I was very disappointed! The place in general is very messy. Starting with the manager's office and the lobby. The carpet, the couches are nasty. It wouldn't recommend this place. You can find a one to one tutor for much less money.

Tutoring is not really a super exciting thing to review - that being said, as a parent that's…read moreexperienced good tutoring (ie: Higher Standards) and bad (they shall remain nameless), there's definately a difference. Higher Standards created an environment that allowed my daughter to learn effectively and actually show improvement (sounds like a pretty standard thing - but, there's the "other" place that didn't deliver). Convenience is also a factor they excell in - once, after my daughter left her books after a session, they showed up (after hours) to make sure I could get the books before school the next day. If your kids need tutoring - give them a call!

I went into Higher Standards' SAT course practically kicking and screaming.

However, when I arrived in class, Devon made learning about mundane grammar and mathematics into an entertaining experience through jokes and puns.

Elite SAT prep focuses on an individualized plan tailored to each student's needs.

My older son took the Elite Prep SJ Summer SAT program a few years ago. It prepared him well for…read morehis SAT. He became a National Merit Scholarship finalist and got 1580 on SAT. Although he ended up going to UCB which is test blind, but he also got in other top schools that do care about SAT scores. My younger son who was applying for high school, used Elite Prep's tutoring service to help him prepare for the High School Placement Test (HSPT). He was in the 70-80 percentile range when he first started taking the diagnostic exam, and he ended up getting 99 percentile on the actual test. He got in his #1 choice high school. Elite's test prep programs are not magic. It's not like you pay, then boom, you are guaranteed with high scores and admissions to top schools. The student has to be highly motivated, and put in lots of time, effort and sweats. Elite is there to guide the students and they know what they are doing, but they can't make "magic" happen if the student doesn't do their portion of hard work. For example, both of my boys did 4-6 months of test prep on their own with weekly practices, in addition to Elite's programs. That's what it took to reach their academic goals.
