Need to rewrite I think my review because it got deleted? I used to come here for tutoring for AP bio like 6-7 (unironically) years ago so take my review with a grain of salt. I loved this one male tutor, I think his name was David, so much because he never showed that he judged me and broke down concepts super simply and always encouraged me. This is how all tutors should be. But there was this one woman who went to Harvard or something who brought my mom and I into the office and basically told me it was too late for me and went on and on for a good 30 minutes-an hour about how I'd "never get into a good school" even though I had a 4.0 and I was on a good path, had clinical hours as a 13 year old, and was doing really well. She kept flexing that she went to Harvard and she could tell who would succeed or not, basically saying I'm going to fail at life because she could tell I wasn't going to make it. Ok good for you???? And surprise, she was wrong. I got into the top schools in California and am about to graduate with honors. I wasn't sure if writing a review after this long was fair, since I'm not sure if she still works there, but I still carry that negative memory with me to this day and even included this experience in my college essays. Hope she's not working there anymore and putting students down like that... Hopefully this was just a one-off experience but I'm not confident that it was, since she was way too comfortable rambling on like that. I would give one star because of her but that one tutor saved the rating a little bit. read more

The attention and love the instructors here put into their students exceeds expectations. They assist with a wide range of difficult subjects including physics, chemistry, calculus, and even college applications. David and his team works incredibly hard to ensure they understand what their students need in order to achieve success in their academic careers. As they've been in business for OVER 15 years, they are incredibly knowledgeable and really understand the material the teachers give out in surrounding SGV schools. I appreciate the heart they put into their students and it is evident that they not only genuinely care about the student's education but also for their wellbeing. I trust that any student who comes here will only grow for the better. Thank you so much David and instructors for providing so much value to the community. read more

I am so amazed at the difference in my son after just ONE coaching session with David Ho, Platinum Academy. I am in awww of my son's actions, which have taken our relationship to another level of respect and appreciation.

I am immensely overcome with joy and very much looking forward to many accomplishments for my son with Platinum Academy's` guidance.

This is the place where I found myself. I immigrated from Southeast Asia a few weeks before my senior year and ftting into a local California high school is NOT easy. I knew I needed help and started to go through lists and lists of tutors off the web. The name Platinum caught my attention and talking to David on the phone gave me hope. I started going to Platinum for SAT help and then moved on to the coaching program. I am a graduating senior in about 2 months and have already gotten accepted to multiple UCs and private colleges. Thanks a bunch to Platinum. The main reason why I recommend Platinum Academy is not only because all the instructors and coaches are excelling professionals who truly care for the students but because it is where I could honestly express what I want,be who I want to be in and feel like my opinion does matter, feel like I belong there. read more

Great place for tutoring! During summer break, I had them go over the actual math book my child is using for the coming school year.

Platinum Academy has helped me so much. I had David as my mentor from my sophomore year to senior year of high school and I found his lessons valuable. Even though I'm in college now, he still gives me advice and pushes me to achieve my goals.

I knew what career I wanted to pursue, and he helped pave my way towards that goal. David is truly passionate in helping his students gear towards the right path. I definitely recommend him to any student who's willing to change themselves for the better. read more

When I was in my junior year in high school, I was in need for a tutor. My grades were extremely low and I had my SAT/ACT coming up, as well as my finals. I was browsing through Yelp in order to find the right service, and I stumbled up Platinum Academy. I gave them a call, and they were nice enough to give me a free diagnosis on my performance. The staff there are very friendly and wasn't intimidating at all compared to my previous experience at tutor centers. I decided to stick with them for a week just to test the waters. Immediately, I noticed my grades were improving and my confidence grew for any upcoming tests. Ultimately, I stayed with Platinum Academy for another 2 years, until graduating high school. They were a huge help to my high school career and I'm glad I picked their service when I was desperately scrolling through Yelp, worrying that my grades may never go up. read more
