I am beyond grateful to be one of Cynthia's students. Cynthia teaches with passion and dedication, inspiring me numerous times with her brilliant knowledge of reading, writing, and grammar. Additionally, I was very lucky to have Cynthia guide me through my common app. She meticulously helped me to fully portray myself in my essays, interviews, and written responses. With care and expertise, Cynthia is committed to helping her students to reach their full potential.

The name of Beyond excellence education is extremely fitting. Cynthia is one of the most dedicated and intelligent teacher I have encountered. Under her guidance, I improved the English section of the SAT over 100 points, and I was admitted to Harvard.

Cynthia and the other staff at Beyond Excellence Education are all very kind and supportive. When I first got to Cynthia's class, I was averaging around 580-650 in my SAT English section. Around a year later, I got 770 on the real SAT test. The Summer Camp that I attended, although tiring, really helped no just in terms of SAT prep but reading and writing skills. If you put in the work and listen to Cynthia, coming here will yield great results.

Very rarely do you come across a teacher as committed and as knowledgeable as Cynthia. Having experienced both her SAT class and university counselling, I can confidently say that she was greatly responsible for my success in both of these areas. Starting out in her SAT camp, I improved from a 1270 on my first practice test to a 1560 on the actual test in less than 4 months. Her invaluable instruction provided me with tips and tricks to elevate not only my SAT score but my testing skills and language proficiency in general as well. In addition to an elite SAT program, Cynthia's university counselling is unparalleled. In my university application journey, I could always count on Cynthia's steadfast demeanour and vast knowledge to help me surpass any challenge I encountered.

From her continued support given to me during the arduous SAT journey, to the invaluable feedback she provided me with for my university essays, to always believing in me and pushing me to constantly be better, I can honestly say that she is the most influential teacher I have ever had. I often think of Cynthia as Ariadne's string, guiding me through the labyrinth that is university applications. As I embark on the next chapter of my life at NYU Stern, I realize that I owe so much to her and am forever grateful for everything she has done for me.

The summer camp was great. The class was not only informative but also enjoyable. Cynthia's class gives these useful tips and tricks alongside with providing - in an effective manner - the basic rules of SAT. Making the gradual improvements everyday makes everyone feel satisfied and accomplished, and I am happy to see everyone's jubilant faces every day in class. The upcoming AP econ class also sounds interesting! I have known that understanding some basic concepts of economics can be pragmatic in making some everyday decisions. Overall, I would highly recommend this class as it provides the best education money can buy in the lower mainland of Vancouver. Beyond excellence indeed.

My time in Beyond Excellence is truly what made the difference between entering a American school and entering a dream school. With the magic from the summer camp and Cynthia, who is indispensable to my entrance into NYU, my SAT score skyrocketed from lower than 1300 to 1530. Cynthia’s never-ending assistances and advices throughout my application all had a pivotal role that marked the greatest importance for my application. Based on the power that she had shown, I hold no doubt that she can turn rock into gold, and gold into diamond.

If you are trying to get into one of the top universities in Canada or the US, just come to Beyond Excellence Education. Under the guidance of Cynthia, it is not such an exaggeration to say that my university application journey has been transformative. From the SAT bootcamp to the hectic days of writing application essays, the guidance that I have received here are just simply invaluable. Beyond just being a university counselor, Cynthia for me has been a mentor and a friend. In all honesty, I don't know how she's able to continuously help each one of her students so extensively, and with such care. Sometimes, it feels like she's a miracle worker being able to send a bunch of rowdy kids into some of the best universities in the world. In short, just stop searching for another college admissions counseling organization and come here. I guarantee the quality and effort they put into each and every student. (I am currently attending arguably the best public university in the US)
