San Jose, CA - November 18, 2025 - Ava Mariya Gencheva, an educator-turned-entrepreneur with over two decades of experience, is proud to announce that hundreds of students have earned admission to top universities, including Harvard, MIT, Stanford, and UC Berkeley, through VoicED Academy, the mentorship-based consultancy she founded.
VoicED Academy offers a distinctive alternative to traditional college consulting, emphasizing long-term, purpose-driven mentorship. Gencheva and her team work with high school students across the US and internationally, helping them build academic roadmaps, refine extracurricular strategy, and craft deeply authentic college essays that reflect who they are and what they’ve achieved.
At VoicED Academy, students learn far more than how to craft a college application. They learn how to write powerfully, present confidently, and articulate who they are in their college essay writing and on stage. Gencheva mentors students to create meaningful portfolios, present their ideas publicly, and speak with clarity and conviction.
Gencheva’s recently released book, The Plot Twist Is You: And Other Truths About Writing the College Essay, distills over two decades of experience into a hands-on guide for students seeking authenticity and voice.
Now available on Amazon, the book utilizes real student essays to demonstrate how storytelling becomes a path to self-discovery, transforming writing into a mirror for growth.
Her mentorship doesn’t end when the acceptance email arrives. Students continue developing skills that shape who they’ll become long after college - skills rarely taught in classrooms but critical in the world beyond them. Through mentorship grounded in values, creativity, and critical thinking, Gencheva empowers students to approach education as preparation for life itself, rather than merely as an application outcome.
“Admissions is a moment,” says Gencheva. “The characters we, as educators, shape create the legacy. My mission is to help students become articulate, ethical, and confident people who know how to lead with purpose.”
Gencheva’s approach blends data-informed academic advising with human-centered storytelling, enabling students to stand out in increasingly competitive admissions cycles. VoicED students have not only been accepted to top universities but have also led meaningful projects and served as changemakers in their schools and communities. The consultancy has also built a growing mentorship network across the US and internationally, creating a support system for both students and parents navigating a high-stakes application landscape.
For families seeking a more human-centered and strategic approach to college admissions, VoicED Academy provides a framework grounded in purpose, growth, and results.
