​I personally attended Alpha Academy from my sophomore summer going into junior year, and believe it or not, it is the one place in all of my high school career that I can honestly say changed my life forever.
 
This place isn't like any of the others. You think you've stumbled upon your typical SAT/ACT place? Wrong. This isn't Elite, Prep 180, or any of the other SAT/ACT classes, nor does it strive to be like the others. This is a real gem o' the ocean, particularly, a shining diamond in an ocean of pebbles. 

Alpha Academy goes so much above and beyond the standards of a typical prep school, that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it will "rock your tops off". The teacher here, Mr. Kim, gives you so much more knowledge than your regular everyday teacher has to offer. He is charismatic, omnipotent, intellectual, caring, kind, and accepting, and he will teach you or your kid like no one else ever dared to teach. 

When I first came to Alpha, I didn't expect much. Not much from the teacher, not much from the classes, and especially not much from myself. I, like many others, was forced to go to a prep school from my parents. But luckily for me, I happened upon this little treasure trove due to a recommendation from a friend. Like I said, I didn't expect much, but in the 8 weeks that I went there in the summer, Mr. Kim has arguably taught me more and inspired me more than most, if not all of my "Middle School and High School Teachers" combined. 

I have never really been one to take to learning, especially in such presumably dry and boring topics like the SATs/ACTs, but through Mr. Kim's openly inviting nature, his loving and caring heart, and his overall passion for teaching, I eventually came to love the joys of learning and the pursuit of knowledge. His adamant refusal of any piece of work other than one's best set him apart from any other teachers that I had previously met (all of the which had accepted all kinds of bs work I turned in). He really is the best of the best, and although he won't necessarily admit it himself, I'd say he is one of a kind, a true treasure among treasures. 

Mr. Kim offers 3 different types of classes, in which he focuses on building up 3 different core areas of you or your kid's strengths. It doesn't matter to him where you start out; he focuses mainly on how much you personally try and how much you improve during your time with him. 

In English, he teaches you grammar and language structural tips and tricks that is guaranteed to help you or your child in one way or another. He snowballs your English vocabulary and writing skills by using weird, but super-duper helpful ways of memorizing, and helps you recognize what is and what isn't important information to know on the actual test. 

In math, he or one of his former student teaches, and they tell you the trick of reducing time on answering questions so that you have more time left over to check your answers or to tackle on another harder question. This helps you clear up your mind and take off stress as you hurdle your way right over those tough math problems that previously stumped you. 

In writing, he hammers into you a well formatted and refined structure for your essays so that all you have to do is follow his guidelines, use your brain a little, and the rest of your essay should fall into place. Not only that, but he also teaches you to reference famous people or quotes on your essays in order to get you that bonus point or two that just might make the difference between Berkeley, UCLA, or Harvard. 

And he isn't all talk either. The results speak for themselves. I went from a mere 1700 SAT score in the beginning, to soaring over the likes of my peers, to reaching my top score at 2130, all of which I currently owe all thanks to this academy. 

I would strongly recommend his teachings to all kinds of people of all different kinds of backgrounds to come here and to have the opportunity to truly learn from a master in the art of teaching. 

5 out of 5 stars. I'd rate it higher if I could. 
Would take his class again and again and again and again.
