College prep with Mr. Kim has really prepared me for SATs/college. I would not have wanted to go through the hardest time of high school with anyone else. By following and learning from his very specific essay outline to his grammar rules, it guarantees you a significant increase in your score. Also, his advice and guidance for the real world has better prepared me for life after college. I have become a wiser student and person because of him.
Having Mr. Kim prepare me for the SAT and college was probably one of the best decisions I've made. Mr. Kim genuinely cares for the student both in and out of the academic environment. On top of that, he is an excellent teacher. I remember when I first started, my score was about an 1800. By the middle of my junior year, my SAT score was a 2270. An outstanding teacher and a great friend, Mr. Kim was one of the most influential people in my life.
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.
Mr. Kim helped me understand the general college application process and honestly critiqued my essays. I still call him to get his professional advice about internships/careers. He has been a really great resource.
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.
Charles Kim is not just a teacher, but more importantly, a mentor. While he singlehandedly raised my struggling SAT writing section 110 points in one single test, and helped me score the perfect essay, he taught me also to enjoy learning and improving myself. I'm doing better than I could have ever dreamed at the George Washington University, and it's all thanks to Mr. Kim.
Mr. Kim’s SAT teaching system is extremely efficient, and it helped me raise my score exponentially. I’ve been to several different tutors; some of whom are known as “great” instructors, but Mr. Kim was by far the best. Mr. Kim values quality over quantity, and his instruction to study the right problems for one hour instead of the wrong problems for many hours was just the advice I needed to increase my score.
I took many different SAT classes and CK Education was the only one that showed and promised me a definite improvement with my SAT score. Mr. Kim gave me his honest opinion about my weaknesses and strengths, which is hard to get from other SAT prep courses that just follow a curriculum or book. I never thought I could improve my writing section score but through Mr. Kim, it became my strongest section. The one on one sessions are great and helped me to focus better.
Among all of the SAT prep teachers I had encountered, Mr. Kim had the most experience with students who struggle to get a higher score. I needed help with all parts of the exam and Mr. Kim stepped right in to develop me to become better with his care and patience. I would not have been accepted into Virginia Tech without his foremost support. Mr. Kim guided to me to be mature and patient with the many situations I encounter in life. He is the most significant person I have ever met.
I can never thank Mr. Kim enough for his support. Mr. Kim is not only an excellent and organized teacher but also a great motivator who inspires me to learn more and improve myself. He created a personalized strategy for me to improve my weaknesses while maintaining my strengths. After much practice with Mr. Kim, I was confident and knew what exactly I had to do when I had the real SAT test booklet in front of me. I am so glad that I met Mr. Kim and thank him for assisting me in raising my SAT score so much.
The college process is something nobody wants to do alone. Mr. Kim was truly able to help me survive and give me the best opportunity to go to a college of my liking. The SAT prep class was much more than raising a numerical value. He was able to not only help me with my SAT score but also teach me lessons and values to influence good decisions in the present and the future. Mr. Kim was not only a tutor but also a mentor who was able to offer advice and guide me through a difficult time.
Mr. Kim, if I had never received your help I have no idea how lost I would still be. As the first child in my family none of us really knew how to do things and what to expect, but with your help I didn’t feel as hopeless. I was able to improve 380 points on my SAT and find out everything I needed to know for the college application process. Your system for SAT prep was unlike any other teachers’. I went to you for all sorts of advice, and you always willingly helped me. I really appreciate everything you’ve done for me.
Mr. Charles, you are a lifesaver! I started studying for the SATs during my freshman year as I wanted to get it out of the way for a less stressful high school career. I never knew I could raise my score so effectively and effortlessly with just simple concepts and formats. I'm happy to say that studying with you helped me not only on my SAT but also in school. It gave me an advantage over everyone as well as a score I can be proud of. Thanks for helping me raise my score to a 2270! :)
Mr. Kim not only prepares you for college but he also gives great advice on every aspect of life. Without his excellent critiques on my essay, I don’t think I would have received admissions from various colleges and generous scholarship offers from several institutions. Mr. Kim truly knows what admission officers look for in a student’s essay. I’m glad I got to know Mr. Kim, and I know his guidance will also be helpful to many other students.
