Professional, Supportive, and Truly Valuable Guidance
We sincerely appreciate the guidance and support provided by Zenith Prep Academy (Educational Strategist: Daniel Klein) throughout the year. As a family new to the college readiness process, we greatly valued the clarity and direction offered at every stage. Daniel helped my son make thoughtful course choices, balance academics with outside activities, and stay focused on meaningful progress. The monthly check-ins were especially helpful, as they provided space to discuss achievements, challenges, and next steps. We are truly grateful for the professionalism, encouragement, and positive impact on our son's academic journey.

Thank You!
Thank You!
Dear Elizabeth,
We wanted to thank you for all the guidance and support you provided throughout the college application process. Your insight, patience, and dedication made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel manageable and even exciting.
We genuinely appreciate the time and care you invested in every step—from shaping applications to offering thoughtful advice and encouragement. Your efforts played a meaningful role in helping Adam navigate this journey with confidence and achieve such a great outcome.
You took the time to understand who he is and helped him present himself in an authentic and confident way. Watching him grow through this experience has been incredibly meaningful, and we know that your support played a big part in that.
Seeing him get into a school that once felt like a “reach” is something we will never forget. Thank you for caring as much as you do and for being such a positive influence during such an important time in Adam’s life.
Thank you again for everything you have done. Your impact goes far beyond the applications themselves, and we are incredibly grateful.
Many thanks as well to Zenith Prep Academy for hosting such an effective and supportive program!
With sincere gratitude,
Anita and Adam

Highly impactful and caring mentor
Daniel has been an exceptional mentor, and my daughter has truly valued his guidance over the years. High-school is both fast-paced and demanding, and his advice has provided her with much-needed clarity and perspective.
He has played an important role in helping her navigate both academics and extracurricular commitments, encouraging her to stay focused while maintaining a healthy balance. His thoughtful insights and steady support have made a meaningful difference in her growth and confidence.
We are very grateful for the positive influence he has had on her journey.

Strategic, Supportive, and Results-Driven
We began working with Yohan Ahn during our son's sophomore year, and we are so glad we did. Yohan took a long-term, strategic approach from the very start — building a thoughtful school list tailored to our son's strengths and interests, and consistently keeping him on track with deadlines and milestones over multiple years.
What truly set Yohan apart was his proactive guidance beyond just applications. He recommended meaningful summer project opportunities that helped our son build a stronger profile and develop real skills — something we hadn't even thought to look for in a college counselor.
The result speaks for itself: our son was admitted to the University of Washington's highly competitive Computer Science program. We couldn't be more grateful for Yohan's dedication, expertise, and genuine investment in our son's success. We would wholeheartedly recommend him to any family navigating the college admissions process.

Joining Zenith has been best experience guiding my two boys through high school years. In addition to academic profile they provide useful insights and step by step guidance through college applications, exploring all possibilities to get the best results possible for our children.

Strongly Recommend Zenith
We feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Zenith College Prep for nearly four years. Our daughter was paired with a truly dedicated and caring counselor, Ian, who has been an instrumental part of her journey from the very beginning.
Ian’s guidance was consistently spot-on. He provided expert advice on everything from choosing between IB and AP courses to selecting meaningful extracurriculars and summer programs. Beyond the logistics of college prep, he truly cared about our daughter’s personal development, offering the kind of encouragement that built her confidence. He also went the extra mile for us when we hit roadblocks with a summer program completion, stepping in to resolve the challenges professionally.
One of the most valuable things Ian introduced was the concept of "defensive vs. offensive strategy." It was such an effective way to approach the process that it has actually become common vocabulary within our family!
We also want to highlight the professional editor we worked with, Paisley. She was incredibly thorough and credible, providing the kind of high-level feedback that gave us complete peace of mind. Beyond her expertise, she was so friendly and easy to work with, making a stressful writing process much more manageable for our daughter.
The Results:
Fast forward to today, and our daughter has been accepted into several of her reach schools!
In a wonderful full-circle moment, she has committed to the same alma mater as Ian. Sharing that celebration was a truly delightful experience.
As first-generation American parents, navigating the complexities of US college admissions felt overwhelming at times. We strongly recommend Zenith to any family looking for high-quality, personalized guidance.
Thank you, Ian, Paisley, and team!
