    I was incredibly fortunate to have James Pak as my mentor over the past two years. Initially, I…read morejust wanted help transferring to a four-year university and choosing the right classes. With his guidance, I was able to transfer from community college to USC after just one year. What sets James apart is that his support goes beyond college admissions. He provided resources on scholarships, research opportunities, student organizations, and internships. He also spent time helping me refine my resume and interviewing skills, which ultimately helped me land my first aerospace internship. James genuinely cares about his students' success, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for guidance with college admissions, career planning, or professional development.

I would trust his advice in this area (ie, classes etc.). He was very active in helping my son with his PIQs and common app. James helped him pick topics that James felt could reveal the most about my son and helped him brain storm ideas. My son was a bit stubborn and didn't follow his advice on some points which made writing a bit hard I think. James also showed him how to research and answer the why us essays. My son is usually a fast thinker and worker but writing about himself was a real struggle. We started with James late and wished we had found him sooner so that he wasn't trying to get through individual applications while studying for school. James helped my son get early action at USC, early admissions at Berkeley, and all the UCs with medical schools that he applied to. His UPenn admissions officer wrote a response about his essay that made him felt heard and understood. James doesn't make you feel like you have to do anything that isn't authentic to you to be "competitive"; he doesn't make you a cookie cutter applicant. His advice takes into account the individual. Thank you, James, for working with him.

    Elite is probably the most radical choice for your childrens' SAT/ACT needs, but if you're not…read morewilling to pay the thousands of dollars for tuition and your child will be unable to handle nearly 5 hours of work, you'll have to think twice. Elite is known to be a extreme form of a cram school similar to that of those in Asia, to instruct children to prepare for the SAT/ACT. It's a common thing everyday to walk into this place, you'll see portraits of very few kids smiling with a list of them getting incredibly high scores, in which also show which school they are attending now, and slogans for success and information about ivy league schools. I get it, this is to show that they've had success educating kids and they're mighty fine proud of that, but let's be honest, it is a little demeaning for other students struggling to make ends meet. In fact, I've overheard a parent teacher conference with the headmaster of this place (I will not say the name for confidentiality), and believe me, I've never heard so much bad mouthing about the student behind his back, such as how he/she is going to fail school and is never going to go to a "good" (which in their level is a Ivy League) school and he'll end up getting a job after high school. In addition, when I had my child go here, the workload was just unbelievable; I don't know whose idea it was, but he/she practically made my child work 5-6 hours on SAT prep material instead of the same school work that takes my child to college (also, if he failed to bring it, he would be subjected to detention/push ups/"demerits"). What is really disturbing is that there are also video cameras in each room and monitored by the staff; I don't care if it there was a stabbing long time ago, it's pretty invasive. Speaking of colleges, these people also look down on students who have no intentions of attending either UC or Ivy Leagues, regardless of the reason. With all due respect, what I really think these people can try to improve on is their perception on reality and realize these students are just kids who are/aren't suited for the tremendous work load provided; does stuffing millions of questions and answers really help? Because I guarantee not every kid they see holds the 300 IQ they are dreaming about. Despite my tone, don't boycott or spit at the headmaster, because even I know these people are trying very hard to trickle one child to get into yale and princeton and it's really difficult to handle a bunch of kids (for the record, I was a tutor for a after school program and THAT was no easy job), especially for the headmaster, who has to deal with few troublemakers; but they should at least give a damn about those who won't make it to the big leagues or have troubles instead of berating them and casting them on the side so the vultures can pick them. Bottom line? Parents, send your children here if you truly fear that your children may not become the next CEO, doctor, lawyer, etc., because this place is the 911 for that emergency; I will not lie that these people will literally work their fingers to the bone to stuff gargantuan amounts of assignments to show to you they really mean business, and that they are probably even better than any SAT/ACT prep schools. However, be cautious, because if you know your child is already struggling with the workload he/she has from school, then plan on your own discretion.

    I couldn't agree more with the previous post. They are a big company so they use marketing tools…read moreand money to attract customers. What they should do is spend on more qualified teachers. Instead of handing out work, they should have knowledgeable teachers who can pass on third knowledge instead of just having them grade papers. Try smaller academies in the area instead. There are more places who care about the students, not making money off of them.

    I highly recommend Justin and his team. Justin is professional, communicative, honest and…read moreunderstanding. He truly wants to help students put forth the best versions of themselves in the application process. Premier Prep is the ideal partner for navigating college admissions throughout the course of high school or simply if you need application help during senior year. I can't say enough good things about Justin and Premier Prep!

    Though Premiere Prep is typically geared towards high school students preparing for college, I used…read morethis company for hourly consultations for my academic transition. I didn't know it when I met him, but Justin was a game changer for me. I never knew the value or importance of receiving professional academic/career guidance. I can honestly say that I would not be nearly close to where I am today without Justin's guidance or support. He has helped me in my professional development through editing my resumes, interviewing skills, and most importantly, he saw my potential and helped me realize it too. His advice is honest and compassionate (though not necessarily what I always wanted to hear) and he wholeheartedly invested his time in me. Justin helped me transition through one of the most difficult times in my life between undergrad and post-undergrad at UCI. These days, I am proud to say I am at my top choice graduate program in occupational therapy. Whether it is college counseling or personal development, you couldn't be in better hands with Justin or his team at Premiere Prep.

    As a former student who attended Advance Prep and Education, I can easily say it was a great…read moreexperience and would recommend this to anyone!! I specifically came here when I was in high school for Calculus BC and was hoping to earn a 5 on my AP exam. I worked directly with both Mr. Han and Terri, who were both great at breaking down a tough subject into simple and understandable steps. I ended up earning a 5 on my exam and accomplished my goal. I couldn't say enough about their support. They are professional, organized, encouraging, and really good at what they do. I heard they have since expanded and offer more academic support for SATs, writing, and other AP subjects. Definitely check them out if you're interested in gaining academic support or studying for a national exam.

During my time in high school, I had a lot of trouble as the difficulty of class increased and the availability of my teachers and peers that could help were few. This institution was very supportive to my learning experience. All the tutors I have met here are very enthusiastic and patient about teaching their students. They come prepared with a lesson plan and really make sure everyone leaves understanding everything that was taught. If there were ever a problem, I would let them know and we would look at the problem together when we meet. All of the teachers are very professional. 10/10 would recommend for any students struggling.