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!
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 around a 1550. 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.
Thinking about college is stressful, but on top of that, having to study for the SATs, complete college applications, and keep up with school work adds a whole new aspect to it. Having Mr. Kim guiding me through each step from the beginning was so helpful. He taught me everything I needed to know to succeed in all aspects, and helped me manage my time in a comfortable way. Some days, I did not have confidence, but Mr.Kim boosted my self-esteem and encouraged me to exceed my own expectations.
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!
I started out with a solid 1800 on my first practice test. Something about Mr. Kim's preparation was different. I felt like he had a "SPECIAL FORMULA" to increase my SAT score that other educational companies weren't aware of. I started to see the patterns of mathematics and writing concepts and understand each problem fully. I ended up getting a 2260 on my final SAT, but no matter who you are, Mr. Kim is the answer to your problems, and I am not hesitant to say that he is one of the best in college prep.
I am having a lovely time at Penn State and it’s all thanks to Mr. Kim! He was not only a really good SAT teacher, but also a mentor who guided me through difficult times. He helped me focus on school, raise my SAT scores by almost 400 points, and most importantly, explored my options and chose the right school for me. I am loving my university and it is hard to believe that I never would have considered this school if it weren’t for Mr. Kim. I hope more students get the opportunity to have him as a teacher.
Learning under Mr. Kim has been one of the best choices I’ve made in my high school career. Mr. Kim alleviated the stress of the SAT and college application process with his efficient tactics and formulas. Not only did he help me become better equipped to attack the SAT’s and raise my score by 700 points, but also guided me through the college process step by step. One of the most well rounded and most influential people I have ever met, Mr. Kim is someone I would definitely recommend.
Mr. Kim has been the only SAT teacher that I have ever had. When I first started his classes, I started off at a 1650. After taking the December 2014 SAT, my final score had risen to a 2320. His systematic teaching and his detailed explanations on how to tackle each of the sections helped me understand how to beat the test. In addition, Mr. Kim has given much advice on college related matters and has helped me in trying to achieve my dream of going to medical school.
Mr. Kim helped me so much with SAT prep and college essays. I have had experience with many different SAT programs and teachers and by far, Mr. Kim has been the most helpful. He is extremely patient and truly does care about his students. The grammar rules, math rules, and essay outlines really helped my score, and his critiques on my college essays vastly improved them. He also gave me advice about classes in school and internships, and I do not think I would have made the right decisions without him.
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.
While you helped me increase my SAT score by 400 points in around 8 months, you also gave me so much knowledge and words of wisdom about life. I can't thank you enough for encouraging me and giving your opinion on the things that worried me like my family, friends, and my future. There are so many things that you have done for me and I really do believe that you are one of the most important figures in my life. You are my role model and you do not understand how much I admire you. Thank you again!
Mr. Kim not only encouraged me to strive for the best, but also gave me the confidence and drive to tackle any situation, whether it be SAT, ACT, or a regular test in class. He also talks to his students about everyday life and relates situations they might have with experiences of his own, instead of just handing out practice test after practice test. I can say for myself that after having Mr. Kim as my tutor, my SAT scores improved greatly and I unlocked characteristics hidden in me that I never knew were there.
My mom made the best decision she ever made by introducing me to Mr. Kim. He is not like any other tutor who just makes students take practice tests in a book. He shared and taught me the secrets of the SAT and how I can improve my score. He supported me by focusing and strengthening my weaknesses. Mr. Kim is a knowledgeable, kindhearted and respectable mentor. Not only was he a distinguished mentor but also a father figure to me who guided me through my struggles with genuine encouragement.
