"Linda was invaluable in my daughter's college application process in helping her to find her authentic voice in her personal essays, and keeping her accountable to complete the sometimes overwhelming number of essays that she needed to complete. What we really appreciated was Linda's commitment to having the essays reflect my daughter's true personality and providing genuine support and caring through a process that can be a real rollercoaster of emotions. Thank you for your unwavering support through the process, Linda!”

- Michelle A. - Lower Gwynedd, PA

“Linda George is amazing. She walked my son through his essay step by step. He is not a fan of writing. Linda was able to develop a relationship with him and push him when needed. Everything was positive reinforcement. His father and I were thrilled when we read the essay. We will be using Linda again when my daughter is ready for college.”

- Lisa B. - Northfield, NJ

“Thank you so much in assisting my daughter through this process. You helped her stay focused and confident in writing her essays and completing her college applications.”

- Michele M. - Linwood, NJ

“Linda’s work with my son to develop a college essay, resume, and responses to supplemental college application questions were fantastic! She helped him dig deep within himself to craft a well-written essay that reflected his strength, compassion, and determination, and working on the resume helped him recognize his academic and personal strengths. While being kind and sensitive to his stress levels, Linda held my son to deadlines, made him accountable, and helped him assume full responsibility for the college application process. He came away with great applications and will be attending his first choice college, but just as importantly through working with Linda he experienced personal growth, a renewed sense of self, and increased confidence that will help him in the years to come. I also plan to have Linda work with our younger children when the time comes.”

- Sara A. - Princeton, NJ

“Linda developed a strong liaison with my son in a very short time, which allowed him to booster his writing skills, generate confidence in his academic skills, as well as to discover hidden topics of his life experience with us and the rest of our family. The final essay was a genuine piece of his personality and for sure was a key driver to accomplish his goal to be accepted in Johns Hopkins in early December, 2017.”

- Jose T. - Belle Mead, NJ

“Linda George is a master at her craft. She developed a unique relationship with my son and was able to help him craft an essay that completely stunned me when I read it. It was thoughtful, heartfelt and personal along with being well written and put together. It truly captured who he was in the best possible way. The deadlines Linda sets teaches your child responsibility and accountability. It is such a relief to know that the essay is finished and we are well on our way in the college process. Her skills and talent are highly recommended. Thank you Linda!”

- Debra A. - Northfield, NJ

“Linda did a phenomenal job of working with our son to bring his unique story – his quest to find his birth family in Russia – into a well-written and captivating college admissions essay. She really helped him find his voice and bring it out in his essay. I appreciated the deadlines she set for him and the structure her process provided him as a gifted student who has ADD. His essay was completed by September and his acceptances started arriving in early November. It was a relief to know that “the dreaded essay” was off the checklist and so well-received by colleges.”

- Leza R. - Abington, PA

“We can’t say enough about Linda George. Her ability to move both our daughters through the college essay process was fabulous. Our girls are very different, yet Linda still met each of their needs because Linda has the ability to get to know children. Since she values developing a relationship with our girls, Linda helped them foster their creativity to compose essays that uniquely defined them. She listened when they spoke, evaluated their strengths and weaknesses, and provided compassion and support during a very emotional time. She has a clear understanding of the pressure students face during the college process, while still guiding them to think positively. She gave our girls realistic deadlines, while still understanding their demanding schedules. Linda was always available for a phone call, if needed. Furthermore, because Linda coached my daughters so well, their writing skills vastly improved.”

- Allison & Jim G. - Merion, PA

“Linda George masterfully and quickly assesses each student’s strengths. She cultivates a trusting relationship that fosters creativity and self-confidence – all while under pressure.

Linda became a member of our family and allowed our children to bring out the best in themselves.”

- Joy S. - Wyncote, PA

“I want to send words of thanks and heartfelt praise for Linda’s work with my daughter this past summer. I didn't know what to expect about my daughter working with an English coach, but I was pleasantly surprised by the personal feel Linda brought to the process. She was kind and sensitive to my daughter, who thought she had a clear vision of the college essay she should write; however, after one session with Linda, it became clear that she encouraged my daughter to dig deeper within herself to write the essay she was born to write! The writing process and scheduled work times were convenient, and Linda’s mentoring helped my daughter stick to guidelines with all of her application deadlines. Linda’s attention to detail is outstanding. I feel grateful to her for such a positive experience.”

- Karen U. - Harleysville, PA

Surely, this will help when he goes to college.”

Terry H. - Yardley, PA

“The help my son received from Linda during his high school years not only improved his writing skills, but also helped with his organizational and writing skills. He’s now looking forward to going to his college of choice. In addition, Linda was a wonderful support when I had to spend a month out of town, due to a medical emergency. She went far beyond what most teachers would have done. Any young person is in good hands with Linda.”

All applications were submitted way before their deadlines. Thanks to Linda, my daughter was accepted to every school she applied to!”

Wendy S. - Ardmore, PA

Margaret M. - North Wales, PA

“As a college professor with more than 20 years of experience teaching and mentoring students, I was impressed with Linda's ability to motivate my daughter Ellie, and help her find her voice. Linda also helped my daughter do a better job of balancing the demands of getting her school work done, while really learning the craft of writing. I have already asked her to work with my next college-bound child.”
