Here are some additional actual student testimonials.
“Thank you so much, Linda, for all your advice and guidance. It's been a pleasure working with you and getting to know you.”
Jenny U. - Souderton Area High School; High Point University
“I credit Linda with much of my success during the college process and beyond. She was able to extract the meaning from my ideas then help me craft them into concise, compelling essays. She is extremely kind and easy to work with, in addition to being very patient. I refer applicants to Linda all the time, with the hopes that they will receive the same guidance that I did. I couldn’t think of a better tutor during the college process!”
Elana W. - Abington High School; University of Pennsylvania
“Working with Linda was both a privilege and a blessing. Before working with her, I found it very hard to organize my thoughts for my college essays. She worked with me step- by-step, helping me shape my writing into what I wanted to convey. I owe much of my success for my college acceptances to Linda. I believe that anyone struggling with finding a way to put words on the page should work with her.”
Widchard F. - Central High School; Philadelphia; Drexel University
“Linda made the process of brainstorming ideas for the college essay process less stressful. She set realistic goals for each session. I felt very comfortable sharing my ideas with her. Sometimes, we would talk on the phone, which made it possible for me to attend sports activities. I now feel more confident when I take essay tests and write papers for school. Within a month of filing my applications, I was accepted to one of my top two schools.”
Corey H. - Pennsbury High School; Penn State University
“Linda was a great help during my hectic graduate school application process. While I had ideas about what I wanted to write, I had trouble at times expressing them on paper. Linda helped me to create essays that were mine.”
Andrew L. - Lynn University
“Linda made the process efficient and manageable, which is typically something that everyone dreads doing. She helped me come up with ideas that I would have never thought of on my own. Linda was also easy to talk to. Having someone other than a family member help me with this process made me more comfortable. I was admitted to my first choice school early decision, Lehigh University.”
Justin B. - Atlantic City High School
“I worry how things would have turned out had I not worked with Linda George. I had general ideas, but Linda helped me think about a topic that truly described me. It was something I never expected to ever write about, but was the most self-describing topic I could ever imagine. Linda analyzed my essays with a fine tooth comb, helping me realize weak sentences and points needing elaboration. After many drafts, I not only completed fantastic essays, but I feel as though I grew as a writer, as well. I started my senior year knowing my essays were done. Linda’s organization and high standards helped me to feel so much more confident in my applications. I was accepted Early Decision to Emory, my first choice.”
Elyssa B. - Mainland Regional High School
“I learned more about writing from Linda than I did in my 12 years of education. Linda's help not only improved my college essays, but she also provided me with the tools to write all types of essays and to receive multiple scholarships.”
Max S. - Atlantic City High School
“I can't say enough positives about Linda George. Writing was never my strongest skill, but she made perfecting my college essays easy and painless. I finished sooner than I could have hoped. Linda helped make my writing concise, clearer, and easier to understand.”
Rachel L. - Margate, NJ
“Linda has a truly wonderful methodology. She didn’t tell me, 'This is what colleges want to see and what you need to emulate.' She works from within - she gets to know you, what you want, how you truly want to articulate yourself, and helps you do just that. I felt so much success and ownership over my finished product. I was confident that it was as honest and original as I am. And the admissions committees noticed it too: I received offers of admission, with full funding and a stipend, from 4 doctoral programs.”
Molly A. - Elkins Park, PA
“I have always had an affinity for writing; however, when I needed to write my college essay, I knew what I wanted to say, but lacked the confidence to do so. Linda took a seemingly impossible task and made it easy. By exposing my strengths, she guided me to write "Me.” Next fall, I will be going to Muhlenberg College with a huge scholarship. Without Linda’s mentoring, I do not think I would have been as successful.”
Jen F. - Melrose Park, PA
“Linda literally helped me get through my senior year the hardest year of high school. She helped push me to complete my applications diligently because she genuinely wanted the best from me. I know I would not have been able to do as good of a job without Linda’s input.”
Maggie G. - Elkins Park PA
“I waited until the last minute to begin the college application process, yet Linda helped to steer me in the right direction. In fact, my first choice, Lafayette, even referred to my essay in its personalized acceptance letter! Not only did Linda guide me with the application process, but she also taught me about writing skills. I now know how to express myself better.”
Max W. - Margate, NJ
“I met with Linda during my junior year of high school because I needed to boost my writing skills. Our sessions were always fun and never boring.”
Monika R. - Lansdale, PA, (Methacton High School)
“After my first session with Linda, I felt more confident about my ideas. My two months of meeting with her were truly a pleasurable and a memorable experience.”
Jessica C. - Upper Dublin High School; New York University
“Before I worked with Linda, my ideas were all over the place, preventing me from writing anything. Linda helped me to develop an essay that was original. Working with Linda was one of my best decisions during the college application process.”
Benjamin A. - Cheltenham High School; Tufts University
“Linda was such an encouraging teacher, not only because she helped me process my ideas, but also because she took the time to understand me. Consequently, I developed more confidence, as well as a deeper friendship that still remains.”
Amanda B. - Cheltenham High School; University of West Virginia
