Shruti was amazing at helping me but also giving the best constructive criticism for my essays and common app profile

Tanner is kind, gifted and truly an expert in teaching Mathematics as well as SAT tutoring. He’s able to switch seamlessly between the Math and Reading/Writing portions of SAT so the student can customize lessons as needed. He also gives honest timely feedbacks after each session to both the student and parent with a clear path for next or upcoming sessions. With his calm demeanor and undeniable ability to bring order to the chaos of SAT prep, and his vast knowledge and patience, especially in Math, a subject of study that a lot of students might be running away from, he holds space for deep and thorough learning. He allows students be themselves without judgment so they can ask lots of questions. He pushes them when needed and cheers them on every step of the process. He won’t stop until he ensures they have understood each lesson before moving forward. After working with Tanner for twice a week in a 5 week span, my daughter’s SAT grade improved by almost 150 points. It has been a pleasure working with Tanner and we couldn’t recommend him more.

We had an excellent experience working with Collegewise, especially Ali Springer, my daughter’s college counselor, and Sakhi Patel, her SAT prep tutor. We were initially referred by a friend, and based on our experience, we are now recommending Collegewise to others. One aspect we particularly appreciated was being offered a choice of counselors, allowing our daughter to select someone she felt comfortable with and trusted. As immigrants, we knew there were many nuances in the college admissions process that we were unfamiliar with, and with full-time jobs, we simply didn’t have the time to do extensive research on our own. Ali was absolutely wonderful in connecting with our daughter and guiding her through the process. She provided a clear framework for decision-making that balanced a “student at the wheel” approach and incorporated criteria from us, parents, and strong oversight. Her availability was also a critical factor for us — unlike other consultants we interviewed who had rigid schedules, Ali was flexible and accessible, which was essential given our daughter’s demanding school and sports commitments. By taking the lead on the process, Ali saved us an enormous amount of time, stress, and potential conflict with our teenager. We are happy with the multiple out-of-state college acceptances our daughter received and fully plan to return to Collegewise when our second child begins this journey.

Matt Doyle was awesome. He understood our child, connected with him and helped him navigate the process in the best ways.

Efficient Super helpful

Christopher Logan is exceptional! Enough said.

I worked with Kaila throughout my process and she was nothing but incredible! She really helped to smooth out any questions or uncertainties I had throughout the process and I credit a lot of my success to her and all the help she gave! It was so much beyond a transactional relationship.

Jessica was awesome! She made the search and application process easy on us as parents and kept Ella on track. She applied to 6 schools on the Common App and 3 UCs, and was accepted to all 6 Common App schools. Now we're just waiting to hear about the UCs. CollegeWise was absolutely the right fit for our daughter and her goals. Thanks so much!
