The CK SAT Prep System

CK Education is one of the best SAT and college/graduate prep that I have used. Mr. Kim is truly an expert in this field and has a very effective and time-efficient system that actually works unlike other academies that I had used. I have greatly improved my SAT scores with his strategies and was able to refine my college and graduate essays with his consulting. I am more than pleased with the results that I have gotten with his help and definitely recommend CK Education to other prospective students who are looking for SAT prep or college/graduate review and consulting. 

Thank you so much for not only helping me with SAT prep, but also for helping me with my college applications! I had an awesome time learning from you and I really learned so much about how to be a better student and person. I wouldn't have gotten accepted into all these schools without your help and here I am now at the University of Virginia. Thanks again! 

Charles Kim helped me increase my SAT score by 200 points. Mr. Kim was able to pinpoint my weakest skill sets and create a tailored curriculum that turned my weaknesses into strengths. Only after three short months, I was able to receive a significantly higher SAT score and apply to a wider range of universities and scholarships than I could have before. I am truly thankful for Mr. Kim’s tutoring, enthusiasm, and willingness to connect and work with me on an individualized basis.  We offer a range of special education services, including testing, evaluations, and support for students with learning disabilities. Our goal is to help students succeed academically and reach their full potential.

I have been working with Mr. Kim for many months and it has been a great experience. From the beginning, he has been honest about the future, yet has always encouraged me to follow my dreams. Even at my most worn out moments, he was patient and believed that I could put forth my best efforts and come out on top. Mr. Kim is dedicated to helping his students succeed. He helped me improve my SAT score vastly and taught me life lessons as a mentor. I look forward to learning more from him for college. 

Without Mr. Kim, I would have not been able to go through this whole painful college application process. The way he teaches SAT is so effective and analytical that I was able to easily find what my weaknesses and strengths were. In the end, I was able to improve my SAT score by 300 points. I also got huge support and help from Mr. Kim for my college essays. He made my essays look amazing and perfect. I really appreciate all the hard work, support, help, and advice he has given to me. 

As a rising junior I was beginning to feel the pressure of the seemingly impossible SAT exam. I had tried self studying and several other SAT tutors but Mr. Kim was undoubtedly the most helpful. He breaks down the SAT into very basic rules and practices that are a tremendous help to improving scores. Even after taking the test, I continue to use his grammar rules in my everyday life so it's safe to say that the impact of Mr. Kim's instructions reaches further than just the SAT exam. Mr. Kim not only helped me to improve my SAT score but also taught me valuable lessons that I will remember for the rest of my life.

Mr. Kim's method of teaching requires fewer hours of written work and delivers better results than other SAT tutors. For him, it’s not about making sure the test score goes up no matter what to protect his reputation; it’s about making sure the student is prepared for this test because he genuinely cares about each child he teaches. Mr. Kim has been a great tutor because he helped raise my scores from the low-1400’s to 1530 (out of 1600), but more importantly he’s been a wonderful friend and a valued mentor that has provided me immeasurable comfort during testing.

Charles Kim was critical to my success in both the SAT and my college applications. On the SAT, his many strategies helped me perfect my grammar skills and reduce my careless math errors, and his exercises and practice tests were vital towards improving my score by 240 points. He was incredibly helpful with advising me through deciding which colleges I should apply to and ensured that my essays catered to what the admissions officers were looking for. He cares about his students’ personal as well as academic interests and is dedicated to helping them succeed both in and out of school. He is a wonderful teacher, and it was a pleasure to work with him.

The best SAT tutor you’ll ever have. That’s how I would describe Mr. Kim.

The main difference between CK and alternative SAT prep methods is that your hard work produces results. Mr. Kim has an adaptive method of tutoring students which is tailored to every single individual-a quality which is hard to find amongst tutors. In addition to this, he truly cares about his students and likes to see them grow as scholars and individuals. You won’t regret choosing CK.

Mr. Kim’s methods to master the SAT are unique from any other and have therefore helped me reach my goal score. His strategy is customized according to each student and their performance and is therefore very effective at delivering results. In addition to teaching me effective test prep advice, he has also taught me so many valuable life lessons. Mr. Kim makes an effort to connect with each student, and I looked forward to every class I had with him as we would discuss many topics outside the SAT like entrepreneurship. Mr. Kim is more than a tutor, he is a great mentor and friend. From teaching me valuable advice and wisdom to helping me conquer the SAT to so much more, he has taught me so much, and I’m truly grateful for it. Thank you so much Mr. Kim!

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Kim during the toughest period of my high school experience. Mr. Kim has studied the intricacies of the SAT and summarized all the nasty tricks-- with easy ways to deal with them-- into a simple curriculum consisting of SAT laws and targeted practice. I did not realize just how solid his teachings were until I took the SAT about eight months after I had stopped working with Mr. Kim (due to COVID19), and, without any additional prep, scored extremely well. Trust the process! Mr. Kim knows what he is doing.

When preparing for the SAT in my junior year, Mr. CK helped guide me through one of the most challenging moments of my high school career. Uncertain of my test-taking capabilities, Mr. CK worked diligently and patiently with me over the course of many months to ensure that I felt confident and prepared to take my exam. No matter the day of the week, or even time of day, Mr. CK always assured me that I was able to contact him about any questions, allowing me to study efficiently in class and after. Not only have I been able to develop my SAT skills and achieve a fantastic score with Mr. CK, but I have also developed a relationship with a mentor whom I still learn and grow from as I begin my college career. With any anxieties, both in the academic world and in life in general, Mr. CK has become a shoulder I can lean on, and hope to continue doing so for many years to come.
