Plain English, eight lines and one permission, and it is the whole of it. Nothing else gets added later without you signing it. Once Aristo Scholars approves you, the only other thing you write is one line in onboarding, confirming where your page gets posted.
- 1
I will show up to my meetings, on time, and I will tell the family and the firm in advance if I cannot make one.
- 2
I will do my honest best work for every student I take, and I will say so early if a student needs something I cannot give them.
- 3
I will not promise any student an admission, a scholarship or a rank, because nobody can.
- 4
I will not write a student’s essays or applications for them. The words that go in are theirs.
- 5
I will keep what a family tells me private, and I will not repeat it outside the firm.
- 6
I will not take a family off the platform, and I will not work with a family I met here privately, while we work together or for twelve months after we stop.
- 7
I will not act against Aristo Scholars, and I will keep the work in the firm’s tools so the record stays with the student.
- 8
Either of us can end this with two weeks’ notice. Work already done is still paid, on the 1st and the 15th, to the account you give us next.
The permission
I give Aristo Scholars permission to market my work in my name. In practice that means posting the intro and photo from this page in Facebook groups for parents of high school students, on the firm’s own Facebook page and Instagram, and answering a parent’s questions about me factually by text or email. The readers are parents looking for a counselor for their kid, not students.
