Our Testimonials
Also words of encouragement that I didn't know I needed. I couldn't be more grateful for the work Kevin, Jeff and ElevatEd are putting in. Because of them, I am the first in my family to attend college! 🙏

Columbia University
Class of ‘28
The ElevatEd team had been my cheer squad, helping me tackle university applications with excitement! Their detailed asynchronous essay editing and ingenious solutions to my roadblocks in Zoom meetings made the whole process a blast. Thank you to the entire ElevatEd team for turning my dream of getting into Yale into a reality!
Yale University,
Class of ‘29
The best thing about ElevatED is how personal it is. Most college guidance services charge exorbitant prices (sometimes over $100-200K!), but ElevatED has always offered discounts and fair prices for their hard work, which is incredible for both low and middle-class families. This team really cares about its students, and I would do it all over again!"

More Than Just A Consulting Firm
Kevin Zhen, Yale East Asian Studies ‘20
Co-Founder of the ElevatEd School
After watching his parents lose their jobs as restaurant staff during the COVID Pandemic, our co-founder, Kevin, picked up whatever work he could to help support his family.
In the summer of 2020, Kevin decided to pursue tutoring full time: in 3 months, he personally taught more than 120+ students writing, entrepreneurship, personal finance and college application fundamentals. He even launched the very first ElevatEd Incubator, an 8 week intensive designed to help high schoolers launch social enterprises and nonprofits!




More Than Just A Consulting Firm
Meet Our Co-Founder: Jeffrey Yu
Yale East Asian Studies and Computer Science ‘23
Confident that he could now pursue his passion for education while also not starving to death, Kevin embarked on a new challenge: recruiting Jeff!
Jeff previously worked as a software engineering intern at Playstation, worked at Ernst & Young as a tech consultant and served as a Student Ambassador to the Yale Admissions Office.
Fun Fact!
Kevin initially met Jeff at a breakdance practice at Yale and was immediately impressed by how Jeff took detailed notes of each move at every session. Not to mention Jeff's incredibly powerful story which helped his college essay get featured in the New York Times!