Mr. Kim was not only an excellent educator, but also an inspirational mentor and friend. By studying the material that he gave me, my SAT scores improved to a level that I had never imagined. What makes him so special is that he’s able to formulate such memorable life lessons by taking the time to talk with his students instead of just going from one practice test to another. Overall, Mr. Kim is such an honest man and I can’t thank him enough for being a part of my life. Thank you!
Mr. Kim was always so supportive and determined to help his students improve, and I am thankful that I had the opportunity to work with him. He creates a strong connection with his students that makes each class enjoyable. The rules and tactics he teaches to correctly approach the SAT has helped me improve my score by 400 points. I will forever be thankful to have met a mentor who cares so much about both my successes and struggles.
I've had multiple experiences with SAT classes as well as tutors in general, but Mr. Kim's lessons were without a doubt not only the most effective, but the most enjoyable. He knows exactly what he is doing, and I felt reassured almost immediately after I started my lessons. I am extremely grateful for both his well organized learning plan and his valuable life advice. There was a significant increase in my score despite the limited time I had with him. Mr. Kim is someone who is wonderful teacher and a joy to talk to!
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.
When I went to Mr. Kim I didn’t have any expectations because I only had a limited time to raise my score. Some days I wanted to give up on the SAT’s, but whenever I went to Mr. Kim, I left his office with a burning desire to keep studying. I was confident in his methods not because of other people’s results, but because Mr. Kim was always confident in his own teachings. Mr. Kim’s realness helped me overcome my insecurities. The results were real; all I had to do was believe. I just want to say, thank you Mr. Kim!
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.
Before I met Mr. Kim, I was an absolute wreck. My GPA was low; my first SAT score was in the 1300s out of a possible 2400. However, with his wisdom, patience, humor, positivity, and insightfulness, I was able to raise my GPA and SAT score significantly. He helped me with personal issues and offered advice that changed my academic and personal life. Mr. Kim is the most influential person I have met, and I am thankful for his encouragement, instruction, advice, and most importantly, our friendship.
Working with Mr. Kim has made me a better standardized test taker, student, and person. With his very specific essay formula, concise, but very important grammar rules, and effective critical reading strategies, he has helped me master the writing section of the SAT and significantly improve my critical reading score. Even though he expects a lot from you, everything that he assigns is beneficial. He was my first tutor and probably my last, and I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him. Thank you!
Without a doubt, Mr. Kim is the best resource for anyone looking to raise their SAT scores. The years of experience that he’s had is what makes him a really great teacher; he understands the SAT outline better than any other SAT prep courses/tutors out there. Mr. Kim’s way of teaching is not only straightforward and easy, but his guidance is why he is such a great tutor to have. I greatly recommend Mr. Kim’s 1 on 1 SAT Prep course.
The first time I entered into Mr. Kim's room I thought to myself, "idk why my mom keeps wasting money on all these "great" tutors." Right away Mr. Kim kept it 100% real with me and said if I kept up my complacency I would not see results. He told me to start with his formulas and make sure I mastered them. My scores steadily increased. By the time I was finished my score had increased by around 400 points. Not only did he help me solve test problems but he also helped me organize my life. For that I am truly grateful.
Mr. Kim was always there to support me during my times of frustration and eased my anxiety about the college process. His passion for teaching and genuine made me want to work harder. I always felt welcomed whenever I walked into his classroom and knew I'd be given his undivided attention. The confidence Mr. Kim had in me aided me to be more confident in my own abilities. Mr. Kim is the most patient teacher I've ever had and I enjoyed every minute of my time in his class. Thanks for being in my life, Mr. Kim!
Studying with Mr. Kim has been a very enjoyable experience. Not only did I significantly improve my SAT score but he has also taught me many things about college, life, and myself. He has never hesitated to answer any questions I had and provided me with both knowledge and confidence. He has a specific set of grammar and math rules as well as an essay formula that will guarantee a significant improvement to your score. Mr. Kim is both a highly intellectual tutor and a trustworthy friend.
