Counseling Team

Nixor College Foundation Program

Counseling Team

A Levels is a time of significant change and transition in a student’s life. They face a multitude of decisions – about career choices, fields of study, extra-curricular programs, and university selections. It is these choices that shape the subsequent trajectory of their lives. These decisions require multiple sources of information, sound critical thinking, and decisive judgment. Counselors at Nixor College are qualified and experienced professionals who guide and support students to make appropriate choices about their academic as well as professional careers. We strongly believe that all our students have unquestionable abilities; all they need is the conscious endeavor, and our team of experienced counselors aims to do just that – help them help themselves.
