Tanya worked with both of our sons who are very different people. She asked great questions, genuinely listened to them, and established a great rapport in a short period of time. She was honest about their options for schools and, with her experience, had specific suggestions for each of them that were very spot-on! Throughout the process, she was positive, supportive, and encouraging. We really felt that Tanya partnered with our family in the college process. She’s the real deal and we highly recommend her to our friends and anyone who wants support in navigating the post-high school landscape!

As a high school teacher and a mother of high school students, I relied on Tanya to give me practical honest advice through the college admissions process. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the landscape of testing, the course selection process, and finding the right fit. Whenever I had a question, I trusted that she would be able to answer it in a way that allowed us to feel that we were agents in the process rather than being held hostage by it. I consider her an expert in the field.

We can't thank Tanya enough for all she did for our son during the college application and decision process. Somehow she knew which school would be a great fit for him, and it sure wasn't on my radar screen! Tanya’s depth of knowledge about colleges and universities and the entire application process is unbelievable!! My son always knew he could count on Tanya to guide him, even when we as parents had no idea what we were doing. She has a magical blend of patience, optimism, and pragmatism that was extremely helpful in keeping him motivated and calm along the way. We are so very grateful.

I couldn’t have done it without Tanya. I had 14 different application supplements to write during the month of August. Tanya helped me organize the writing prompts, and we brainstormed how to best augment my main application essay with my responses to the supplements. It was so overwhelming, but Tanya helped me break everything down. We even had fun while doing it!

I can truly say that I would not be where I am today without the stellar guidance and vast expertise that was provided to me by Tanya during my college application process. For such a fundamentally transformative and inherently life-trajectory-altering decision, there is no one I would have rather had guiding me through the complicated process. She took the time to dive beyond who I was as a student and truly understand who I was as a person. Her open nature and caring personality made the stressful conversations about college feel effortless. Truly knowing me as a person, she was able to help me craft a comprehensive application plan which placed me in a college that was exactly the right fit for me. Too many students focus on simply the “best” college they can attend rather than the “best-for-them” college. Tanya understands this dilemma. I am now finishing my PhD and working as an engineer at NASA; I am living a life I couldn’t imagine back in high school, and it’s all thanks to Tanya.

"From the moment we first met with Tanya on FaceTime, we were immediately comfortable with her easy going style and clarity in conveying important information. Tanya carefully considered all of the information from the pre-work questionnaire, and truly heard us, as evidenced by the detailed report and suggestions for schools. Any time we had a question, Tanya got back to us quickly, alleviating our anxiety and concerns. Her suggestions for the college essay proved invaluable. Ultimately, our first child is now college bound, and we have Tanya to thank for that, 100%.."

"I can’t say enough about Tanya and how invaluable she was to my family during the college application process. Both of my sons are in college today, because of Tanya. I had so many worries about our sons managing the process but was told by Tanya “not to worry, she had my back.” And she did, as well as my two sons’ backs. My husband and I had little to do with our sons getting into college. When we had questions/concerns, we would reach out to Tanya, she would connect with our kids, get back to us, and/or assure us that she was dealing with whatever they were questioning. When I asked each of my sons what Ms. Keeney did for them, they both had the same answer “everything!” They are both very grateful to Tanya, as are my husband and myself."

We weren't sure how to even start helping our daughter apply to college, let alone knowing where she should apply. Our daughter was reluctant to work with a consultant, but after one meeting with Tanya she got into it and truly spent time thinking about what she was looking for in a school. Tanya is so easy to get along with, and she actually made it fun! Her knowledge of schools throughout the United States and Canada is impressive. We couldn't be happier with the outcome!

Tanya provided structure and clarity to the application process that I never would have figured out on my own. Her calm presence and chill approach to the work kept me motivated. She truly knows a little bit (and oftentimes a massive amount) about every college in the country. Tanya took the time to get to know me before helping me with my essay and making a list of potential schools. I am so grateful, because she also kept my mom relaxed, which is an amazing accomplishment! I’m off to the right college for me, all thanks to Tanya.

Navigating the college application process doesn't have to be stressful and complicated. I am so happy we used Tanya to help my high school senior. Tanya brought a sense of calm, and helped set a realistic pace to the process (we were a little late to the game, but Tanya got my child where they needed to be quickly and with smiles!) My child had support from the school, but having this outside perspective and advocate was absolutely worth it and I would recommend Tanya to anyone and everyone faced with college applications.
