Testimonials


"Tara understands the balance between giving a student the help they need and giving them the tools they need to succeed. The confidence that is gained by this approach has made a tremendous difference. Tara also worked well with my husband and I. She kept us abreast of our son’s progress, understanding our desire to support him while at the same time helping him become more independent."

"Tara Williams truly gets to know all of her students and spends the requisite time to work with them primarily in academics but also in any other aspect of their life in which she feels she can be of assistance. It is the rare person that spends the time and effort to go above and beyond. Tara Williams is that person."

"Tara helped turn my academic career around. Before working with her, my work was only adequate and my organizational skills were subpar. Together, we reviewed outlining, writing, and time-management techniques that helped my work become something I was proud to turn in to my professors. Without Tara’s academic guidance, I would have continue to struggle throughout my college career."

I like that they focus on the bigger picture, like building confidence and learning skills, not just getting through assignments.

Not only was she extremely knowledgeable on the process but she was patient and kind with me through my anxiety and stress over the application.

"I have been working for Dr. Tara Williams for over 3 years at Innovative Collegiate Consultants (ICC). It has been a great opportunity to get to work with Dr. Williams and also working with students that Dr. Williams have paired with me. Dr. Williams and ICC staffs have great communication and also helpful with any help I need. Scheduling with students is very flexible since I am able to communicate directly with my students to set up a fixed schedule that works well for my students and I for the whole semester/quarter. I like the fact that I can do tutoring remotely from home. ICC provides excellence and quality services to students and also a great company to work for. It is very rewarding to see my students' progress and their success in their courses. I highly recommend ICC to any prospective students who seek quality service."
"I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Tara and her team. The tutors assigned have consistently adapted to my individual needs and learning style, ensuring a tailored and effective educational experience. Tara and her team are highly responsive and easy to collaborate with, and having access to tutors at any time has been immensely beneficial given my busy schedule. Additionally, I appreciate the personal touch they bring to their work. They demonstrate a genuine concern not only for my academic progress but also for my overall well-being, making each tutoring session something I look forward to."
"I was very pleased and impressed with Tara and her team. First, Tara was very responsive to our needs, including a quick response and finding a tutor that met my child’s needs. Once, there was a time when she wasn’t sure if she had a tutor that met our needs. She was very upfront about it and was clear she didn’t want to push us onto someone who wasn’t qualified. BTW – the tutor turned out great. As far as the tutors, they were all excellent – knowledgeable, flexible with their schedules to meet my child’s schedule, and adapted to exactly what he needed. I wholeheartedly recommend Innovative Collegiate Consultants with no reservations."
"Having Tara and ICC support for my son at college has been a game-changer. Tara operates behind the scenes, meticulously tracking assignments and ensuring follow-ups with my son. She collaborates with him on reaching out to professors, prioritizing assignments, and managing his schedule. Additionally, she discerns when he requires extra tutoring or other forms of assistance. Because Tara has cultivated a strong rapport with my son, he feels entirely at ease seeking her guidance whenever he needs it. If you have a child with learning differences, you understand the strain it can put on family dynamics. This external support has significantly lightened the load on our family. I genuinely believe that my son's success in college wouldn't have been possible without Tara and ICC."
"We’ve been extremely impressed with the help our dyslexic son has received from Tara and her team. We found out about Innovative Collegiate Consultants by asking the school administrators for a recommendation. Even in mid semester, Tara set up a schedule to help our son avoid missing critical dates which was pivotal in improving his grades. She found him an excellent tutor for a technical class he was taking. All this while keeping us informed of what was going on. I wish we had found this company sooner!"
