I attended the writing class, SAT classes and received help while completing my college applications. Mrs. Kim and the faculty focuses on finding what each student needs and cater towards their specific goals. I was challenged to find the most effective way to approach my study habits and also had fun learning with my friends. I highly recommend if you are looking for a place that genuinely cares for your career path!

Mrs. Kim really cares and connects to each students and I am so happy that I had her as my teacher. In such supporting atmosphere where the whole staff believed in each students potential, I was able to raise my scores to where I wanted them to be. Through Mrs.Kim's guidance, I was able to get into my dream school and she was so supportive and proud of my college decision! Mrs. Kim is more than my teacher but she is also my life mentor: when I have problems in life, she is one of those very few people who I can always reach out to and she will walk me through the situation. I am very lucky and thankful to have met her!! She is the absolute best and I would really seriously recommend going to XLLC!

One of the most convenient things is that they pick up the kids directly after school -- they are always on time, professional, and make safety a top priority.

My daughter has shown amazing improvement with her extra math tutoring, and her confidence has grown so much because of the support she receives here. I'm incredibly grateful for this program and highly recommend it to any parent looking for a safe, clean, and nurturing environment with dedicated teachers who genuinely want their students to succeed

Elite is probably the most radical choice for your childrens' SAT/ACT needs, but if you're not…read morewilling to pay the thousands of dollars for tuition and your child will be unable to handle nearly 5 hours of work, you'll have to think twice. Elite is known to be a extreme form of a cram school similar to that of those in Asia, to instruct children to prepare for the SAT/ACT. It's a common thing everyday to walk into this place, you'll see portraits of very few kids smiling with a list of them getting incredibly high scores, in which also show which school they are attending now, and slogans for success and information about ivy league schools. I get it, this is to show that they've had success educating kids and they're mighty fine proud of that, but let's be honest, it is a little demeaning for other students struggling to make ends meet. In fact, I've overheard a parent teacher conference with the headmaster of this place (I will not say the name for confidentiality), and believe me, I've never heard so much bad mouthing about the student behind his back, such as how he/she is going to fail school and is never going to go to a "good" (which in their level is a Ivy League) school and he'll end up getting a job after high school. In addition, when I had my child go here, the workload was just unbelievable; I don't know whose idea it was, but he/she practically made my child work 5-6 hours on SAT prep material instead of the same school work that takes my child to college (also, if he failed to bring it, he would be subjected to detention/push ups/"demerits"). What is really disturbing is that there are also video cameras in each room and monitored by the staff; I don't care if it there was a stabbing long time ago, it's pretty invasive. Speaking of colleges, these people also look down on students who have no intentions of attending either UC or Ivy Leagues, regardless of the reason. With all due respect, what I really think these people can try to improve on is their perception on reality and realize these students are just kids who are/aren't suited for the tremendous work load provided; does stuffing millions of questions and answers really help? Because I guarantee not every kid they see holds the 300 IQ they are dreaming about. Despite my tone, don't boycott or spit at the headmaster, because even I know these people are trying very hard to trickle one child to get into yale and princeton and it's really difficult to handle a bunch of kids (for the record, I was a tutor for a after school program and THAT was no easy job), especially for the headmaster, who has to deal with few troublemakers; but they should at least give a damn about those who won't make it to the big leagues or have troubles instead of berating them and casting them on the side so the vultures can pick them. Bottom line? Parents, send your children here if you truly fear that your children may not become the next CEO, doctor, lawyer, etc., because this place is the 911 for that emergency; I will not lie that these people will literally work their fingers to the bone to stuff gargantuan amounts of assignments to show to you they really mean business, and that they are probably even better than any SAT/ACT prep schools. However, be cautious, because if you know your child is already struggling with the workload he/she has from school, then plan on your own discretion.

I couldn't agree more with the previous post. They are a big company so they use marketing tools…read moreand money to attract customers. What they should do is spend on more qualified teachers.

I was a student at elite in high school to prep for the SAT exams. Over the summer program, I was not only taught how to approach these standardized tests but how to approach studying--habits that I was able to carry over into Cal. I had over 700 point increase after 2 summer programs. Not only did this Elite program help me with my test scores, the whole staff was a wonderful support group and guided me through the college application process. They not only supplemented the little knowledge that I had about the college application process, but also gave me advice and tips with how to approach my college life experience. The programs may be rigorous, but as we all should know: "you reap what you sow" Put in the hard work and keep an open mind and voracious appetite of a student. You will succeed and realize you're capable of so much more than you thought you were. Best of luck!

My son has been attending Teragi for the last two years, so this review has been long overdue…read more The most important thing for myself was sending my child to a self defense art that actually applied practical methods of protecting oneself as well as a place that exemplified respect and self dependence. I've been to places where it seemed salesy or lacking authenticity. Teragi Academy is a place where they genuinely practice and instill jiu jitsu and its culture of honor and regard of others. The promotion of belts is carried out quarterly and only awarded based on merit. This is also something I greatly appreciate because I know many establishments that give out promotions for no reason at all. Since day one, the professors and coaches of this gym have been patient and meticulous in teaching techniques to the kids. Teragi has been instrumental in providing confidence as well as self awareness for my son. I've seen many of the other kids mature in their own ways for the past 2 years. It's always a wonder to see everyone come up together. For myself and my family, we seen so much growth and discipline in our boy. There's a comfort in knowing that our child is not left helpless and able to stand up himself as well as for others. I've been watching in the sidelines, two to three times a week, for the last 2 years. This is a program that provides a worthwhile experience. The benefit and journey is well worth the investment for anyone, young or old.
