I registered my daughter for 10 semi-private sessions. (But last 2 sessions were private sessions) The tutors provided essential tips and strategies and helped her improve SAT scores. My daughter achieved the score that she wanted after completing all the sessions. Grayson cares about the students and he is very supportive in helping the students reach their goals. read more

Zenith tutoring is unbelievable!!! Grayson identified that ACT would fit my son better even though we hesitated initially. I would have never imagined he could get the perfect score of 36 after only a couple of months. I am so glad we made the decision to join Zenith. I highly recommend Zenith! Their program is really impressive: they characterize the general rules that are easy to understand; and drilled into each problem that my son missed and pinpointed a particular rule that he needed to work on. Thank you so much, Zenith, for improving my son's score to perfection. read more

I am not very happy with their style of teaching. I enrolled my daughter for 10 , 2 hours semi private sessions which cost 1650$. Which means I am paying 160$ an hour. My daughter diagnostic score was 1420. After 10 classes she is only scoring 1430-1450. And now coming to her class experience. There are usually 5 kids in the class and most of the classes she only got 20 mins of the tutor time. Which means I ended up paying 160$ for 20 mins sessions. 80$ for 10 min session is INSANE. Instead of this I could have hired some private tutor. I regret referring many of my friends :-( read more

My daughter always struggled with math in grade school and hated it. Then we discovered Grayson. He tutored her when she was in grade school and high school. She ended up getting a college degree in Quantitative Economics from Cal Poly and a masters in economics from the University of Edinburg in Scotland. She now works for the Department of Energy as an economist doing economic analysis on alternative energy sources. He took the time and effort to help her figure things out and gave her a love of math. I cannot recommend him more highly. read more

This was our first truly successful foray into tutors. All others were just kind of homework helpers, or, lots of exercises for practice...which is fine, but not what we were looking for. Alexina was really terrific. She challenged the 12 yo, Kid, worked on pre-algebra, found all sorts of engaging ways to teach, and was super, super flexible. Although the kid was not behind in math, her school followed a bit of a different curriculum, so Alexina filled in the gaps. Kid loved her, loved the math, and looked forward to her math sessions. Kid ended up starting in Algebra 2 seamlessly in high school. read more

We worked with Zenith in 2017 for ACT prep for freshman acceptance for the 2018/2019 college year. We were very happy with a lot of things about Zenith - the program itself was a very good mix of online tutorials, tests and in-class tutoring. That combo worked very well. Logistics with the office was helpful and smooth as well. My daughter got the score she wanted on the ACT and entrance to the University she wanted as well. A very positive experience. read more

I have nothing but good things to say. I drastically improved my score (almost 400 points) after the consultation, training, and various strategies I learned during my time at Zenith. Grayson is undoubtably the best there is as he teaches the subtle techniques you won't find online. It comes down to the saving seconds and getting even a couple more questions correct, and at a Zentih they help those seconds and correct answers multiply. My advice to all parents and students looking at test prep options, stop looking - You've found the best there is in Zenith. read more

I haven't worked with Zenith for too long, but without them I would have never had the confidence to take my ACT exams. The tutor I had was very understanding and helpful, and I was comfortable asking her anything. The materials they provide to help was excellent and easy to work with. I appreciate that they had a variety of tutors that could help with different subjects ranging from the ACT and SAT to any subject at school. The tips and tricks they have given me will always stick with me and help me a lot in the future! I would definitely recommend them:) read more

I started the journey with Zenith back in the summer of 2016 with our eldest son. I thought it was very good idea that they gave him both SAT and ACT tests to see which he could improve the most on, types of questions he missed, etc. They suggested that he study for the ACT. He did very well and finished the test by October 2016. My eldest son took the semi private classes and thought that all the teachers helped him a lot. The materials and videos were thorough and gave him enough practice. At the end, it was great that we could check this exam off the to-do list barely into 11th grade and with a 35. I saw some kids still taking these standardized tests in 12th grade. I would think that it would add considerable stress to the student while writing college essays and applying to colleges. You really want to front load as much of these test as possible. Zenith helped us with that. Now, we just signed up for our younger son and he'll be doing the same and hopefully he can also be done with the ACT by October. read more

Alexina Vellequette at Zenith Tutoring (Palo Alto Center) has delivered exceptional care and teaching (SAT Math 2 Prep) to my daughter. Zenith's Office Manager, Katie Nickison, is the kindest, most caring, and friendliest person, who I highly respect. Many thanks to Katie and Alexina for all your help, kindness, prompt attention, devotion, and respect. read more

My son got the perfect ACT score with tutoring from Grayson, on the ACT test on 17th April 21. Also, the tutoring was for just 5 semi-private classes. Do we need to say any more!! read more

