Tanner tutored one son for the ACT & one son for the SAT. He is extremely knowledgable, personable and an all around great guy. My boys loved working with him & the improvement in their test scores showed it!

Yay! This is what we love to hear!
My daughter worked with Michael Cohen to tutor for the ACT. We could not be happier with Michael and with her results. He connected with her well, stayed on her when needed and kept us (her parents) in the loop which was very much appreciated. My daughter's improved over 7 points from her practice tests and she was overjoyed! We definitely credit Michael's tutoring and have recommended him to friends already.

Michael will be so thrilled to hear this! Thank you!
Michael Cohen has been a phenomenal tutor for my junior. He helped her get a great SAT score and is helping with AP studies as well. He is clear, patient and professional. My daughter loves working with him!

Woohoo! We glad to hear!
Tanner Reive tutored my child for the SAT and he is an awesome tutor. He is easy to talk to, explains math and English concepts really really well, and my kid's score improved A TON. I'm going to have Tanner tutor my second kid for the ACT. He is a very popular tutor and his schedule fills up, so if you want Tanner, grab him quick.

Tanner is super popular! We are so happy that Tanner has been a great resource for your student and will be for your next one :)
My review is specifically for Tanner Reive. My son is a 25 year old students who's on Autism Spectrum. After aging out of HS, we found collegewise and very luckily got assigned to Tanner. My son LOVES Tanner and always looking forward to their sessions together. He has been taking classes with Tanner since 2019. He made tremendous with math and English (reading). He can now do simple math calculation in his head (that was not what he could do in HS), and enjoying reading a lot. We are very thankful that Tanner was there to teach and to mentor and guide my son. Highly recommend Tanner to anyone who's looking for a patient and knowledgeable tutor.

Yes! Tanner is amazing and we are so happy to hear about your awesome experience. Thank you for this review :)
We used Collegewise for both our kids. Tom helped my son with applications and Tanner tutored him for the ACT. Both Tom and Tanner are wonderful! They are so knowledgeable, accessible and just super nice people. It takes so much of the stress out of the entire process and my kids were able to present their best selves to the college admissions teams. Highly recommend.

Yay! We're pleased to hear that both of your kids were able to gain so much from working with our team. Tom and Tanner will be so excited to hear this!
Tanner has been working with our daughter on reading skills. The improvement has been amazing, but the confidence that he has been able to instill, truly is priceless. He really cares about her progress and we are so thankful to have him on her team.
