I found Collegible through Yelp while looking for SAT preparation for my child, and it has been a great experience. We chose the one-on-one online tutoring, and Eli has been incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and professional throughout every lesson. Eli explains difficult SAT concepts in a clear and easy-to-understand way, while also helping build confidence and effective test-taking strategies. The lessons are well organized and personalized based on my child's strengths and areas for improvement. My child is preparing for the August SAT this year, and we've already seen noticeable progress. I truly appreciate Eli's dedication, teaching experience, and encouraging attitude. If you're looking for high-quality SAT tutoring, I highly recommend Collegible and Eli. read more

Eli at Collegible comes highly recommended. He is calm, patient, and communicates clearly, taking the time to explain concepts in a way that truly makes sense. Eli does an excellent job preparing students to feel confident when taking the HSPT. What's especially appreciated is his constant feedback and his ability to break down problems step by step, while still encouraging students to think through solutions on their own and collaboratively. Students feel supported throughout the process rather than left to figure things out on their own. read more

Eli is friendly, easy to understand and good with kids. Excellent program and a good teacher.

My daughter took both the HSPT and STAR prep test classes and ended up doing great on both tests and getting into both Lowell and SI. All of the prep really helped. I highly recommend Collegible! read more

I contacted Eli sometime in November to help get my nephew prepared for the HSPT. With just little time to go, Eli was able to accomodate my nephews schedule and work at his speed/level. My nephew was able to gain great knowledge from him, and learned skills he had not done so in school. After the exam, Eli continued to tutor my nephew to continue strengthening his math skills. My nephew was delighted to have him as a tutor. And said "Eli was the best teacher he has had in a while and you can tell he cares about me learning". read more

My daughter can be picky & hesitant about tutors but Eli is so personable and experienced working with teens, he made her feel very comfortable. He really helped boost her HSPT results giving her strategies on how to leverage her strengths & work around her weaknesses. I would definitely recommend Eli for tutoring! read more

Eli helped both of our children prep for the SSAT/ISEE. He helped both achieve their target scores for boarding school admissions. Eli was reliable, flexible, and knowledgeable. With 2 very different kids with different learning styles, he was able to cover necessary material and test strategies. Would highly recommend for test prep. read more

We are so happy that we found Eli! He helped our daughter raise her SAT math score in a short amount of time, and she was able to get into her dream university! Eli was responsive and easy to coordinate with. My daughter found that he was patient and very clear in his explanations. A very successful experience for us, we wholeheartedly recommend Eli for all your test prep needs! read more

Both of our kids had such a great experience working with Eli at Collegible! They prepped with him for both the Lowell Exam and the HSPT and were accepted into Lowell High School and Saint Ignatius. Eli was incredibly supportive, clear with his explanations, and made the sessions so much less stressful. He knew exactly how to target the areas they needed to improve and gave them strategies that made a big difference on test day. The kids always felt motivated after their sessions and actually looked forward to them -- which says a lot! We're so grateful for Eli's help and will definitely be looking into Collegible again for SAT and ACT test prep when the time comes. Highly recommend to anyone looking for solid, effective test prep with someone who truly cares about the kids' success! read more

At first I was skeptical as it was an online class. My daughter has had enough of online lessons during covid and post covid. Eli had reassured me that their class and lessons are successful even though online. I took a chance and it was worth it. My daughter didn't hate it which is always a plus wiith teenagers. And she was accepted into several schools and had her pick. I will be asking Eli for guidance with the SATs in the upcoming few years! read more

Highly qualified and well credentialed - tons of experience. Professional, kind and courteous.

Eli has worked with both my boys get into their first choice high school in San Francisco and also top choice college for my eldest. He prepared them for test taking and helped shape their essays for high school and also college. Eli is easy to communicate/plan with and always accommodating when there were changes in schedules. read more

I have previously provided a review for Eli after he helped my son get into Lowell. Lowell again helped my daughter get into Lowell. He has helped both my children prepare for the Lowell entrance exam (this year it was changed from SBAC to Star) and has been instrumental in both my children scoring above 95 percentile in both English and Math. He has a way of connecting with my children and building their trust and teaching them in ways that is very personalized for their learning styles. I am a huge fan of Eli and very grateful to him for helping both my children get into Lowell. I strongly believe that my children's scores were meaningfully improved by Eli. Eli cares about the kids and prides himself on the impact he has helping the kids achieve their goals. read more

My daughter worked with Eli for the Lowell test prep class. She did great on the test, thank you!

