Through Collegewise, I accessed SAT tutoring and had an amazing experience working with Patricia Hatcher! With over 20 years of experience, she was extremely helpful, and her tips and tricks were easy to understand and apply. Not to mention, she always kept her eyes peeled for relevant updates to the testing material and promptly updated her lesson materials accordingly. She was overwhelmingly positive and I truly appreciate all of her help!

Both of my daughters used Collegewise and Ali Springer. Ali took so much stress out of applying to college, especially when it came to navigating the application process and crafting their essays. What impressed me most was how she adapted her approach to each child. My daughters have very different personalities, yet both felt completely supported and encouraged throughout the process. We are grateful for her guidance and the positive impact she had on both of my daughter's college journeys.

We used Collegewise for our kids based on positive reviews and feedback from family members. Ali Springer was our kids' counselor. My kids clicked with her from the beginning. She is knowledgable, patient, friendly, offering suggestions in a direct, but not pushy way. She helped both of my kids with their college lists, making sure they had the right number of schools across competitive levels. The regular meetings were crucial to keep the kids on track, make sure they were working on their applications so that they weren't rushing and stressed. The Essay Lab service was instrumental to this entire process. Every year, the college process, applications, requirements change. Ali and Collegewise were so helpful in making sure we were informed so that we could make the right choices while minimizing the stress. Thank you so much for all of your help, Collegewise Team!. Ali was the best...try to request her if you can!

All 3 of my girls used Collegewise. Most recently, my twins both had Fayelah as a counselor, and we couldn't have been more pleased with the process, as well as the results. Fayelah opened their eyes to possibilities, challenged them to analyze a multitude of colleges to determine where they might be happiest, and supported them in every step of the application process. One of my twins will be entering a nursing program, while the other will be majoring in musical theater. Even though their needs were very different, Fayelah managed everything with compassion, professionalism, and expertise.

It means so much that your family trusted Collegewise with all three of your daughters! We’re especially glad Fayelah could support your twins so thoughtfully as they pursued two very different paths. Wishing them both an amazing next chapter!

Tanner was an amazing SAT tutor and I would easily recommend to anyone whose struggling on the SAT. Tanner was kind, funny, easy to work with, and made studying feel less stressful and more like a hangout with a friend. He explained things in a way that actually made sense and helped me feel more confident each week. Most importantly, his tutoring was extremely effective. My score improved from an 1180 to a 1420, and I could not be happier with the results. I wouldn't think twice to refer him to anyone looking for SAT help.