It’s not everyday that you meet a tutor and mentor who is as passionate and hardworking as Mr. Kim. I was lucky to find such a great tutor who taught me not only the tricks and shortcuts of the SAT, but also valuable life lessons that I wouldn't have heard anywhere else. While being completely honest with me about my strengths and weaknesses, he encouraged me and pushed me to be where I am today. His guidance through the SAT and college applications has made the whole process a breeze.
I couldn’t have reached the level I’m at without Mr. Kim. He is unlike any other SAT tutor out there, and trust me, I’ve gone through my fair share of tutors. In a short period of 30 hours, he helped raise my SAT score from a 1890 to a 2050! What sets Mr. Kim apart from other tutors is that he genuinely cares about his students; he’ll try his very best to get you where you want to be if you’re willing to put in the work. Sending me to Mr. Kim was the best educational choice my mom has ever made for me.
As a mentor, Mr. Kim pushed me to excel in whatever I participated in. From SAT to athletics, he offered advice and encouraged me throughout my high school years. I have experienced Mr. Kim’s humorous and intelligent personality, and I am extremely grateful for his constant enthusiasm. He realizes a high school student’s busy schedule and gives a manageable workload . I recommend Mr. Kim for all aspects of SAT, college applications, essays, etc. Although a busy man, he will always make time for you.
Mr. Kim was an excellent tutor, offering honest, valuable input about my performance as a test taker and overall student. He immediately identified my strengths and weaknesses, which helped me significantly increase my score. His essay formula, grammar rules, and math concepts made the SAT much less stressful. Mr. Kim supported and encouraged me as an individual, and I will definitely reach out to him if I need help with my college essays. Thank you so much for all of your help!
I took my first class with Mr. Kim through Skype. I never expected to look forward to the lessons, much less become close to the tutor himself. However, Mr. Kim has become an invaluable person to me. I walked into the test room feeling like I was about to play a game I knew I could win. And unlike other SAT tutors, I actually developed a personal bond to Mr. Kim. I left every lesson smiling, feeling as if I had just had a good long chat with a friend. In the end, my SAT score went up to a 2320!
Genuine is the best word to describe the entire tutoring experience with Mr. Kim. He really cares about each individual student and he definitely brought out the best in me. I can say confidently that without Mr. Kim's tutoring, there is no way I would have been able to receive a 1520 on the SAT. My critical reading and grammar scores improved significantly due to Mr. Kim's strategies, patience and persistence. Thank you.
Mr. Kim was not only a great SAT tutor, but also an amazing mentor who encouraged me to always do my best. Even during the busy junior year, I looked forward to our sessions because he never failed to share valuable life lessons that gave me strength and wisdom. Thank you so much for making me the student I am today.
In a compact time span of just 4 months, not only did Mr. Kim help me identify and fix my mistakes in order for me to do well on the SAT, but also he motivated me to work hard and accomplish great things. I learned various truths from him, but the most important is that my SAT score will seem miniscule compared to the other achievements awaiting me in the future. Thank you Mr. Kim for the 2330 from 1960, but more importantly, thank you for the inspiration I will continue to use for the rest of my life.
Working with Mr. Kim has definitely been a huge blessing. He was able to turn a raw, inexperienced student into a ready one. He understands the strengths and weaknesses of each student and instructs in the way that is best for him or her. More importantly, he makes a conscious effort to connect to his students in more than just an academic level. He really tries to make his students as comfortable as possible. He has been a great help and mentor and I definitely would not be where I am today without him.
Out of all the tutors I have had, Mr. Kim was by far the best and my favorite. He not only helped me raise my SAT score, but he also gave me the best life tips and motivated me to do my best. I always dreaded going to other tutors, but with Mr. Kim, I was so excited every time because I would learn something new each class and he always pushed me to reach my potential. Lastly, Mr. Kim’s SAT rules have helped me a lot, and honestly without those rules, I would not have done as well as I did on the SAT.
