What Past Students Have Said

Harry Abrams | River Hill HS | University College London

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.

Rachel Zhang | The Bryn Mawr School | Boston College

I couldn’t have asked for a better tutor and life coach than Mr. Kim. Though he guides several students through the SAT and college application process, he was always there to provide the individualized support I needed—and in the most critical moments of my journey. He’s strengthened me academically and mentally. I cannot thank him enough for the impact he’s made on both the end of my high school career and the beginning of this new chapter in my life. All my best to you, Mr. Kim! 

Leah Kim | Sherwood HS | New York University

From the beginning Mr. Kim was so patient and encouraging with me. With his help I was able to improve my SAT score by hundreds of points. He helped me reach a goal that I often doubted was possible. And to top that, he was even willing to help me with my college essays, ensuring that I was successful in every part of my college admission process. Without his guidance, I wouldn’t be where I am today. 

Joseph Lim | Reservoir HS | University of Maryland College Park

Mr. Kim has efficiently and effectively taught me the rules and shortcuts of the SATs. When I first took my practice SAT test, I got a terrible score. However, with the help and encouragement from Mr. Kim, my SAT score increased by over 500 points. He has walked beside me at every step of the college application process, from applying for financial aid to writing the college essays. I can honestly say that I have my full trust in Mr. Kim because of his passion as a teacher who genuinely wants me to succeed.  

Brandon Liu | Mt. Hebron HS | U of Maryland Baltimore County

Thank you so much for streamlining the college application process! The SAT prep class really helped me dodge the stress that most who preparing for the test are prone to. Your advice was easy to follow and to the point, improving my score so much more than I was expecting. I also appreciate your input on matters beyond the SAT and college essays. You’ve really made transitioning from high school to college much less daunting. Thanks again!  

Hannah Clemons | Roland Park Country School | Penn State University

I have had so many different tutors and none of them have helped me as much as Mr. Kim did. He is the kind of person who genuinely wants to help you succeed. In the end, my SAT scores shot up to a score that I had never even imagined. He also helped me with my college essays and applications. He helped me discover my strengths, which allowed me to find out what I wanted to major in. I am so thankful to have had Mr. Kim’s help, and I know that I can count on him if I need any help in the future. Thank you. 

Won-Young Chang | Bethesda-Chevy Chase HS | University of Michigan

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. 

Daniel Yi | River Hill HS | United States Military Academy West Point

Hello Mr. Kim:

I hope you have been doing well considering the current situation. Thanks to your English SAT tutoring and essay revising, I have been able to secure and accept my appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point. I also was deciding between UCLA and the University of Southern California with ROTC scholarships but ultimately decided on USMA. I would not have reached this point (pun intended) without your help. Thank you for all you have done on my behalf and I will do my best to develop a successful mindset at West Point. Let us continue to be in touch moving forward. Take care again and stay healthy.