Eli was highly recommended by a friend and I reached out late in the process. Eli went out of his way to fit us into his busy schedule leading up to the HSPT and his help was invaluable, as our son was offered honors at his first choice high school. He helped our son identify his strengths, understand the test set up and timing, and he is personable. Zoom worked well and allowed for flexibility. I will definitely be reaching out (earlier next time) for his help with our younger kids and for the college prep process. read more

We couldn't be more pleased with Eli, who helped our daughter prepare for the HSPT, SSAT, and SAT, over the course of several years --- from middle school through high school. Thanks to his expert guidance and personalized approach, her test scores improved dramatically across all exams. Eli is not only a fantastic educator but is also genuinely invested in our daughter's success, providing tailored strategies and encouragement that boosted both her skills and confidence. Eli's ability to break down intimidating concepts and keep her motivated made all the difference. The results speak for themselves--our daughter's scores increased significantly, and we couldn't be more grateful! If you're looking for a tutor who delivers real results and truly cares, we highly recommend Eli at Collegible. read more

I started working with Eli during the spring semester of my junior year for my internship applications. He was incredibly insightful, humorous, and patient, so I decided to work with him for my college essays as well. Despite the meetings being online, Eli was still able to provide excellent help. He was flexible with schedule changes and kept me on track so that I was able to meet the various deadlines for Early Action/Decision and UC schools. The entire college admissions process was confusing, but Eli helped break it down and made it a lot more manageable. If you're looking for an experienced, helpful, and genuine coach, Eli is the person to go to! read more

With just 5 weeks to prepare my daughter for the HSPT, we decided to work with Eli, opting for private tutoring sessions twice a week. Despite my daughter's anxiety and various challenges, Eli's approach was methodical, compassionate, and patient. He effectively addressed the gaps in her knowledge, leading to her acceptance at both Saint Ignatius College Preparatory and Sacred Heart Cathedral. We were overjoyed with her HSPT results. I highly recommend Eli for any test or exam preparation, and I'm already planning to reach out to him again. Thank you, Eli--your support made all the difference. read more

Great tutoring service! Eli helped my daughter get accepted to both Lowell and Sacred Heart Cathedral Prep. She worked with him individually for an hour a week for about 6-7 weeks. The fact it was on zoom, and Eli was very flexible about schedule changes, made it easy. Eli's style was very patient, and we couldn't be happier with the results! read more

So thankful for Eli. He tutored (math) and advised my daughter her junior and senior year in high school. But more than anything, he gave her her confidence back! And that made ALL the difference. To this day she is thriving! He successfully supported her towards earning a spot at NYU. Since then, she studied in Paris for a summer, LA twice (2 semesters) and is ahead in her senior year to finish early. While at college she interned at Disney, Marvel, FX, and upcoming EA Sports! It's pretty shocking to have watched her grow! I am still so appreciative of the role Eli played in her landing a great school and building her confidence as a student!!!! The impact he had was immeasurable and fully worth the cost in working with him! 100% RECOMMEND! Your child deserves this investment! read more

Eli (owner and founder of Collegible) has been an amazing resource for our family for over seven years! He started by tutoring my daughter and now he has been tutoring my son. He's assisted with math tutoring, essays (high school and college applications) as well as test prep for both the HSPT and SAT. My kids are SO different academically as well as in their interests- Eli worked with them both as individuals and both of them valued their experience, felt very comfortable with him and learned SO MUCH. My daughter jumped 120 points in her SATs and my son performed excellently in his HSPT as well as did very well in his math assessment entrance exam. We would recommend his classes and his one on one tutoring with complete confidence. read more

