Elite Educational Institute of Los Angeles

Best SAT preparation center ever! I have been to other companies before and Elite was the best one. My score really improved a lot and gained so much from the program!

This place is AWESOME!
I am currently sending my two sons for SAT summer prep classes. They are showing remarkable improvements. Yes the courses are rigorous and they are studying until late at night but they are learning the the materials that were not taught in school. Class sizes are small and teachers are very knowledgeable on their subject matter. They aRe attentive to the needs of individual students. They even offer free tutoring for students needing extra help.
I’m a high school teacher and I thought I knew enough information about high school courses and college admissions. Boy I was wrong. After taking to director Kim, she made me realized so many things that I was not aware of and proposed directions and pathways for my two sons.
I highly recommend this place. If your kid wants to improve their SAT score, this is the place.

I can’t say enough about this place. Run, don’t walk and please get your child here.
My daughter has learned so much by coming here and she comes out of Elite confident and happy that she is learning the material.
We are looking forward to starting the AP review classes in history soon!!!
thank you Elite for a great experience.

As the parent to two girls, I can attest to the effectiveness of Elite’s summer SAT boot camp. Both girls had diagnostic tests of around 1800. After the summer boot camp, one raised her score to 2230, the other to 2270. A word of warning: your child can’t just show up for classes. They have to attend regularly, do all the homework and study those vocabulary cards. If they put in the effort, they can raise their scores by over 400 points.

If you are a Tiger offspring chasing that perfect SAT score, then this is THE place for you. You will most likely be surrounded by Asians as this place was established by a Korean American and is located in K-​town.
Elite staff will help you raise your SAT score to the best of their ability. It may not be a pretty place, but it is pretty serious. Another reviewer mentioned that it is like paying $ 1 for each SAT point. It is more like $ 10 for each point.
Winter Boot Camp half-​day session goes from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. for a total of 8 days = $ 630, including registration fee. Full day goes ’til 6 p.m. By that time you’ll be seeing double and hoping to scale a window to freedom. Stay though, as it is costing your parents more than $ 1000.
Do your best, do not procrastinate — give much time to prepare and study, follow what they tell you, and you will succeed.
Best of luck.
The Unilocal map to this place is incorrect at the time of writing. Metered street parking. If you are picking up from the 3 hour diagnostic test, put more money in than you think as it will take you at least a couple of hours to go over the test with their staff — at least this is how long it took me. It was painful to come back to a $ 65 ticket. Front door closes at 1 p.m. on Saturdays so you have to go in the back entrance.

Sadly, one cannot give 0 stars, but if I could, I would give this place 0. I have to admit, this place does help a student to improve the score, but at what cost? It’s definitely not worth it. Elite prides itself in its ability to catch and stop cheaters; however, when they are unwarrantedly accusing people in the name of «in the real SAT, then the child’s happiness instantly plummets. At Elite, one is expected to sit still and not move, except for the hand so one can write something. Move around alot and BOOM! Instant «you’re a cheater» and get your test taken away. Yet, they can’t seem to stop those who cheat on the daily vocab quizzes, who are BLATANTLY cheating RIGHT in front of the very cameras used to supposedly «stop» cheating. All these cameras seem to do is spot those who are moving around consistently throughout the test, actions that unjustly deem the mover as cheaters. What happens if the child has a neck crank and is trying to stretch? Focus issues? hmm? No, they don’t pay attention to these «excuses». The people at Elite seem to only care about their money and improving the scores of people to boost their reputation.

Omg, I totally hated Elite when my parents forced me to go there.
I think it works for a lot of Asians who just memorize and spit out whatever they memorized, but I’m not that Asian even though I’m Asian. whatever. I need someone to explain to me and help me understand why certain things are so. I can’t just memorize this happens like this because of that, you know what I mean?
Anyway, I hated going there, and even though I went anyway, I didn’t put any effort to try. I just did the basic minimum, so obviously my SAT scores didn’t go up or down.
And the people there are sooo Asian. I’m like omg. But yea, I think Kaplan sucks too. And Princeton Review just rips you off. I suggest just getting a one-​on-​one tutor to give you the right kind of learning situation you need to do well. Because not everyone learns the same way, you know what I mean?
Anyway, I personally had this tutor named Todd whom I was referred to by Laurie Brown for SAT tutoring (but he doesn’t tutor anymore, he’s like producing movies or TVs or I’m not sure). Laurie Brown also referred me to this girl Ellen Richards who helped me with AP stuff and the rest of the SAT stuff that I was supposed to do because everybody loves to make life that much more complicated. Anyway, now I’m in college, and looking forward to finding a job by the time I graduate in a year… ha. ha. yeah…

i actually went to another elite location, but i was too lazy to create a separate business listing. anyhow, this place rocks. i took my SATs back-​in-​day when it was still out of 1600, and elite helped me to get some pretty decent scores. it’s well worth the small fortune my parents paid. $ 1 for every point.
kaplan ain’t got nothin’ on this place!
