My…read moreson participated in a multi-week in-person summer SAT prep class in 2023, just after 10th grade, and we were both really impressed with the organization, flexibility, and teaching. His scores went up over 100 points during the course of the summer workshop. Julie and Josh (who we interacted with most) were both wonderful to work with and answered all of our questions. My son took the paper SAT in late 2023 and was happy with the results. We have since referred a classmate to Elite Prep (for a winter break shorter course) and they were also pleased with the schedule and outcome. Thanks to the team at Elite Prep! Your help is much appreciated.

Robert is the best tutor I have ever worked with in any class, subject, or test preparation course…read more I improved my ACT score from 24 to 30 in just a few sessions with him. He was willing to work at my pace, and set the precedent that if I was willing to complete all of my work between sessions, he would get me exactly where I wanted to go. His understanding of the reading section particularly made a huge difference for me. Robert got me to think about how the ACT wanted me to think about the questions, and changed my mentality completely. I ended up at my dream school, and have continued to employ many of the strategies he taught me in college. P.S. He's also an amazing guy who can get along with anyone, which makes training for standardized exams much more enjoyable for all of his students.

I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs help with the college application essays!

Nothing beats the convince of having both your math and english tutors at the same location, and their flexibility in scheduling is great. Ray takes time to make sure you have an understanding of the math concepts, even if it means he explains the content in several different ways. Sheri takes great care in going over the english sections, as well as pays attention to every detail you include in your practice essays (and gives invaluable advice which helps you enhance your essays on the test). I wouldn't have gone to anyone else for my tutoring needs, and I know we will be sending my younger brother to them in the future. -Nicole Katz, former student

While at WHS she completed Spanish 4AP, passed her AP exams with a 5 and SAT subject test with a score at the level of a native speaker.

This is unbelievable for a girl with no Spanish language background. I thank you Liliana, for your passion and dedication!

My daughter found Oxford after trying several other college counselors for essay help. Many lacked…read moreempathy, patience, knowledge about culture, or how to draw the reader in with more than facts in the short space of word count. JT was the gift she needed. He made himself available, is patient, accommodating and has the worldly life & writing skills to hit all the angles. My daughter did the base work and research on her own for the foundation for her essays, but JT knew how to hone them to make sense, and get everything in the word count without compromising the emotion my girl was seeking. She was distraught and overwhelmed until she found him through word of mouth at school. JT was the first college counselor that could work one on one with her and I didn't have to be part of the process because after reading what they produced, we trusted him. She ultimately earned full tuition in 5 merit scholarships to our local US News ranked top 25 college because she had put in the hard work academically, and holistically through the years, but JT understood her goals to write a story weaving in everything she had done (which was a lot) within the word count without compromising the quality of essays. My recommendation is for your teen do the research on the strongest activities they want to present in a bullet point list, pre-write out factual essays trying to squeeze in a coherent story and then go to JT to help him understand the direction. This saved her time and us money, plus helped her feel confident when they would hang up on what she was to go fix before the next call. She did all by Zoom, and maximized her time this way. From there, they crafted compelling essays that I'm still proud to re-read. Thank you Oxford for finding JT. We could not have gotten through this without him. Will definitely be using him for child number 2 when the time comes soon.

I am thrilled to share that he scored a 32 on the official ACT test. This was a huge jump from what he started. My son says he really enjoyed working with Melissa, that she made learning enjoyable and understandable. I highly recommend using Melissa to support for ACT preparation. Thank you Melissa!