Eli does a wonderful job getting to know the student and families. He is easy to speak with and worked with our teen to navigate testing (SSAT and HSPT) for private high schools. Being from a progressive K-8 language immersion program, we benefited greatly from Eli's test taking guidance. After dedicating 2 hours a week plus self-study, our 13 year old made it into Honors level for SHC and SI. Also, while independent schools were test optional/ no test required, the SSAT/ HSPT prep process helped our teen feel much more confident based on the solid scores during practice and actual test results. Eli is super helpful with the student and parent essays. We wrote 100% of our own essays. However, Eli helped tease out more compelling and personal narratives to add to our prose. This also proved useful during our teen's interview process as she was able to fully explain why she thought a particular school is a great fit for her and how she can add to the school's culture/ community. We believe this is why she got into her 3 top choices. Eli is a phenomenal coach to have in your corner. Start early with him as it gives your student more time to distill what is being communicated. We began the process 6 months before the admissions process began so our teen didn't feel rushed. She felt well prepared going into admissions season. We plan on working with Eli during our teen's SAT/ ACT test taking process in a couple of years for college! Good luck to all the families out there looking for help to navigate their kids educational journey. read more

I had the honor of working on my writing with Eli through my college process. At first I thought that my stories were too boring and not strong enough but Eli helped me bring them to life. Now I'm Berkeley bound! Trust the process. read more

So glad my daughter took Eli's Lowell test prep class - she felt so confident and aced it!

Where do I start? Our family will forever be grateful to Eli for the wonderful, powerful and real experience we have this year. With our son graduating 8th grade and on to the next big thing, High School admission was our #1 priority, ever, as a family. Eli was our source of truth, North Star, and enabler at the same time. Everything matters, good grade, HSPT score, student's essay, video bio, parent's pledge to say the least, and Eli has the honest to God feedback and advice on all of those! Together, we got in to all 3 schools we applied to, 1 Blue Ribbon and 2 accepted with Honors. I am not going to lie, to say that we are on the right track seems right. read more

Eli helped both my kids first with some coaching before applying to high schools and then with some SAT coaching. Both kids took their SAT's during Covid, only had one shot at it and aced it. Eli was awesome - thorough, great strategies, a great communicator and friendly too. I've ended up recommending him to all my friends and he's ended up successfully coaching a bunch of their kids too. read more

Eli was so helpful to my daughter's high school application and exams. He has a lot of experiences and would totally recommend!

We've had the pleasure of working with Collegible to prepare for High School AND SAT AND ACT and we had phenomenal results! The level of professionalism, knowledge and experience that Eli brings to every session was really impressive. He is an expert in helping students prepare for these tests and offers personalized tutoring tailored to students' individual learning styles. He has a great understanding of how different students process information and provides valuable guidance to help maximize their success. Collegible provides an outstanding service and is highly recommended! read more

Eli was a great resource to our family through the High School admissions process. He worked with my son prepare for the HSPT. My son went into the test feeling calm and prepared, and he ended up doing very well on the exam. I would recommend Eli to anyone looking for guidance on the High School admissions process. read more

As a teacher, admissions/financial aid advisor, and most importantly, mother of 3 boys, I trusted Eli to help my kids prepare for the SAT and refine their college essays. He is the only tutor I recommend. Eli is all about relationships. With 20+ years of experience, he gets to know each of his students and families intimately. Honest, yet kind, Eli challenges his students to stretch and think outside the box to present themselves in the most optimal way. He offers group classes for the SSAT, the HSPT, and the Lowell Test too! He's 100% worth the investment! read more

My son has had Eli as a tutor for the past 3 years and loves him! He is knowledgeable and meets all expectations.

I've worked with a handful of math tutors through my elementary to high school experience. With help from each of them, I ended up with the highest grade I believed I could get, a "C". In all those years of conditioning, and believing that I couldn't achieve more than that, you can believe that I'd been in shock when I received my first "B" ever. Additionally, this happened in PreCalc/Algebra 2, comparably, the harder option that school year (11th grade). Now, closing in with my last year of high school, I'm taking AP Statistics (something I never thought of taking before) and in each quarter, I've received an "A" on my progress report. This complete turnover wouldn't have happened without Eli and his devotion to making sure in every question, I understood it to the fullest capacity. In my two years spent with him, I've grown to not feel embarrassed when saying the wrong answer. Since he's always been quite understanding and respectful while showing the easiest route on how to fix my mistakes. He's also been well versed in explaining problems thoroughly and helping me understand them better than I would in the classroom. In general, he's been a great help in every aspect, and it's shown profoundly on my transcript. Before Eli, I was worried my math grade would be the reason that I wouldn't be accepted into many of the big colleges, let alone apply, but now being fully committed to NYU, I can say that he's given me enough reasons not to think so little for myself. I'm more than positive that any student could learn a lot from Eli and grow not only as an academic student but also in their character. He has my full and honest recommendation to anyone in need. read more

