Featured Success Stories
In-depth stories of transformation from our students
Elite Tutoring completely transformed my approach to the SAT. I was initially scoring in the low 1200s and feeling discouraged. My tutor, Dr. Chen, immediately identified my weaknesses and created a personalized study plan. He taught me strategic approaches to the math section that made even the toughest problems manageable. The most impressive part was how he made me feel confident in my abilities. After three months of consistent tutoring, I scored a 1480 on my SAT—a 240-point improvement! This score helped me get accepted to my dream school with a scholarship.

I was on the verge of failing AP Calculus BC and losing my confidence in my ability to pursue engineering in college. My parents found Elite Tutoring, and I was matched with Dr. Williams. She had an incredible ability to break down complex calculus concepts into understandable steps. She identified gaps in my algebra foundation and helped me rebuild that knowledge while simultaneously keeping up with the AP curriculum. She created practice problems specifically targeting my weak areas. By the end of the year, not only did I pass my class with an A-, but I also scored a 5 on the AP exam!

The study skills I learned at Elite Tutoring have benefited me far beyond high school. Before working with Amanda, I was constantly overwhelmed by assignments and tests despite spending hours studying. She helped me develop a personalized organization system, taught me effective note-taking strategies, and showed me how to study smarter, not harder. The time management techniques were game-changers—I even have time for extracurriculars now! These skills helped me thrive in high school and gave me the foundation I needed for college success. I'm now excelling in my pre-med courses at UCLA.
