Note: Cita Education specializes in SAT, Math, Physics, and mindfulness. For SAT we designed a very student centered curriculum that incorporate efficient, effective, and fun learning strategies to help students retain the materials. We also make sure that students enjoy learning at Cita. We managed to make students improve and create sweet memories at Cita. Mindfulness sessions are also incorporated to help students concentrate, relax, and hence become better test takers. We are very good in helping students who are not keen on Math and Physics, and in helping students who already have a good foundation to go even further. We accomplish this by giving the students a solid foundation, making the subjects relevant and interesting. For Mindfulness, we use a very comprehensive, structured and secular curriculum. It is a total of 12 hours of class that is divided to 8 weeks. We aspire to instill lifelong learning skills in students while helping them excel in school, and test preparation.

We chose Cita for the summer SAT course because class sizes are smaller than most other study centers and Mr. Chee values the importance of developing an inquisitive mind and how to learn/study/solve problems rather than pushing drills and rote memorization. He fosters a relaxed environment, thanks to his mindfulness approach, is very encouraging, and genuinely wants his students to succeed. But he is also realistic. It's nice that he takes the time to meet with students and parents individually re: goals, making sure everyone is on the same page, reminding students and parents that one will be able to get out of the program only as much as one is willing to put into it.
During class, there is some time for the kids to get to know each other and this was invaluable too. There seemed to be a healthy, encouraging and supportive vibe. Students openly shared their scores with each other and used these to set benchmarks for themselves. I think the socialization and bonding made the class that much more enjoyable - considering they were giving up their summer to study.
Weekly diagnostic tests were administered and they were reviewed during the week, along with structured teachings (books included in tuition) by Mr. Chee and other instructors. Feedback was given on every essay.
All in all, we couldn't have been happier with our experience here. My son's score improved over 300 points and we are ecstatic with his final score! Thank you, Mr. Chee!!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jazzy S.Dublin, CA04118Nov 21, 2019
I called several tutoring companies to line up SAT tutoring for my daughter and they never even called me back; but Chee answered the phone right away, he scheduled her tutoring sessions around her busy schedule and really helped improve her test score in the one area she was struggling: math. Thank you Chee!

I am grateful to Mr. Chee for his brilliant 1 on 1 Math tutoring. His approach is meticulous and encompasses mindfulness techniques. My daughter was previously struggling but got an A - grade in 8th grade Accelerated Algebra. Thank you so much Mr. Chee and CITA!

I'm very disappointed from my child SAT result. Don't think it was worth putting her in Cita and waisted my money. I would not recommend Cita for SAT prep to any of my friend and relatives. Very upset waiting my time and money!!
My other kid did from Elite and got high score.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mah N.San Ramon, CA2233Jun 29, 2015
It has been great working with Mr.Chee over the past year. Wish we had found him sooner. Both my kids are being helped by Mr.Chee and they have both been greatly helped by his style of teaching.
We have referred Mr.Chee to many of our friends as well as a result of our experiences.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Bobby S.Tracy, CA019Apr 15, 2017

Mr. Chee's SAT prep was recommended to us by some friends and we are so grateful to have found him! Our daughter received excellent SAT prep and instruction. Mr. Chee emphasized understanding the material vs. just learning rote instruction to get a high score. In the end, we were pleased with her high results and we are certain that her test scores helped in securing her some wonderful college choices. We would unhesitatingly recommend Mr. Chee's SAT prep course and thank him again for all of his help and instruction.

Mr Chee has been helping our daughter, who has a learning disability, with middle school math for several months now. She has become more confident, less resistant, and seeing her own progress with the material. Mr Chee has been a real asset for us.

My daughter had a wonderful experience working with Mr. Chee at Cita Education Tutoring Center. He helped her with Pre Calc as well as review and prepare her for the SAT Math II test. Not only did he accommodate her schedule but also did a great job mentoring her. He encouraged her and built her confidence level so that she can excel in the test. Mr. Chee's program is comprehensive, structured and designed to help students achieve success. He gives them assignments and practice test each week then mistakes are discussed and corrected in class. This method helps the students realize their errors and makes them more conscious about their usual areas of weakness thus improving their scores. Mr. Chee sincerely cares about each of his students. He will go the extra mile to help them do well. I will not think twice of recommending him and his staff.
