I can’t say enough about the services my daughter received from College Thought. My daughter is now a rising senior in college and it wouldn’t have been possible without the help of College Thought. I want to give a special mention to Mr. Wes Rouse who was instrumental in helping my daughter through many challenges while she prepared to transition from high school to college.
The assistance my daughter received was tailored to her specific needs and helped her with test prep and ensuring her success in her last year of high school. I can’t say enough good things about this company and the many tutors who assist students like my daughter. Mr. Rouse was so patient, knowledgeable, and understanding. I have another child who is entering high school and won’t hesitate to reach out to College Thought for the prep services in the very near future.

From the very beginning, Rebecca Latoff showed a deep understanding of my son’s needs and learning style. We hired CollegeThoughts to guide him through the high school application process and ISEE prep, and Rebecca’s approach was exactly what he needed. She took the time to understand how he learns and processes new information, adjusting her guidance to suit his individual learning style.
Rebecca helped him stay organized and focused, providing clear, practical strategies that were easy to implement. Her ability to break down each part of the process allowed my son to approach every challenge with confidence and a clear understanding of what to expect.
We’re extremely grateful for Rebecca’s support and plan to continue working with her as my son moves forward.

Abby is an exceptional tutor. Her patient and relatable teaching style was exactly what my daughter needed. She helped build both confidence and academic skills, leading to college acceptance at 7 universities! Her positive attitude and genuine interest in my daughter’s success was remarkable. Highly recommend Abby for any high school student preparing for college.

College Thoughts has become a part of our family. My daughters started with Keith in their Freshman year. The bi-monthly meeting kept the girls focused on their academic goals. If there was an academic issue, he was there to help them troubleshoot. Now College Thoughts has started with my sons on their high school journey.
The girls went to the summer College Boot Camp twice and I have to say they walked away from the last one with their college essays done, ready to start the application process.
Keith was there through the process as the college acceptance letters started to roll in.
I can attribute the girls success and enrollment in American University and Princeton University to the hard work and dedication of College Thoughts.
As an educator, I would trust my kids college process with no one else. It was a true partnership.

Our son, a college freshman now, worked with Lily K at College Thoughts from the Spring of 10th grade throughout the college application process. Lily’s step-wise, patient, and thoughtful approach was so helpful to our son (and to us!) as the process can be overwhelming, but she broke it down into digestible steps. Lily expertly balanced empathy/expertise with holding our son accountable, which allowed us as parents to focus on the big picture (and saved our relationship with a teen because we didn’t have to nag him!). Throughout the test prep, college application, and essay process, Lily was with our son at each step, coaching and encourging him to revise/review until his application was authentic and at the best of his ability. I honestly feel Lily and College Thoughts played a big role in our son being early admitted to a University with a very low acceptance rate. Most importantly, she helped him find the right fit – he is doing well socially and academically there. Thanks, Lily and College Thoughts!

We could not have done this without you! Our goal: that our daughters end up in colleges that meet their academic requirements and also become home to whom they want to become. There were so many emotions through the process that having you to hold them in compassion and accountability to their own process and timelines was priceless. Would do it again!

Keith and the College Thoughts team have been an incredible blessing to our family. As parents of three very different children—our 12-year-old daughter, 14-year-old son, and 15-year-old daughter—my husband and I couldn’t be happier with the support and guidance they’ve received. Each of our kids has their own unique personality, strengths, and challenges, and Keith and his team have met them exactly where they are.
Through wisdom, compassion, and a personalized approach, they’ve inspired our children to aim higher, work harder, and believe in themselves—all while making the process fun and engaging. It’s not just about test prep or college readiness; it’s about helping our kids grow into confident, well-rounded individuals.
College Thoughts feels like an extension of our family, and we are so grateful for the care and attention they’ve poured into each of our children. We highly recommend Keith and his team to any family looking for thoughtful, personalized, and impactful support in preparing their children for the future.

When we first met Keith and the College Thoughts team during our daughter’s ninth-grade year, we never imagined the profound impact this relationship would have on her—and our entire family. Keith has been more than a coach; he’s been a trusted guide and a source of unwavering support for both of our children.
What sets College Thoughts apart is its focus on more than just academics or college admissions. College Thoughts partners with families to emphasize life lessons and personal growth, which are essential during high school. They equip students with the skills to present themselves confidently and navigate life’s challenges—lessons that have been truly transformative for our kids.
Keith has a remarkable gift for connecting with students individually, drawing out their strengths and inspiring them to take meaningful risks. Each student feels like they are his top priority, and his personalized approach resonates in a way that makes a lasting impact.
Beyond personal development and excelling on the ACT/SAT, College Thoughts provides invaluable guidance on selecting summer programs and activities that align with a student’s unique interests and goals. They encourage students to pursue experiences that inspire them and build their confidence, rather than focusing on resume padding.
Both of our children began working with Keith at pivotal moments—our daughter in ninth grade and our son during the summer before ninth grade. The difference has been incredible. Keith’s guidance has helped them thrive in high school, preparing them for the challenges of college and beyond. Thanks to the skills they’ve gained, both have excelled in new environments, including international programs.
When it came time to apply to college, there was no need to stack their resumes with unnecessary activities. Instead, they were able to speak meaningfully and passionately about their experiences in a way that stood out and left a lasting impression.
If you’re considering College Thoughts, don’t wait until senior year. Keith and his team offer so much more than college prep—they nurture the whole student, helping them grow into confident, capable young adults. For any family seeking this kind of meaningful impact, I wholeheartedly recommend College Thoughts.

I can’t say enough positive things about CollegeThoughts. The college process is very stressful as it is but having my daughter work with her advisor, Lily, to prepare for the SAT, working on her college/university list, and the multiple essays that were required was such a relief. Lily K guided her through the entire college process. She truly cared not only about my daughter’s academics but her mental health as well. She along with Keith W, the founder of CollegeThoughts are awesome! My daughter just finished a successful first year at an elite college. CollegeThoughts played a part in getting her there. We could not have been in better hands and consider Lily and Keith a part of our village. So if you’re looking for help for your student to make the college process less stressful and successful, call CollegeThoughts. You won’t be disappointed.
