Our Approach

What students are saying

  • 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.”

  • When I first started working on my college applications, I had no idea where to start. My parents didn’t have much experience with the process and my school counselor wasn’t very good, so I was really overwhelmed trying to figure it out on my own. I found out about Georgina through a friend who worked with her before, and I’m so glad I did. She made everything feel manageable and walked me through each step of the process: building my college list, filling out applications, working on my essays, and applying for scholarships. She also really helped me understand what each essay prompt was looking for, so I felt like I was well-prepared on that part. Throughout the process, she always kept me motivated and on track. Whether it was revising essays for the tenth time or just helping me manage my stress, she was always there when I needed it. Looking back, I’m really proud of the applications I submitted, and I know I couldn’t have gotten in to the schools I did without her help.

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.
