Success Stories

Inspiring College Futures

 

“I am grateful that Martin has such detailed

and personalized plans for helping my

daughter apply to college here and in France.

He is available as an editor, confidant,

and coach. He knows how to work with teenagers to help them stand out in a competitive environment.” 

-P.T.  Parent​
 

What sets Mr. Ortega apart from standard college counselors is his added focus on minimizing stress through the process,

making it a positive and organized experience. 

-M.D.  Parent
 

Personally, he's helped me during key moments in my life, like with big moves, job decisions,

and resume fine-tuning. With Martin, learning becomes not just an academic exercise,

but a journey of intellectual discovery.  

-T.C.  University of Washington

 

The college process was not easy for me.  Thanks for all of your time and patience.     

I couldn’t have done it without you.                                                    -A.H.  City College of San Francisco
