Tanner was an amazing tutor in preparing me for the PSAT and SAT! He was always very nice, enthusiastic, and encouraging. Every time I had a question he explained things well and gave me useful tips to improve my scores and speed in each section. I never had too much homework between sessions and I felt well-prepared for the tests!

I had a great experience with my SAT tutor Tanner Reive. Going into the SAT I was not that confident in my test taking skills and he helped me so much. Not only did he help with raising my score, but he also helped me feel more confident going into the test by always being positive and encouraging in our tutoring sessions. Whenever I struggled with a question he would always take the time to explain it thoroughly and make sure that I understand it as well, which helped me a lot. Overall I had a good experience and I definitely recommend Tanner as a tutor.

I worked with Tanner as my SAT tutor about a year ago and he was amazing. Not only was he super helpful with test prep, but he was interested in learning more about me as a person and making the sessions fun. While I was studying for the SAT, I was also working on my AP art portfolio. At the end of our sessions, Tanner would always ask to see the art I was working on. It was great having not only a helpful tutor, but a great, engaged mentor. Overall, my experience with Tanner was amazing, and I would highly recommend him for anybody interested!

I've been working with Rebecca Putter as my college counselor and Tanner Reive for SAT prep, and can confidently say that they have made the process of preparing for college incredibly simple and straightforward for me. They have provided a fantastic support system for me over the last semester, helping me evaluate and improve my grades and test scores, conduct thorough college research, and broaden my horizons in terms of my education. I'm beyond grateful for Collegewise and Rebecca and Tanner in particular; they have made this once daunting process enjoyable and incredibly simple.

We really enjoyed working with Christine! She made the whole process go so smoothly, and we greatly appreciated how organized she was. Our son applied to both art schools and traditional colleges with art programs with his desired major, and Christine made sure that he understood what each school required and was on top of the application deadlines. She also put him in touch with an art advisor at Collegewise to review his artwork and discuss his portfolio. We cannot imagine going through this process without the support of Christine and Collegewise, and are so happy with the outcome! Thank you!

Woohoo! Christine will be thrilled to hear this and we appreciate your feedback!

Tanner is an excellent tutor and has been a wonderful influence on my 4 children. We first hired tanner as a general academic tutor for my eldest child. The experience was so productive that we then asked him to tutor my son for ACT prep. The results were terrific. He not only helped with the subject matter but also instilled study habits that my son employs to this day. Since then, Tanner has tutored each of my three daughters and the results have all been amazing. I would highly recommend Tanner for general academic tutoring as well as standardized test prep.
