My experience with Elite Prep has been nothing short of the best! One person who has been…read moreconstantly helping me throughout my time here is Jesse Kwon. When I first met with him after taking a diagnostic SAT, he walked me through the different SAT summer camp options, and told me what he thought would be best for me based off of my score and specific question types I initially missed. I left that meeting with a clear understanding what needed to be done over the summer in order for me to succeed. I enrolled in the SAT intensive bootcamp and improved my score by 120 points thanks to the amazing educators at this institution. I genuinely could not have achieved this without their help. The classes are incredibly engaging, and I learned so many strategies that I can apply to daily academic habits beyond the SAT. Since then, I have been actively participating in tutoring lessons with Jesse for precalculus. He's really good at breaking down math into understandable concepts, and that's what truly helped me build confidence in order to succeed in school. I highly recommend Elite Prep Fremont to any students looking to improve their SAT scores in a welcoming environment, or anyone in need of private tutoring.

The main tutor, Mr. Don Juang, makes concepts a lot clearer than school teachers do. Moreover, if you have problems, he'll go over them with you. At times, he'll even let in some jokes that makes the class more than just "a place to learn." He is the reason why I managed to remember the quadratic formula easily in middle school (and I still do). Additionally, the college counseling service price is quite affordable, and my counselor knows how to bring out the best of my writing for my college application essays. Ms. Shovanne Juang is direct, but really nice and helpful in guiding me during the application! I reccomend MT a lot if you're struggling in academics !

I am so grateful for her. She always provided quick responses regarding any questions I had about the overwhelming college process, and she always gave them with kindness, motivation, and genuine care! I could tell without a doubt that she truly wanted to see me succeed and thrive, and she would always motivate me to do my best. I would also like to shout-out Ms. Lin for her amazing college essay coaching help. Ms. Lin provided invaluable feedback to college essays and is so sweet and kind.

Although I got a lot of information from my peers and my friends, Tony was able to guide me in understanding the information and applying it to myself. When it came to college essays, I can't thank Albert enough. In the beginning, we spent a lot of time talking about me and my life. Our discussions really helped me understand myself, so when it came to actually writing my essays, it was a lot easier to figure out what I wanted to write about. Not only was he really good at editing the essay, but he helped me show the ideas that I wanted to share with the college in my writing.

The…read morecounselors consistently encouraged him to join clubs, communicate with teachers, and participate in summer and winter camps. These experiences helped him understand what he needed to do to prepare for a good college in the future. Through regular monthly meetings, the counselors reminded and motivated him to maintain strong grades, even when he faced academic challenges. Their guidance helped him stay focused and confident. In 12th grade, the weekly essay writing sessions and seminars for college registration and interview were especially helpful. I would like to give special thanks to Brendan for his support with essay writing - without his guidance and patience, my son would not have been able to complete his essays successfully. These sessions helped him stay on schedule and approach the application process calmly rather than with panic. Knowing that other students were going through the same process also helped him feel supported and not alone. I would also like to thank Peter Pan, who consistently helped solve problems whenever they came up. His dedication and responsiveness made a real difference throughout this journey. HS2 has played a meaningful role in my son's growth and college preparation, and I truly appreciate the entire team's commitment and care.

I think 3 stars is about right for this company…read more While we loved the counselor assigned to us over the last three years, my son came to the realization that Zenith was not the best fit for him. Pros: - Counselor provided great accountability, along with to-do lists and helpful action points. A summary followed each monthly counseling session. Sessions are usually 30 minutes in length. - Flexible scheduling on Calendly, - Counselor was encouraging and thoughtful. Counselor took feedback from the parent (me) seriously and integrated it with my son's desires and needs, to build a plan. Steps to reach that plan were clear. - Counselor was consistent. We never had to change counselors, so that points toward some worker retention, although Glassdoor seems to indicate otherwise. - Counselor suggested challenging routes (e.g. competitions and summer programs) to help build my son's resume. We implemented quite a number of the suggestions. - As you can tell, I give our counselor 5 stars. We had the same counselor in 6th/7th, 8th, and 9th grade. Cons: - More expensive than other companies. I am currently using another program for my younger son that is $10,000 less. Also, Zenith's price tag only gets you help for 5 school applications. More application help = more money, but they will tell you that once you've write enough for 5 schools, then you have enough material for future use. Recently, Zenith is trialing a discounted pre-pay option, which I had wanted to take advantage of, until my son asked to stop services. - Mediocre first impression, and distasteful lasting impression (of program execution). While his YouTube video sucks you in, when I actually met Kevin (the program director), I found him to be rather condescending. As a working professional, and as a potential client at the time (back in 2022), I thought that I would have received more of a red carpet roll-out. However, it was explained that they were interviewing us just as much as we were interviewing them. OK. Hmm. I should have stopped right there, but I went with Zenith because of their focus on "The Big Three," which are medicine, engineering, and law. I was hoping that Zenith would focus my son on his field of study, which Zenith did deliver. However, over these formative middle school and early high school years, it appears that over specialization can also drive kids away from a field of study. I gather that my son might have felt "stuck," and maybe pushing him in a particular direction just made him feel bad. Lesson Learned (for me). - Marketing, or hugely promoting, partner companies. We felt that Zenith pushed Polygence, which provides a "research experience" for their clients. Polygence also costs an exuberant amount, which I was willing to pay for, but which my son didn't want me to pay for. He said that the price point for Polygence just wasn't worth it to him. The option to use Polygence was brought up an uber amount of times, but for the record, our counselor did say that it was A-OK if we did not want to go with Polygence. - English? My son did apply to the some suggested summer programs. I was my understanding that his essays were passed up to a panel for editing, which was then passed back down to him for revisions. I read some of his essays for these programs and felt that Zenith could have helped him develop more imagery, to help him stand out more. Their editing suggestions felt a bit "canned," and I wish they would have invested more time into teaching my son how to write. If this is the way that they treat the kids' summer applications, I can only imagine how much (or rather, how little) they do for the real college essays. Overall, Yelpers not only look at quality, but they also look at whether or not a product has good economic value. Does Zenith present a decent product? I would say yes. Does Zenith provide a stellar enough product for its pricing? I would say no. Also, Zenith does not appear to offer SAT/ACT prep, nor financial aid counseling, or at least I have not experienced it. I hope that my review has been comprehensive enough for the owner to take note. I went on a call about a year ago to express some of these concerns, but I was not fully assured that they would be addressed. This does not bode well, and it took my son to see it and shake some sense into me.
