My 10th grade son who'd always been good at math, ran into big problems with his algebra 2 teacher and just wasn't understanding the material. His self esteem took a big hit with this, and Max has been able to turn this around for him. My son is understanding the material, and re gaining his confidence that he can do this work. Doing "extra" academic work has never been enticing for my kid, but he looks forward to his work with Max, and has a smile on his face when he's done. I am very grateful to Max and how he's been able to help him.

Before connecting with Thinktango, I had been advised by two of the United States' 'best' admissions consultants (former readers from two Ivies who operate their own independent admissions consultancy groups). Working with Shari, I could not have been more impressed and from my experience, can confidently say that she is the best possible person to offer admissions advice. As a current student at Columbia University, Shari's guidance was invaluable in my acceptance. Shari is honest, to the point, and hones decades of experience in helping students shape their applications. She provides feedback and guidance and knows exactly what is needed and where; she cares deeply about her students and is committed to going the extra step. The changes that I made as a result of our discussions were clearly distinguishing factors that further set my application apart. Shari's experience and wisdom is second to none as are her results and success. I recommend Thinktango completely and when it comes to applying to college, trust Shari and Chloes's advice above all others. Thank you both so much - I am completely indebted to you for your help and guidance!

Shari and the team at thinktango are phenomenal! We really can't thank her enough for helping our…read morefamily through not just one, but two, college processes. Our girls, one now a junior and another a freshman, were both accepted at their early decision schools. First off, when you meet Shari, it is immediately evident that she knows each college and its individual admissions process well. This is incredibly valuable in helping your child choose the right school. After getting to know each of our girls, she was spot on in her advice as to which schools would be good fits for them. Also when it came to the application process, she clearly understood what each school was looking for. After working with so many students over the years, she has accumulated a vast knowledge base of what works and what doesn't -- and it is definitely a vast spectrum. And while both girls got into their ED schools, each had a dozen applications already completed and ready to submit in early December, all of which had been customized. In terms of the actual applications, we could not have been more pleased with the final products each of our girls submitted. I recall sitting with my oldest before she hit the Submit button. We both agreed that the application in its entirety was a true representation of her - it portrayed exactly who she was as a person, not just her accomplishments. This was the real value-add that Shari provided. She got to know my child and was able to extract and have her put on paper what was truly unique and special about her. It vividly came through. This created a great sense of relief - we both felt that if she had gotten rejected, it was because the school really saw her for the person she was and just didn't feel that she was a fit. It would not have been because her application fell short in anyway. We had the same experience with my younger daughter, who could not be more different in personality and interests than our oldest. Lastly, one of the best things about working with Shari is that she and your child will own the process. We originally struggled with using a consultant -- ultimately I felt that the most important thing was preserving my daughter and my relationship. And that is exactly what happened. My husband and I were involved in the process, but only from a big picture way. We saw drafts and gave high level comments, but quickly realized that they had everything under control. As you can tell, our family had a wonderful experience with Shari! We could not recommend her more highly.

Now that we are both working from home, and with school closures in effect with no end in sight, Allen has been helping us create a home learning environment for our daughters. When we first started with Allen, he set us up with a daily schedule, which has helped us set routines for ourselves and for our children. The daily schedule has been a game changer for us. Personally, my own stress has been reduced because Allen has empowered me with the advice, skills, and patience to work with my own children in an academic homeschooling kind of way. 100% recommend Allen!!

In particular, I wanted a strong writing instructor for one-on-one writing development. Allen is super easy-going and approachable, and he connected quickly with my son. He was wonderful at helping sort through the various class platforms (for grading, homework assignments, resources, etc.) which can be quite confusing at Drake. He was super patient, giving thoughtful and helpful feedback to my son. He also helped my son devise study systems for each of his classes, making the course load much more manageable. We hope to continue with Allen on a project basis, and then restart weekly meetings once winter sports are over.
