Elite Prep - Fremont, California

Grace Huang

Though I was initially intimidated by how rigorous the schedule and policies were at Elite, they were just what I needed to learn in order to excel at taking the SAT.
Elite Prep Fremont helped me to not only improve my SAT score but also my work ethic. After memorizing 25 vocabulary words every day and getting quizzed on them right away, taking multiple full-length tests week after week and going over methodical ways to approach each question with teachers in class, my test-taking confidence skyrocketed, allowing me to perform well on test day. (improvement of 400 points compared to my diagnostic test for the old SAT)
I highly recommend Elite to anyone who is looking to improve their SAT score and/or work ethic. Not only are both of these things beneficial in one's college admission process, they also come in handy after one goes to college.

I was a student during Elite's summer SAT boot camp, and Elite definitely pushes you to surpass your boundaries. There's a lot of work and much of it requires intense focus, but I felt that none of it was 'busy-work' or work simply given just to give work. My teachers really cared about my performance and took personal investments in seeing me succeed. They sometimes stayed after class to address my questions and were really good at explaining things in ways that I could understand. In the end, I really enjoyed my summer experience at Elite, and my SAT scores showed it. It wasn't easy, but it was WORTH IT.

We have nothing but great things to say about Elite, Fremont and its director Walter Kim. We initially went to him at the end of sophomore year and took a diagnostic SAT test. The results were quite good and he told us we didn’t need to take his class, and the only reason we may want to consider it is if we wanted to so that it would ensure a regular practice schedule and further maximize our score. This kind of honesty and straight forward attitude is rare. We decided to take the class. His teaching staff and the practice tests helped us a lot and we ended up getting a fantastic score on the SAT.

Walter is extremely knowledgeable about the college application process. What we really appreciate about him is his no-nonsense attitude and the way he provides his honest opinion – he tells it the way it is, which is extremely beneficial. You can tell he genuinely cares for his students and is always there to help and guide them. Penny and others from Walter’s staff have been great as well.

Knowing what we know today, my advice for prospective students and parents would be to approach Walter Kim starting from the freshman year of High School. I would not choose any place other than Elite Fremont for College Test Prep. Elite, Fremont is truly ‘elite’. A big Thank You to Walter Kim and his staff.

Elite's teachers were so good and they made the boring lessons about SAT super fun. Penny the receptionist disciplined us very well and kept us on task. Walter's consultations were very helpful in my understanding of the SATs. Fremont Elite branch is by far the best Elite branch.

I’ve been lucky enough to have Jesse, from Elite Prep of Fremont, as my math teacher since July 21, 2019. This year, we’ve worked on AP Calculus BC, and there’s a reason why I’ve stuck with him so long: how much I get out of meeting with him. Coming from a math background, I usually come into our classes knowing exactly what I’ve wanted to go over, and he’s totally unflappable with any content I ask him about; he’s that knowledgeable and authoritative in the subject matter. Before each test, I bring in any questions I have and all of my relevant homework that I struggled with, and when my school Calc class has a lull, I ask him to preview the upcoming material to stay ahead of the curve. He’s also always been really committed to relating what we’re talking about to the AP Exam itself. In addition to our great rapport, he instills a lot of confidence in me because he drills so hard and explains so well in the concepts that the school tests seem like a breeze. He’s a really smart, kind, and helpful teacher. Right now we’re working on the area in between curves and using the shell method, and I’ve found it just as helpful as I have for the past three and a half years.

Elite really helped me to increase my SAT score and reach my ultimate goals in my high school career. I made some great friends along the way who are still close to me today, and I couldn’t have done it without Elite Prep Fremont. It was truly a great experience.

My son took the SAT prep course here last summer. The teachers and staff were phenomenal and kept my son not only engaged in his studies but also provided helpful guidance for college applications. I would highly recommend this program to anyone!