With Mr.Kim's lessons I was able to increase my score by about 500. In a way Mr. Kim became my mentor. He taught me several life lessons and gave me advice that would be useful along the way, providing assurance for me. He also checks up on his students and makes sure that they're doing well in their own personal life. And if I have any questions or if I need help in the future, to contact him whenever. Not knowing what to major in, I was inspired to pursue Industrial Engineering under his guidance. I am very grateful for being tutored by Mr. Kim and I know I will be contacting him soon.
Deciding to go to Mr. Kim for SAT prep and college essays has been nothing but beneficial. Not only did he raise my SAT score by more than 600 points but he also taught me valuable life lessons to help me through high school and the college process. He quickly identify my strengths and weaknesses and tutored me accordingly. For an overwhelmed high school student unsure of the future, Mr. Kim guided me through important decisions and helped me become a better student and person.
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.
I started tutoring with Mr. Kim in the beginning of my junior year, and I was definitely not great at getting the highest scores. Mr. Kim not only helped increase my score by a landslide, but also helped me gain more confidence. I also never thought I could warm up to admire someone so much, until Mr. Kim came along. We are very similar people, and I look up to him as an inspiration because of his wise and conscientious character. Thank you, Mr. Kim, for helping me to get the SAT score I wanted, but more importantly, being such a kind human that helped me to really reach my potential!
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.
Mr. Kim has not only helped increase my SAT score but also taught me life lessons that I will never forget about. He takes time to get to know his students on a deeper level rather than concretely teaching the material. His teaching style is like no other SAT prep teacher I've ever had before, which I really liked because it helped boost my score faster than I expected. He thoroughly went through every mistake I made and explained why it was wrong in the first place. I am truly thankful that I was able to meet a teacher as encouraging, patient and funny as him, and his genuine passion for teaching made me look forward to every one of our SAT sessions.
I’d like to thank Mr. Kim for not only helping me increase my score for the SAT, but also providing constant support and reminder of having a positive mindset. Mr. Kim has most definitely made a lasting impact with his memorable life lessons. He has shaped my SAT score AND my mindset in order to become a successful individual. I appreciate everything he has done for me the past several months. Truly an influential person, thank you.
With a low SAT score and limited amount of time, I believed that I was incapable of going to a university. Then I came to Mr. Kim, who found potential in me and put his every effort to bring it out. By studying all the material he gave and putting his words into action, I was able to drastically improve my SAT score. He has not only taught me how to raise my SAT score, but also taught me important lessons regarding college, family, life, and self-improvement. Mr. Kim is not only an outstanding teacher, but also an inspirational mentor and friend. I genuinely see Mr. Kim as a blessing and cannot thank Mr. Kim enough for all
As a junior, I felt an immense amount of pressure to get a high score on the SAT. I noticed through self-studying and trying SAT classes at other SAT places, my score was not improving. Mr.Kim, by far has an amazing way of teaching the SAT and has helped me immensely. During my SAT, I was more confident and felt at ease because of the way Mr.Kim had helped me. Mr.Kim also gives amazing life lessons that I will take and cherish forever. He has been a supporting and loving mentor during my preparation for SAT. Thank you for everything you have done for me, Mr.Kim!
I started at the bottom and I had no basic knowledge of math, writing, and reading. I thought I was never going to improve, but Mr. Kim guided me step by step and helped me improve. Not only did he help me improve my SAT score, but he also gave me knowledge of life lessons. Mr. Kim was so enthusiastic, and this motivated me to keep pushing through my journey. Through this college prep process, I have learned so much from him and I'm glad that I got to have such a great teacher.
Mr. Kim was so helpful in teaching me the ins and outs of the SATs. Without this I would not have been able to raise my score from a 1310 to a more competitive 1510. This 200 point improvement was only because of Mr. Kim’s study philosophy of quality over quantity. Not only did I improve in the academic field, but also in the decision making field in life. Without Mr. Kim, I would not be the same person I am today.
Mr. Kim has helped me a lot throughout my journey in studying for my SATs. Not only did he help with the actual content, but he helped me prepare mentally, and made the most fun out of the study sessions. He tries to create a personal relationship with every one of his students. I couldn't have done it without him and I am very thankful for all the real world advice he has given me.
