Elite Educational Institute of San Ramon

Elite is a great tutoring center to go to. The accelerated courses that it offers are very rigorous, and were the classes that my daughter enrolled in. It was definitely a change in pace from the self-​studying that she had done previously for her SAT. The mock tests that are administered are known to be more difficult than the actual tests. This temporarily ups the pressure on the student, but the end results are well worth it. Elite is a bit pricey, but if you can afford it and your child is driven and motivated (and willing to do lots of work), then the results will definitely show.

ELITE!
EEI is probably the most renowned in the area for tutoring services, and personally, I believe its fame is well-​deserved.
I took the Summer SAT classes here, under the tutelage of Ms. Keppel, Mr. Bratner, and Mr. Collins (for reading, writing, and math, respectively). All three are both passionate and erudite.
I think success with Elite — 2300+ on the CB SAT as a sophomore — stems not from a revolutionary curriculum or mind-​blowing lectures, but from achieving excellence through practice. Every week starts off with a practice SAT test, then mistakes are corrected and lessons are given. Although the rote exercise is tedious, it is nevertheless efficacious in raising your scores. The repetition of taking the test and realizing your errors lead you to become more conscious of your usual areas of weakness, which you begin to naturally focus on through the course.
Can your child attain success on his/​her SAT goal without Elite, or any tutoring center for that matter? It’s possible. But realistically, many teens are lazy and unwilling to self-​study. For me, Elite served as a catalyst for me to really kick into full gear for the upcoming SAT. I recommend giving it a chance, and if you truly commit to it, success will be ineluctable.
