Elite Educational Institute of Northridge

Teachers are nice, but this place is totally a garbage! I hate myself for spending money for fury. One star just for the teachers.

Elite offers different programs for all scholastic standardized tests — SAT, ACT, and SAT Subject tests. Their 6 week program can drastically improve your score if you were a 50^th percentile type student or boost you from 2100 to above 2300 if you’re a top student.
Students in the summer SAT boot camp have daily classes from 8:30am to 1pm. A strict regimen of 50 vocabulary words on flash cards are tested on each morning. Weekly full SAT testing is done every Monday to track progress of each student.
I highly recommend Elite for students entering their Junior year of High School.

It has been approximately five years since I have stepped foot in here so I might not have the best knowledge on the ratings of the current staff HOWEVER I can assure you that the philosophy and goals of this institution and its founding members really truly are «elite.» I took a summer bootcamp here for the SAT in 2008 or 2009 and although at the time I was not nearly as studious as I am today, I can look back as an adult and say wow that place was truly amazing for anyone looking for serious academic improvements. It is worth the money if you are serious about getting into any UC and Ivy League tiered colleges, but something that I failed to realize as an annoying ignorant teenager was that just attending the class will not give you the 2300. You need to put in a lot of effort, but with their guidance, they make it possible. I went from a 1200 to a 1700 without giving a care in the world about my scores (this includes doing the bare minimum and not completing all the homework). Not saying a 1700 is good (and trust me, if you think it is good, then you might be scared to know what people here believe is considered a «good» score. AND just for the record, I am pretty sure most people who came here started with a 1700 as their diagnostic score…), but I am just saying that if i could have gone back knowing what I know now, I could have gotten a much higher score.
Something I really enjoyed was that they disciplined us (by staying longer to study) if we did not get enough questions right on the routine vocabulary assessments. Honestly how many other places do you know where the manager/​head instructor cares enough to talk to your parents and discipline the students for not receiving a good score on a quiz? Most places do not care of the result of the students as long as they are raking in the money but they take a very…“asian”…approach here and I really liked it (By asian I am not trying to be racist or anything of the sort but I do believe the administrative faculty as well as the students were predominately asian… things might have changed since then though).
The only cons I have to say about this place is that it made me feel stupid at times. I would watch the ten year old Chinese boy in awe as he was doing advanced calculus…
Shout out to Mr. Wong the math teacher… but i doubt he still works here because that man was too brilliant and taught me the first things I ever learned about statistics and stock markets. MAN I wish this place offered LSAT tutoring just so I can go back…
