Very knowledgeable and kind tutor

Good coach - helped daughter improve essay without taking over
First of all she was quite responsive. My daughter liked the most was the iterative process and recieving ideas on how to improve the essay. In the process, my daughter felt she completed the essay without losing it's essence.
Mohammed, 6 lessons with Gi GiTutor responded:Working with your daughter has been a delight! I think I learned more from her than she learned from me. I can't wait to hear about her college acceptances and where she will ultimately attend. Any school would be lucky to have such an amazing young woman!
Extremely helpful editor!
GiGi was amazing. Her editing skills for my dissertation were extremely thorough and comprehensive. She has an incredible eye for detail and she was very efficient in getting the final draft back to me, despite it being a very long manuscript. All of her edits strengthened my work and I am grateful to have been able to work with her. I highly recommend Gigi for anyone who has any written work, such as college essays or dissertations.
Christopher, 3 lessons with Gi GiTutor responded:Christopher, Thank you for your kind words. I think I told you- I am a total dissertation nerd! I LOVE reviewing dissertations because I always learn something. Congratulations, Dr. Christopher!
The Best there is!
GiGi is so responsive and her edits and suggestions are exactly what my HS student needs. My daughter has a learning disability and GiGi has the ability to communicate with her to where she understands what needs to be done. With GiGi’s help on her college essay, she was accepted into all of her choices. I highly recommend her.

essay writing
My son is a high school senior applying to colleges this year, and he hasn’t been very motivated to write until his lesson with Gigi. After meeting Gigi, I could see sparks in his eyes. He was genuinely happy to have met someone as cool and inspiring as Gigi! Gigi’s experience and thoughtful coaching have made such a difference. My son told me he wants to continue working with Gigi on his college essay, which is truly amazing to hear. Motivating him to write has always been difficult, but seeing him want to write is life-changing. Thanks to Gigi’s encouraging coaching style for inspiring him and helping him rediscover his passion through writing.

Kind and caring
My tutor was amazing! She really listened to me and tried to understand my story. She read my past essays and made a detailed outline to help me succeed. As an international student, the time differences were never a problem. The lesson times are perfect and flexible, and I felt supported and confident the whole time.
