Elite Educational Institute of Torrance

Elite was very helpful to me when I was studying for my SATs in high school. The teachers and staff were very encouraging and supportive and cared about our improvement and learning. Thanks Elite!

Mr. Chu and his staff are great people, there to help those who are interested in academic success. I’ve attended here in the past when I was in middle school and in high school. English was not my first language and the classes that I took helped improve my English and my SAT scores.
The teachers were teachers from the surrounding school districts. The teachers were also very good at what they do best, teaching.
Mr. Chu took an active interest in my academics. He knew what my strengths and weaknesses were and advised on ways to advance my education by growing the strengths and diminishing the weaknesses.
If you have the desire to learn and to improve your scores, this is definitely the place for you!

It really is as good as it gets here. Most after school learning centers try to raise your score by simply exposing you to more and more practice exams — this you can do on your own without having to pay all that $$$. However, this place is different in that Elite has studied this test for so many years that they know how it’s structured, they know the types of questions that will be asked, etc. So they teach you strategy, they give you advice on what to look out for, etc. My SAT score increased by nearly 200 points after I attended Elite. Mr Chu genuinely cares about each of his students and the depth of knowledge he has regarding not only the SATs but about college requirements/​admissions/​etc is amazing and he is more than willing to help anybody out. The institution is organized, the teachers they select are professional and not merely intelligent but skilled in teaching. Highly recommend this place :)

This place has bumped my SAT score a lot. Mr. chu genuinely cares about the students. He has helped me throughout high school! Summer boot camp was actually fun!

Studying was never my thing. I slept through most of my classes and failed every weekly vocab exam miserably. But Mr. Chu never gave up on me. My parents sent me here so I could get a good SAT score. Not only did Mr. Chu raise my score, he opened my eyes to what my future could be like. My parents would whole heartedly agree with me on this– that man changed my life. I attended UC Berkeley, went on to law school and now have my own law firm. All this from that kid who sat in the back, head down, fast asleep with a hoodie over her head. Did I mention the headsets hidden under that hoodie? Thanks, Mr. Chu! Seriously. Thank you!

This place killed my joy for learning tbh. The sit-​until-​you-​memorize tactics work, to a certain degree, though. Tough ass Koreans. Good luck to everyone who goes here.
And be warned, this place isn’t for everyone. Save your money and your sanity and study by yourself.
