Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Laura George Consulting, LLC provides individual, customized ACT tutoring, college essay coaching, and assistance with completing college applications, including the Common Application and school-specific applications. I have experience with helping students overcome test anxiety, assisting students with learning challenges, and working with high achieving students.

I have an undergraduate degree in psychology from Duke University and an MBA from Northwestern University's Kellogg Graduate School of Management. I am an experienced writer, and I have a background in copywriting, marketing, brand management, and advertising. I draw from my professional training to help students develop their own unique “brand” as they craft their college essays. I am also a professionally trained ACT tutor.

My goal is to empower students to realize their full potential and achieve acceptance to their ideal colleges, and I have pursued this passion for over 10 years. I enjoy getting to know students so that I can provide customized ACT tutoring and help them tap into their unique, authentic voices when writing college application essays. My ability to connect with young adults and my first-hand knowledge of the parameters by which schools evaluate applicants make me ideally suited to partner with students as they navigate their college application journeys.

My services include taking a student from day one of ACT test prep through to submitting polished, introspective college application essays that will resonate with admissions officers. I truly get to know students so that I can customize the entire test prep and essay development process for them. The ability for students to bond with one trusted individual who can guide them through this process is invaluable. By partnering with me to reach their full potential on the ACT and craft the most genuine, revealing application essays, students can be confident that I have helped position them in the best possible manner on their college applications.

I served on the Admissions Committee for two years at Kellogg and read and reviewed hundreds of applications. I am, therefore, very well informed about the qualities colleges are seeking in top candidates and highly skilled in advising students on how to craft excellent essays and develop solid applications. I have found that the college application process fundamentally aligns with the MBA process, and I have successfully transferred these insights to my college admissions clients.