Excellent coaching center, the practice they give makes one perfect. My daughter did SAT training with Zenith and we are very much impressed by their focus and commitment. My daughter achieved her goal in SAT scoring. The material and online portal is excellent. I highly recommend Zenith to aspiring test takers. read more

Our daughter raised her score tremendously! The teachers are very strategic on how to maximize your score and effort. We couldn't have done it without Zenith's expertise. Grayson is very flexible and provide a great experience. My daughter really liked the tutors too. Highly recommend Zenith! read more

Grayson was very instrumental in helping our daughter find the best approach to navigate the ACT. She was able to greatly improve her score with his help and guidance! Thank you so much. read more

Zenith tutoring helped me immensely during the college application process. My ACT score jumped 4 points from where I started. I still use the test taking skills I learned at Zenith in college today. I also received help with my college admission essays. It can be hard to come up with topics to write about, but the tutors at Zenith, Lynn in particular, allowed me to sort my thoughts so that I could really show my personality through my essays. Reading my essays from the first draft to what I submitted to colleges, I can see such a huge difference. I highly recommend Zenith! read more

I had a wonderful experience at Zenith tutoring. Grayson was very professional and patient. It was easy to schedule appointments. They provided a quiet space for me work on my material on my own and would help guide me along the way. I've had friends children who've gone to Zenith for help with different high school subjects as well and they have all had a good experience. Highly recommend this place! read more

I had purchased a package for my daughter. She ended up taking the SAT before she started tutoring. She was happy with her score and decided not to do the tutoring. Even though she had taken the initial evaluation SAT, they gave me a full refund. read more

I had such a great experience with Zenith and their tutors. When I did private ACT tutoring a few years back I came in with a score I wanted to get and ended up scoring 2 points ABOVE what I wanted! They have a lot of great tips and tricks that make the test seem more manageable, their tutors are very helpful, and they have great online homework explanations! I also used Zenith tutoring on a few other occasions for math tutoring with a lot of success as well. Definitely recommend! read more

Grayson and Zenith Tutoring played a very crucial part in helping my daughter achieve her maximum potential in the SAT. The Perfect Score Program was a great match for her needs and helped her get the Perfect score of 1600 in her first attempt. The program is very customizable based on each student's needs and Grayson provides detailed personal guidance. The quest for closing the final gap is very difficult and needs a combination of content mastery, access to a large set of practice tests, as well as test-taking techniques. My daughter received very targeted coaching and tips from Grayson to close the gaps. We wholeheartedly recommend Zenith tutoring to anyone aiming towards achieving high percentile results in the SAT. read more

My son had a fantastic experience at Zenith. Grayson and his whole team are outstanding. They were able to pinpoint his weaknesses and then focused on those areas so that he did not waste time. They tutored him for the ACT and the Math 2 subject test. He did extremely well on both tests. He tried other tutors, and Zenith tutoring is by far the most efficient and effective. read more

After a long search for an SAT tutor for my daughter, and a couple failed attempts with bad private tutors, I figured there must be a better way. And Zenith is that better way. They combine a process of live classroom help, but they also mix in pre-recorded video tutorials, which are used in and out of class, and the classes are very small group sessions. My daughter didn't really want a formal structured class, but wanted help where she needed it. This was the perfect balance. My daughter greatly improved her SAT score after committing to Zenith, and it did take a commitment of course. Zenith is proof that new tech-based approaches to learning need to become an education standard. read more

Zenith did a great job helping my son preparing for his SAT and after several attempts, they carefully evaluated the issues and the best instructors to achieve a score of over 1,400. Robin was very proactive aligning the best instructors to maximize the math score. She not only assigned one but two of the best instructors to achieve the goal, and indeed the score was above 1400. This is a great company to work with. Highly recommend. read more

Our son was one of the first students in the Perfect Score Program last year. After taking the diagnostic ACT and SAT tests at Zenith, it was clear that the ACT was the test for him. He attended 10 sessions during the summer and then took the ACT for the first time in September and got a 36! I had signed him up for the October test in case it was needed, but was so happy to cancel it. Grayson's program worked with our son getting better and better at the test at each session. We were very happy with everyone at Zenith and we will sign up our daughter for test prep at Zenith soon. read more

My daughter did SAT training with Zenith and we are very happy and I highly recommend Zenith for SAT test-takers. I am sure the same goes for ACT takers too. Grayson is superb and he taught her subtle techniques and my daughter achieved her goal. He is super nice and my daughter had a great time. read more

I can't recommend Zenith enough. My daughter took their SAT prep class and also worked with Adam as a weekly private tutor in Math. She really blossomed and gained so much confidence in her ability. She took the SAT for the first time as a senior and scored over 700 in each area. Zenith said they could help her improve even further but we were very happy. She ended up with an academic scholarship to USC and is performing better than she did in high school. read more

