They definitely helped one survive the seas of practice tests and oceans of work packets, and for that I thank the Elite teaching staff.

With the help and dedication of superior instructors, and encouraging staff, and a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum, I was able to exceed my own expectations. The practice tests allowed me to hone my skills and increase my confidence in my abilities, while reinforcing the effective lessons taught by my teachers. Elite has been a wonderful source of guidance and support for which I am extremely grateful."

Jamie Hwang (Jan. 2004)
"The best thing about Elite is that students have the opportunity to take a practice SAT test once every week. As they say, 'Practice makes perfect,' and I think that taking a practice test every week really helped. Also, with small-sized classes, Elite made it easier for students to receive more academic attention from the teachers. Overall, Elite was the most effective SAT prep course I have ever taken."

Charlie Kim (Oct. 2003)

Christine Lee (Oct. 2003)
"I am grateful to Elite for providing the structure and the instruction I needed. Without Elite's guidance, I would not have been able to get 1600. Thank you, Elite. The time I invested was truly worth the results."

Nishma Doshi (Oct. 2003)
"Elite made all the difference in my score. I could not have achieved a perfect score without them. They broke down and analyzed the test and taught in a comprehensible manner. They gave us an insight into the test, showing us what the SATs were really asking. I highly recommend this course as the best in test preparation to anyone who wants to succeed."

Mikayel Currim (Oct. 2002)

"Before I came to Elite, I never thought I could get a 1600. Elite's instructors were rigorous, and their material was thorough. They helped me do better than I dreamed possible."

Kimberly Jung (Oct. 2002)
"Practice makes perfect, and Elite certainly helped me... conquer the SAT [and] taught me invaluable skills for any exam."

Daniel Choi (Oct. 2001)
"Elite had a lot to offer to help me with the SAT. Their teaching material is superior and allowed me to overcome my weaknesses. The instructors knew exactly how to raise my score and were very encouraging and helpful. With Elite, I knew that the time and effort I was putting into studying for the SAT was well worth it."

Lori Goo (Mar. 2001)
"Elite gave me the discipline that I would not have had while studying at home. Through constant practice, I could pick out my weaker areas and focus on improving them. The teachers not only made an effort to help me understand concepts, but they also made learning enjoyable at the same time. Overall, Elite helped me reach my fullest potential by providing me with the necessary preparation."

Monique Cho (Mar. 1998)
"The teachers were very helpful and at the same time, personable. They had a great rapport with the students, making the classes much more enjoyable. I found my weaknesses and specifically focused on improving them."

Audrey Yen (Oct. 1998)
"My dream of obtaining a perfect score would have never become a reality. Words cannot express my gratitude to Elite, not only for the constant drill, helpful teachers and encouraging words, but also for the genuine concern of the staff to help me reach my fullest potential."

Rose Roll (Mar. 1998)
"At Elite, I received the discipline and organization that I would not have had if I had chosen to study for the SAT by myself. Elite helped me become more familiar with the structure of the SAT and also helped me improve on my weaker areas. I found that when the day of the SAT came, I was less nervous and much more confident. In the end, Elite paid off—my score had improved almost 200 points on the March 1998 SAT, [and] I received a 1600"

Rebecca Sadun (Mar. 1998)
"Elite offers an ideal environment for any student to learn the skills and confidence necessary for an impressive performance on the SAT's. Through repetitious exercises we learned to recognize our mistakes, through regular practice tests we began to develop assurance in a realistic testing scenario, through tutorial we learned to develop our math and verbal abilities, and through an integration of classroom activity and homework assignments we learned the tenacity and focus necessary for achievement on the examination and in the academic world beyond."

Daniel Song (Oct. 1997)
"The teachers helped me to understand many of the concepts which would become very important for me to know when I took the SAT. They were very helpful and were effective because they did not allow the students to get away with only half an effort. Pushing us to know the material fully was the best thing that they could have done, because they understood that we had to know what they were teaching us in order for us to do well on the tests. The push-ups I did in their classes, both mentally and physically prepared me well."

Jane Kim (Jan. 1997)
Elite's Student of the Year for 1997.
