Who We Are

ForWord Consulting LLC is a small company of independent college admissions counselors and educational consultants located inside the Northern Virginia beltway. 



​

Cathy Ganley, ForWord Consulting's owner, has a background steeped in higher education. She understands the admissions process and hand holds each client through it, from choosing colleges, creating a working resume, preparing for the SATs/ACTs, completing applications, understanding financial aid, and applying for scholarships. ​

What We Do

​ForWord Consulting builds relationships to help your family meet its academic goals. We do this by asking questions, listening, creating plans, and encouraging your children in their pursuit of their academic goals, with as little family stress as possible.  

Where We Work

Our educational consultants and admissions coaches realize that student and family time is valuable. So ForWord comes to your house or location of your choice. No worries about traffic and working around basketball, cheerleading, drama or dance practice.