After our first session, I immediately knew that not only would Mr. Kim teach me essential information for acing the SAT, but that he would be a mentor I would never forget. Mr. Kim never failed to go above my expectations every session, and I learned about essential topics in the SAT and methods on how to solve certain problems, information unavailable anywhere else. Because of him, I was able to change how I approached the SAT, increasing my score significantly. I also learned different approaches to life, often having scintillating conversations about how to be successful in the future. Mr. Kim, thank you for your pep talks, your smiles, and for being a constant source of inspiration!
Mr. Kim was a wonderful tutor, and he helped me raise my score by 130 points and significantly reduce the number of errors I made, all in only three months, meeting once a week. I felt much more confident going into the SAT because of the time I had spent preparing from both his hand-drafted practice questions and his practice SAT tests. Mr. Kim's years of experience make him very qualified, and his rules and tips helped me to have a solid foundation of knowledge before preparing for each section. Mr. Kim works with each student for as little or as much time as is necessary, and he creates a plan that is specific to help maximize work on weaknesses. I loved that we spent a good part of each lesson talking about whatever struck our fancy, and he treated me like an adult and equal, along with sharing sincere experiences from his own life. Thank you, Mr. Kim!
I was bad at taking SATs all the times. My highest score was about 1300 in the beginning of May 2018, but after I started to study with Mr. Kim, an exceptional mentor and teacher, on June, I started to get high 1400s to 1500s in just two months. It was not a miracle, but it was a result of taking his SAT classes. It has been a great honor to study with him.
By studying with Mr. Kim, I was able to improve my SAT scores and obtain valuable advice for college and high school. I was amazed by the quick increase in my score with only a few months of tutoring and the effectiveness of his teaching method. The grammar and math rules he taught were imperative to my success and only contained essential skills. On top of that, he genuinely cares for each of his students and encourages them to do their best. He was extremely patient and funny and I enjoyed every class I had. I can truthfully say that I had the best time studying with Mr. Kim and without him I would have been completely lost in the studying process.
Having Mr. Kim as my SAT tutor was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Not only was he able to bring up my score almost 200 points, but he taught me so many life lessons. Mr. Kim is a great mentor and friend. I always looked forward to my sessions to talk about what was going on in my life and he would always give the best advice. Mr. Kim's grammar and math rules made a crucial impact on how I looked at the SAT and ultimately led to my score increasing. I can't thank Mr. Kim for everything he has done for me. Thank you Mr. Kim for being a friend, mentor, and teacher. You are one of the most inspiring people I have ever met!
My older brother was tutored by Mr. Kim and after a great experience with him, we quickly decided that I too, would prepare for the SAT with him. My PSAT scores were not very good, but after tutoring with Mr. Kim I was able to get an excellent score on the SAT. Not only does he provide guaranteed score improvement, but he is also a great guy and I enjoyed talking to him about much more than just SAT. Mr. Kim is the reason my SAT score is higher than I ever thought it would be and more importantly, he spoke from his own experiences and taught me countless life lessons that I will take to college with me.
I was really skeptical of SAT tutoring before starting with Mr. Kim, but he went above and beyond just prepping me for the SATs. In each of Mr. Kim’s one-on-one sessions, he led me through clear objectives that ultimately reached an attainable goal. It wasn’t some far goal placed in front of me with nothing in between; Mr. Kim was there at every step with his experience to make sure I understood fully before moving on. He made the daunting task of improving my score much less stressful and uncertain. As a mentor, he was always eager to converse about life experiences that both guided and made me laugh. Mr. Kim is definitely a one of a kind mentor who effectively teaches, and at the same time forms a unique trust between his student. Thank you so much Mr. Kim!