We have been very pleased with the help that Zenith and Grayson provided to our two daughters. The programs available at Zenith are flexible enough to be able to tailor to our daughters' strengths and weaknesses. They both achieved the ACT and SAT scores they desired which helped them secure admission to their top school choices. We highly recommend Grayson and his team at Zenith. read more

Grayson is an excellent SAT tutor. Very knowledgable, thorough and decorated. He generates the best prep material and coaches the students to do their best read more

High marks for Grayson and the Zenith Tutoring team! My son was enrolled in the Perfect Score program for the ACT. In a short time span (about 7 weeks), the Zenith program helped my son significantly improve his scores (especially in reading and science, in which he needed the most help). The live sessions with Grayson were very productive and he was also very accessible in between sessions to answer questions. The Zenith portal has a lot of useful practice (homework) material for students to go through. Overall, my son had a great experience and the results speak for themselves! I highly recommend Zenith for test prep. read more

Zenith's ACT and SAT tutoring programs were game changing in our boys scores. One of our boys got a 34 in ACT after working with them for a short time and the other one got a 1580 in SAT. Zenith's strategies, lesson plans and approach are very unique and very personalized. Their tutors are very friendly, take time to review progress and give very good feedback on what to focus on etc. When they guarantee a score increase they mean it, and it works! read more

My daughter attended Zenith SAT class. She received a 1580, about 80+ improvement after 10 weeks! I feel so lucky and grateful for what Zenith offered her, the very best quality classes! The tools Zenith used, combining fundamentals and a customized focus, worked really well for my daughter. The instructors there are great. My daughter says that Andrew is really sharp and he is good at hitting the point concisely when explaining concepts to students. Ben is nice and responsible. He patiently explained to me regarding my concerns through emails and phone calls before we decided to use Zenith. I recommended Zenith to one of my friends. Her son got 34 on ACT, a 4 point improvement after 10 sessions. They are very satisfied too. Zenith is definitely a reliable place where staff are enthusiastic, smart and trustworthy. read more

I highly recommend Zenith Tutoring for SAT and ACT prep. My daughter's ACT score went from a 32 to a 35 after 10 sessions at Zenith over the summer. Grayson and his team have designed a winning program that teaches their students what they need to know in a very efficient format. Students are able to study on their own with prerecorded videos and still benefit from 1:1 help during designated classroom sessions. Compared to the private tutoring that my other daughter went through, Zenith offered a more affordable and flexible approach that produced better results. I also appreciate that Grayson was always available for advice on the exam. This is a very well-run center, and I am grateful for all the help provided to my daughter. Thank you! read more

I went through multiple courses looking for the perfect tutor for SAT or ACT: one day courses, group based lessons, individualized coaching sessions, and classes where I consistently took the test every week. With each of these courses neither my score improved nor did I feel that I had learned something from this process. Unlike other places, Zenith puts a lot more effort into helping the students help themselves. Every other company or strategy I've tried has taught me in a much more formal way: the tutor giving a generic lesson. Zenith individualizes each lesson. They specifically honed in on the issues I was facing, for example I struggled on purpose of piece questions in the English section or with a confidence boost before an exam. To actually see my ACT score increase from 32 to 34, I was ruthless about finding my mistakes, I spent hours each week completing the homework applying the strategies, my mentor had given me, for conquering the critical reading section. Zenith provides with the highest quality practice materials and great mentors. read more

Zenith fixed my essays up until (literally) the last second before the deadline, helped me make a (very) detailed list of colleges and then choose between UChicago and MIT(Class of 2020!), and most importantly, gave me peace of mind. My counselor helped me discover more about myself in the often frightening admissions process and then express it all so that colleges could see the very best me. Thanks Zenith for all that you do, and keep being awesome!! read more

Zenith helped my son achieved perfect scores for both SAT Math II (800) and ACT (36) in one attempt. For Math II, my son scored a 720 on the initial Zenith practice test and with only 2 private sessions with Zenith (+several self practice tests), he nailed the 800. For ACT, my son was in the perfect score program where the owner Grayson taught. Grayson focused on the areas that my son needs attention and introduced strategies that worked. Per my son, Grayson knows the standardized test very well and was targeted in his approach. Zenith has a complete library of videos which provides clear explanation of topics in the test. Not only did my son learn test taking strategies, he also learned how to learn from his mistakes. Grayson's encouragement to my son also helped boost his confidence, in all, Grayson's help is critical in my son getting the 36. I highly recommend Zenith for test prep. Thank you, Grayson! read more
