Hear From Our Students
My counselor brought out the most creative parts of me when we workshopped pieces together. Unafraid to be myself, I presented my most genuine voice in my writing while getting insight into the artistry that goes into great writing. My counselor is a wealth of knowledge, with so many crazy suggestions and ideas. It was a true honor working with him—I have come out of the experience with an improved capacity to write with a unique voice and think critically and creatively. I definitely finished the experience as a better person, owed to the incredible person my counselor is. Despite the stresses of this time of year, I would certainly do this all again for the opportunity to work with him again.
I learned and gained a lot out of the essay counseling process at Tokyo Academics. My counselor helped me decide on an essay topic and narrow in on themes and ideas that I wanted to highlight, which is what I think made my essays stand out. By the end of the process, my essays were genuine, well-written, and concise, and would not have been as focused or polished without the help of TA. Not to mention, My counselor was very fun to work with and always makes essay-counseling student-centered; it’s obvious that he wants what’s best for his students and wants to make the essay-writing process as enjoyable and engaging as possible.
I’ve had the privilege to know my counselor for around five years now, and he helped me get into both boarding school and college. I especially enjoyed working with my counselor during my college process because he made lessons worthwhile. Every lesson was both productive and fun; we would get more than enough work done while leaving room to catch up every time we met. Most importantly, these essays got me into my first choice college early!
I highly recommend TA’s essay counseling! College essays are often overwhelming, but this counseling definitely reduces the stress and helps you to write what exactly you are trying to tell. Additionally, throughout the counseling, I was able to figure out what I really want from a college education, and I’m grateful that I chose TA!
From English papers to college applications and even occasional STEM help, I can’t thank my counselor at Tokyo Academics enough. I’ve encountered my fair share of teachers—the good, the bad, and the okay—but he truly made the greatest impact on me. He inspired not only me but also many of my friends, even when we didn’t make it easy. He was tough on me at times, and I’m so grateful for it now because he pushed me to become a much better writer. I owe so much of my self-confidence and accomplishments to him. I don’t know where I’d be without his guidance. He was more than just a tutor, and I’ll carry his lessons with me wherever I go. I’m truly thankful for his unwavering belief in me and for showing me what I’m capable of.
I’m incredibly grateful for everything my counselor has done for me. He was not just a tutor but truly a mentor, motivating me to put in the work to reach my goals. He taught me that success isn’t instant—I needed to envision my goals, set smaller checkpoints, and not be afraid to fail. Even though I’ll be leaving Tokyo, I’ll always remember those grind sessions.
TA has been my ultimate support throughout high school and it gave me tremendous academic and emotional support. It is an environment that pushes me beyond what I thought was possible but also gives me comfort through care and guidance. It has made me more confident in my capabilities while giving me the ambition to reach higher. Thank you for creating this environment for me, other students and many more students to come. I will always credit my high school success to TA and continue to appreciate the care it puts into every individual. I’m sure I will continue to rely on TA for many things and I am excited to continue this journey of achievements together! Thank you so much! See you at graduation!
I can’t believe I’m graduating already! It feels like just yesterday I was attending the SAT® class at Tokyo Academics during the summer. My consultant single-handedly changed my life—no exaggeration. I remember our first conversation about my university goals and future plans, and the look they gave me when they saw my sophomore year grades, haha! From the bottom of my heart, I truly want to thank my consultant for never giving up on me. They were the greatest role model I could have asked for. Thank you for shaping me into the person I am today.
I can say with certainty that my consultant has had the single most significant influence on my high school career. Ever since our first AP® World History DBQ lesson and the group class sessions that followed, he has given me tremendous support and guidance in every way possible. It was a major turning point in my life (haha, get it?). He made me genuinely enjoy learning, and I looked forward to our weekly AP®WH group lessons. Thanks to his incredible teaching, I did really well in the class.
It didn’t take long before I came to rely heavily on his wisdom. I’ve never felt as comfortable or honest with a teacher-like figure before, and I believe it’s because he shows an unmatched level of care. I constantly found myself thinking, ‘What would he tell me to do?’ His influence extends far beyond the classroom at Tokyo Academics—he’s become a part of the way I think and make decisions.
So much of my success is owed to the academic and emotional support he provided. I can confidently say I have learned more from him than from any other teacher or counselor. His commitment to his students’ happiness is inspiring, and it’s incredible to see how tirelessly he works to share his immense knowledge with us.
I would highly recommend Tokyo Academics tutors for high school students looking for outstanding SAT®/ACT prep or application essay coaching. Our tutor was sharp, knowledgeable and knew how to focus on what my son needed to accomplish for him to succeed. My son had great results working with him.