Mr. Kim, to me, was so much more than an SAT tutor. He was a mentor, a friend, and a coach who provided me valuable lessons that were actually applicable in my life throughout the year. At first, I thought he would be like other typical SAT teachers who give out laborious tasks, but I soon found out that he was not. Mr. Kim’s way of teaching only required a minimum amount of time, and the rules he taught were simple and easy to understand. Yet, its result was more effective than that of others. Talking from his own experience, Mr. Kim built personal relationships with his students. It was evident that he cared for each student as if they were his own children. Mr. Kim made the class so enjoyable, and I always looked forward to going to the class. I would like to sincerely thank him for everything he has taught and shown me this past year.
Mr. Kim has been patient and encouraging ever since I started SAT prep with him. I always had a hard time figuring out how to study efficiently, but with his rules and practice tests, I could see my scores improving with each test I took. His lessons are so much more helpful than what I have seen on “official” SAT prep courses. Mr. Kim’s help has been invaluable to me throughout the entire college application process as well. Without him, I would have been completely lost in a sea of applications and supplemental essays. He is always honest, but never flat-out discouraging. I always looked forward to hearing his stories, most of which hold important life lessons. Mr. Kim will always be willing to help you and answer your questions as long as you show him that you are striving towards your own goals. I truly appreciate all of the support and advice he has given me, and I know that I can ask him for help anytime I need it. Thank you so much for everything, Mr. Kim!
Throughout the process of studying for the SAT and preparing college applications, I had many tutors and taken many courses. Mr. Kim is an exceptional mentor and the best tutor I’ve had. Having one on one tutoring with Mr. Kim was extremely beneficial. Mr. Kim is very patient and understanding. There have been many times where I have been completely confused and Mr. Kim was always been willing to explain things as many times as it took for me to understand. My score went from about 1050 to 1180. That might not seem like a big jump but, as a person who has problems with double vision that makes my reading speeds and comprehension skills drastically lower, it was a world of a difference for me. Mr. Kim’s SAT tutoring and college essay help were crucial to my success. I am so grateful that I had the help and a mentor who believed in my abilities.
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.
Going into my first lesson, I felt extremely overwhelmed and anxious preparing to take the SAT and beginning college applications. But with Mr. Kim’s guidance and support, I was not only able to increase my SAT score but also find a mentor who genuinely cared about my identity outside of being a student. His study methods are efficient and targeted to your individual weaknesses and you will always leave feeling confident in your abilities. Thank you Mr. Kim for your honest advice and for helping me focus on what is truly important in education and in life. You have been invaluable to me as a teacher and as a mentor.
At the start of my junior year, I was crammed with school work and dreading studying for the SAT. I went to my first session with Charles Kim thinking that I would just be waiting for it to be over the whole time, but found myself disappointed when it was. Unlike any other tutor I have had, Mr. Kim takes the time to truly connect with his students. I looked forward to seeing Mr. Kim each and every week this past year because, not only did he help me master the SAT, but he also provided great wisdom that helped me conquer many of the other challenges I faced in my junior year.
I always admired my older brother’s experience and relationship with Mr. Kim, and I went into my first class with high hopes. Not only did Mr. Kim help me raise my SAT score drastically, but he also continuously motivated me to be the best version of myself. He taught me important life lessons, listened to me like a friend, and led me like a mentor. He never once gave up on me and for that, I am genuinely so thankful.
Taking SAT classes with Mr.Kim has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Going into my senior year I was extremely worried about college apps and SAT, but Mr. Kim walked me through the process and encouraged me to have a positive mindset. His teaching methods were effective and his classes were truly enjoyable. Mr. Kim helped raise my scores and I have to say I would not have been able to do it without him! I am so grateful for the time I was able to spend learning from him. Thank you so much!
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.
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.
Mr. Kim provides a unique approach to mastering the SAT, and as a result, his tutoring has helped me reach my target score. Along with helping me with the SAT and the beginning of my application process, he has taught me important lessons outside of just college admissions. Mr. Kim's style of tutoring made studying for the SAT not at all time consuming, and because of this, I have learned the importance of time management. I also enjoyed talking with him before class about anything, from what our favorite month of the year is to what makes a successful business. Because of the conversations I’ve had with him and the advice he has given me, I looked forward to every class I had with Mr. Kim. He has not only been an excellent teacher and adviser, but he has also been a great friend. Words cannot describe how much I have learned from you, Mr. Kim, so all I can say is thank you!