Eli first tutored our daughter for the SSAT and the results were spectacular. He was able to help her focus on shoring up the areas where she needed the most work while keeping fresh on those on which she had a good handle. We brought him back for our son, also with great results. What was great to see is that since each kid showed up in a different way, so did Eli. We appreciated that he did not come with a cookie cutter approach, but instead really tailored how he worked with each kid. Highly recommended. read more

Eli was referred to me by one of my co-workers. At first, I was pretty skeptical on how much he could help my son with his SSAT test. I was planning to try him out for a couple of times. We ended up having him tutor my son for 6 months! Eli knows how to communicate and connect with teenagers. He is also very reliable and flexible when it comes to scheduling tutor sessions. My son's SSAT score improved more than 300 points. He got accepted by the top independent private schools in San Francisco. I strongly recommend Eli to all parents looking for a great SSAT, ISEE and HSPT tutor! read more

Eli tutored both of my sons for the SSAT, HSPT and the Lowell test, and I give him my highest recommendation! He is professional, timely, patient, responsible, knowledgeable and great with working with teenagers. He breaks down each element of the standardized tests and patiently goes over practice tests and concepts while always positively building up the test taker's confidence. He is always responsive to questions and acted as a team player with each of my sons and our family, keeping us informed of progress and how he was going to work through challenges. He somehow makes a stressful process such as standardized test preparation turn into sessions where my sons felt invested and worth their time and effort. Eli is simply wonderful! read more

My son worked twice with Eli from Collegible, and both times Eli has been awesome. We were happy with the process and the results. My son values his time with Eli and has gained a lot of skills while working with Eli. My son participated in the SBAC preparatory courses in February 2020. It was pre-pandemic, so it was organized in small group sessions in Collegible's offices. I was impressed by the organization and the curriculum that Eli has created. It is very professional, well timed and the printed material is very helpful. My son then worked with Eli on a 1:1 setting in October 2020 (during lockdown) over zoom to prepare for the HSPT. Eli prepared an efficient curriculum with the small amount of time we had left to prepare for the HSPT. Eli started with evaluating my son's strengths and weaknesses, and build an efficient path for my son to strongly increase his probability to get a higher score at the HSPT test. Eli has become our go to person for helping my son with key tests. read more

If you are looking for SSAT and/or ISEE test prep, I highly recommend Eli! I would also recommend him for any academic tutoring outside of the standardized test preparation as, at times, he assisted my son in concepts that were brought up in his regular course work too. In addition to assisting our son be well prepared for the standardized exams, Eli was so easy to work with. He's very clear in his instructions and kind too. I'll definitely reach out to Eli for our other children when needed. read more

I highly recommend Eli! He has helped tutor me for many year for SSAT, ACT and SAT and more recently with my grad school personal statement. He was very helpful in helping me work through my thoughts and concisely writing the best explained my career goals. read more

Eli was a fantastic tutor for my son and I would strongly recommend him for anyone taking the SSAT, or any other of the standardized tests. Here are some of the best things about Eli and his approach: -Right away, he established an easy rapport and trust with my son; -He's funny and engaging; -He provided test taking strategies that are not self-taught; -He taught my son strategies that helped him overcome tricks on the tests; and -He's honest, clear, and straightforward, and is excellent at communicating with adults and kids alike. Eli came highly recommended to me from a friend, and I will in turn recommend him highly to all of my friends! read more

I have known Eli for about 15 years. When it came time to find a tutor for my daughter, I knew exactly to call upon Eli for help. Not only does Eli have a strong academic background, but he has a friendly and comical personality that can command just about any student's attention. Eli was on time, responsible, and gave us great personal feedback. My daughter said Eli taught her a lot of test taking tips and he gave her a great confidence boost. My husband said it was totally worth it to pay to get a professional assessment. read more
