George Philip has helped clients get into these schools:
Lifelong educator with decades of experience helping students prepare for, apply to, and thrive in college. Stanford PhD in Art History & Digital Humanities, Fulbright Scholar in Switzerland, and former edtech startup executive. Currently, an executive in residence at a startup leadership program and founder of an educational consulting company. I have a small roster of clients for my private college counseling business, providing A-Z planning from developing academic "fingerprints" in the early years of high school, to testing strategy, to crafting exceptional personal essays. I've taught at the secondary level from New York private schools to top-ranked public schools in the Bay Area, and at the college level at great schools like Williams College and Stanford. I have deep experience in teaching research methods to students, including as a postdoc at Stanford's digital humanities lab to building the online research platform Polygence.org.
