Pittsburgh Prep

We had engaged Pittsburgh Prep for our Daughters College applications and were thoroughly impressed. The teachers especially Hoon and Cara were very easy to get along with and ensured that they got the best out of our daughter for the application process and essays. The approached it in a structured manner and spent enough time to understand our daughter.
Thank you!

Hoon and his team have been exceptional. We have relied on them for SAT prep, ad hoc tutoring, and college admissions guidance. They have been invaluable partners in helping us navigate an increasingly complex process. Recommend without hesitation.

Hoon is an awesome and energetic teacher. My son got the score he wanted with just 5 tutoring sessions.

I am very happy with the help I received at Pittsburgh Prep. I worked with them for only 3-4 weeks and my SAT score jumped 100+ points. I was extremely happy from the results that I got after working with them. It was 100% worth it and I recommend it to anyone wanting to improve their standardized testing scores!

We have been very happy with Pittsburgh Prep for both of our girls. The quality of teaching and test preparation are superb. They teach the kids how to manage the exam instead of memorizing facts. Thank you!

My daughter attended the summer group session for SAT and immediately saw her score increase by 150 points! She absolutely loved Hoon’s teaching and was able to connect to him right away. She found his teaching much better than Khan academy. Subsequently she attended 1-1 sessions with him for a few months and her score increased by another 110 points. We are extremely grateful to have met Hoon and Pittsburgh Prep in Pittsburgh. He is an incredible teacher and motivator and absolutely THE best!

The owner is not very nice. I’ve met him a couple of times and he has always come off as very arrogant. I wouldn’t send my students here because of that. He also is not one to take responsibility for his actions and his response to this shows that.

We reached out to Pittsburgh Prep initially for my daughter's SAT. Her coach was excellent and helped raise her score around 200 points! We were very pleased with the results and they aided in the college process as well. The team at Pittsburgh Prep made the whole process much easier. I would highly, highly recommend Hoon and the whole team! My daughter got accepted to one of her dream colleges in a competitive admissions cycle and could not be more pleased with how things turned out. Everyone is extremely kind and professional. Thank you for your help!

We reached out to Pittsburgh Prep in late July for help with my daughter’s college essays. Within a week after our introductory session, Hoon assigned my daughter to her essay coach. The coach was very good with working with her to determine which of her experiences was the one to feature for her main essay.

Due to staffing changes, my daughter switched to Hoon as her essay coach midway through her sessions. It was a seamless transition. He jumped in and carried her the rest of the way. I listened in on some of the sessions and they were very good. He was patient during the writing and rewriting process and offered some clever insight and suggestions that made her essay very strong.

I would highly recommend Hoon and his staff. They are pros in the ultra competitive college admissions industry!

Awesome and Wonderful Tutors!
My daughter got English classes from Pittsburgh Prep for one year. She felt comfortable and motivated with the two tutors Sarah and Emily. She was able to easily understand and put into practice the skills Sarah and Emily shared. The increase in scores was significantly.

I got a 1550 SAT after doing the summer intensive program. If you want your child to get a high SAT score, you should bring them here. All the staff are really nice as well.

A fun and interactive Prep center!
All the teachers were very experienced.
Was worth every penny, I raised my score my 200 points!
Highly recommend.
