Knowledgeable & Effective Admissions, Writing, Interviewing Tutor

Laura G.

Welcome! I am Laura, a former Tufts University undergraduate/graduate student who enjoys helping students and parents succeed in writing, interviewing, and admissions prep for private schools, colleges, and post-graduate programs. My passion lies in working with parents and students on the college and private school admission process. I believe that in order for writing, admissions, and interview prep to be effective, a student has to learn that he or she is more than capable of doing well despite any challenges that he/she or a guardian might feel is in the way of an effective application. I also believe that every student should allow their personal style to shine through and it is my goal from the very beginning to customize a plan to fit to that student. I work with high school and college students on an array of subjects that require critical and analytical thinking and diving deep into the material. As an Admissions interviewer and someone who has been through the admissions process from both sides, I am able to guide students and guardians on how to ace the interview, application, and follow up. Having worked at a private school in Dallas, I am also in tune with the expectations of the various schools.

I know there are so many parts of an Admissions journey that seem overwhelming but I would love to work with you to simplify the process and help you in any capacity with my knowledge and skills. Whether that means consulting and editing essays or conducting a mock interview with tips and tricks or figuring out the ins-and-outs of admissions to find your ideal fit, I am confident I can help you gain confidence in the process.

Over the last five years, I have helped students apply and gain admission to some of the top universities: Harvard, Yale, Tufts, Cornell, University of Pennsylvania, Stanford, NYU, Emory, Vanderbilt, USC, and Boston University.
