The standard in
academic mastery.
SAT & AP English · IELTS, TOEFL & Duolingo · Business English · ESL Conversation. Bespoke 1-on-1 online tutoring from a professor with 25 years of university teaching.
A tailored approach to high-stakes learning.
Every student receives a curriculum built around their goals — not a template assigned by a tutoring chain.
Tailored Diagnostic
We open with a complimentary 15-minute consultation to understand the student's goals, academic gaps, and learning style before any lesson is scheduled.
Professor-Led Instruction
Every session is led by Kevin himself — 25 years teaching at Kyushu University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong — not a rotating cast of part-time tutors.
Outcome-Driven Sessions
Personalized writing feedback, exam strategy, and a clear plan for each assignment. We measure progress in scores, drafts, and confidence.

Guidance from a university professor, not a tutor.
I'm Kevin — founder of Elite Prep Tutor. Over the past 25 years I've taught and tutored thousands of students at institutions such as Kyushu National University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, holding an undergraduate degree in History and Political Science and a Master's in TESOL.
Today I bring that classroom experience into a focused 1-on-1 setting over Zoom — whether the goal is a top SAT or IELTS score, a stronger essay, or confident English at work.
