Our Approach

What students are saying

  • My experience was amazing and reassuring every step of the way. I started out confused. I didn't know what to write about or how to string together all my ideas. But I always felt supported and her follow-up questions to my responses helped me dig deep into my life to construct a personal statement… Working with Georgina is beneficial no matter where you are in the college application process. I started when I had no essays and no personal statement. I just had an idea of what I wanted to write about and she helped me brainstorm an outline and suggest I go deeper into some aspects and include consequences and personal strengths to strengthen my essay. Georgina was also extremely helpful with getting on track for supplementals. Initially, I had read tons of example supplementals online and even watched Youtube videos on how to write them. But it was still hard for me to get started or make sure that what I was writing was actually good. Georgina was really helpful with helping me structure my supplementals and include aspects that would help me stand out to the school and really show schools that I am a good fit for a specific college or major. Sometimes it was hard to hear criticism about an essay that I thought was perfect, but Georgina's criticism is always specific and constructive. There would be days where not a single one of my essays were "approved", which was really frustrating, but this ultimately helped me become a better writer and learn how to structure supplementals so that I was able to write them on my own and get feedback on how to strengthen them.

  • When I first started, I was very confused on where to start on my essays, and I basically had no idea what to write about. Working together was a very helpful experience because it helped me understand what I had to improve on my essays. This included things like brainstorming, grammatical corrections, and adding/removing sections to maximize the effectiveness of the essay in displaying who I really am. I really appreciated the lessons because Georgina listened and supported me, asked questions, and most importantly taught me how to dig deeper into my personal experiences. Having an extra set of experienced eyes look over what you have written makes a huge difference, as she may catch something that you may have missed. Georgina really helped me turn my essay into a story that tells admission officers who I am.

  • The requirements I had when searching for someone to help me edit my college essays included someone who could: spice up my essays to make them appealing and motivate me even when senioritis began to hit. Georgina matched these requests and even went further as to helping me develop my writing style. She taught me how to storytell in my writing, enveloping people into the setting and emotions involved in every decision. The essays Georgina helped me write weren't just successful in getting me into my dream schools, I also used them for competitive club applications when I started at UCLA. I can unbelievably say, I have never gotten rejected after a club essay round… People like to read about your passion and Georgina helps you show them that. I've loved my experience at UCLA so far… In my clubs, people always ask how to write their essays to get in, and I always tell them what I learned from her…Genuinely, I feel so lucky I was able to work with Georgina… it was a perfect fit and I feel like I was finally able to grasp the words I needed to say.

  • “When college apps started up, I was very nervous, especially when it came to the essays. I felt the college counselling program at my school couldn’t provide the in-depth assistance that I really needed. I was also applying to art school, which made my application process a little different than most. Georgina was the perfect mentor. We would meet up once a week to go through my essays, with her giving constructive feedback that helped me better communicate my thoughts. She also helped me with my art portfolio and gave me advice on how to organize and title each piece. I ended up with an essay that I was very proud of and I couldn’t have done it without Georgina. I realized that, even after our sessions ended, a lot of the writing habits she instilled have stayed with me and influenced the way that I write to this day. I am very grateful for all of her advice and encouragement and I can’t recommend her enough.”

For over five years, I’ve helped students craft compelling college applications that showcase their unique stories.

I’ve worked with students across the board, from 9th graders exploring their interests to grad school applicants refining their goals. My students have been accepted to top schools like Yale, Cornell, and UPenn, but my ultimate goal is helping you land at a school where you’ll feel challenged, supported, and excited about your future.

My approach is about discovering your authentic voice, identifying what makes you stand out, and crafting a narrative that resonates with the reader. The students who embrace this process don’t just end up at great schools, they step into their next chapter with confidence, purpose, and direction.
