public, and you can point families to it.
Read the policyFees and scholarships
Research Scholar is $6,500, a Field Seminar $4,500 and Academic Essentials, a custom plan, from $2,000, each covering the whole programme with no paid add-ons. The fee is confirmed in writing after the interview. Scholarships are awarded by nomination, on the strength of a student's own work, and a counsellor who knows a student well may put them forward. If you are supporting a student of exceptional ability whose family could not meet the fee, write to us using the form below.
How scholarships workHow you are kept informed
With the family's consent, you hear the recommended programme, the reasoning behind the mentor match, and how the student is progressing. If we think a student should not enrol yet, you hear that too.
A simple, transparent process
01
Introduce the student, or talk to us first
Send the family to apply, or use the form below to speak with us before anything is promised to a student. Either way, we can coordinate with you from the start.
02
We assess fit at interview
A short interview to understand the student's readiness, interests and goals. We recommend the right programme, or a better starting point, and we say so if the answer is not yet.
03
You stay informed
With family consent, we keep you updated on the recommended programme and the student's progress, so the referral strengthens your relationship with the family rather than ending it.
What referring to Aldevere gives you
A clear fit assessment
Every referred student is assessed on readiness, and we recommend the track that matches: Research Scholar, Field Seminars, Academic Essentials, or a pause until the student is ready.
Transparency throughout
With the family's consent you are kept in the loop on the recommendation, the mentor match and the student's progress. You are never guessing what happened after the referral.
A position you can stand behind
Student-authored work, a public integrity policy, and no admissions promises. You can recommend us without caveats.
A complement to your work
We build academic substance: research skills, a focused project, intellectual direction. It sits alongside the application guidance you already provide rather than competing with it.
The answers you will be asked for
Do you pay referral fees?
It depends who you are. If you work for a school, no. Most school-based counsellors cannot accept them, and we would not put you in that position. If you work independently, as a consultant or an agency, we run a referral partner programme with a written agreement, and we are glad to talk it through on a call. Either way, a student you refer is assessed the same way, and whether a student was referred never affects fit or the award of a scholarship.
What will you tell a family I send to you?
Which programme fits the student, and why. Admission is by a short interview; afterwards the family receives the recommended programme, the schedule and the fee in writing. If the timing is wrong, for example in the middle of exams, we say so and suggest when to return. With the family's consent you hear the recommendation as well.
Is the work genuinely the student's own?
Yes. Mentors guide questions, reading, evidence, structure and feedback, and the writing is the student's. Our academic integrity policy is public. If a family asks you whether this is ghostwriting, the answer is no, and you can show them why.
What does it cost?
Research Scholar is $6,500, a Field Seminar $4,500 and Academic Essentials, a custom plan, from $2,000, each covering the whole programme with no paid add-ons. The fee is confirmed in writing after the interview, and the family is under no obligation once they have it. Scholarships are awarded by nomination, on the strength of the student's own work.
Do you make claims about admissions outcomes?
No. We say what the student will produce and what they will be able to talk about. We do not promise offers, and we would ask you not to on our behalf.
Can I use your free tools with students?
Yes. The UCAS, IB and US readiness checks and the programme finder are free, need no sign-up, and are built to be used in a meeting. Many counsellors run them with a student before deciding whether to mention us at all.