Mr. Kim is the kind of exemplary person who you will never forget. He is more than a SAT tutor. He is an irreplaceable mentor and a friend. Before my classes with him, I was worried if I could even get a good SAT score. But he always had faith in me even when I didn’t. He challenged me to think further, work harder, and dream bigger. For that, I can never thank him enough. Trusting him was vital in getting the SAT score that I wanted and I will never regret taking his classes. Every fun conversation we had to the important life advice that he gave was valuable to me. Wherever I may go, I will always remember the choices I will make because of his guidance. Getting me over the obstacles, having faith in my abilities, and having the skills to get me to where I needed to go, thank you so much Mr. Kim!
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!
My name is Luke Jantac. I am an 11th grade student at Marriotts Ridge High School in Marriottsville, Maryland. I started studying for the SAT with Charles back in September of 2020, and I could immediately sense his care for me as a student and as a person. Charles exceeded my expectations with his knowledge of the SAT, tutoring me on little tips and tricks that I could do to improve my score. His teaching plan worked to perfection. He started me off with explaining the general rules for math and English, then completing practice problems, and then finally working on full length practice tests. Charles accurately analyzes the correct pace to go at and effectively incorporates practice tests into the studying. With Charles, I exceeded my SAT goal score by 70 points. I am very grateful to have been able to learn from him these past few months. He has been a great teacher and mentor who has made me a better student, and a better person.
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.
Mr. Kim is efficient and productive in his SAT preparation for his students. He has key strategies that have helped me understand core SAT concepts and improve my score quickly. Through Mr. Kim’s guidance and intuitive study approach, I was able to ultimately reach my dream SAT score. In addition to dramatically increasing my SAT score, Mr. Kim kept SAT classes fun and engaging to be in. His life advice and genuine care for his students made SAT classes even more fulfilling.
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.
I waited several months in order to book my sessions with Mr. Kim and it was worth the wait. His expertise is unmatched anywhere else. The concepts he teaches for SAT are unique and highly successful. He raised my SAT score by 250+ and taught me so many valuable skills. Not only did he help me in testing skills, but he also helped me in my life. He truly does care about his students and it shows. From the very start, I felt comfortable talking to him about my problems, and he guided me through decisions about my family life. I hope to continue our relationship for years to come.
I viewed SAT Prep with Mr. Kim as just a way for me to stay accountable in my studying -- Little did I know that I would receive so much more than just accountability! The improvement I saw in my performance reflected not only the strengths of the practical tools Mr. Kim provided, but also the effectiveness of his encouragement as a mentor. I deeply appreciate his genuine passion to guide his students in all aspects of life.
Prior to working with Mr. Kim, I had only heard and read other students’ testimonials and was honestly reluctant to believe that such claimed progress was possible. However, after working with Mr. Kim, I can confidently say that CK Education provides one of the best SAT prep resources out there. He shows unconditional support in all parts of the process and is deeply sincere in his mentoring, so much so that progress was just inevitable. Not only did he give helpful advice regarding SAT skills, but he also shared valuable life lessons that have inspired me in more than just a couple of ways. Despite this stressful and chaotic high school season, Mr. Kim’s guidance and understanding have made him into a mentor and friend that I greatly look up to now and always. Thank you, Mr. Kim!

I feel incredibly fortunate to have had Mr. Kim as my SAT tutor. Beyond being an exceptional educator, Mr. Kim became an irreplaceable mentor and friend. At my very first lesson with Mr. Kim, he told me that I could achieve great things. For a while, I was skeptical of my ability to test, but with his unwavering faith in my abilities and his encouragement to dream bigger after every milestone, I was able to achieve the SAT score I dreamed of.

I truly appreciate Mr. Kim as not only a mentor, but also a friend I was able to talk to each week.
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!
