Learn MoreWhat People Are Saying About Top Student Academy
“Top Student Academy was the biggest turning point in my high school academic career that was able to skyrocket my grades, get me into an Ivy League, and convince UPenn to give me a grant to start my entrepreneurial venture.”
I remember being stuck at 78%-83% and not being able to improve for so long before I started Top Student Academy. Within 4 to 6 months I immediately saw changes in my grade. I was getting A's for the first time, which was a huge dramatic improvement.
Before attending Top Student Academy, I explored so many writing classes and tutors, and those did not work... because they absolutely did not train my critical thinking skills or analytical skills that Top Student Academy really focuses on.
The training put me in a different mindset towards conveying my voice in a very interesting and layered manner. I wasn't just making an argument by spitting it onto a page. At the end it didn't matter what kind of prompt I had, I was always scoring between 92% to 93% (and later 97%), which in my grade was unheard of (because Angel attended a top ranking academically rigorous private school).
It introduced critical analytical skills that brought me to a new level of writing. I found the SATs very easy to study for. I got perfect marks on the essay portion. I felt like I gained all the skills from analytical training with Top Student Academy. My writing was now a skill that I could use and bring to all of my classes (I got 93%-94% on AP US History & AP World History) because I was able to argue more succinctly and faster.
I graduated as one of the Top 10 students in my grade.
I did not get rejected from a single Ivy League university!
As an entrepreneur today, my critical thinking skill is the bedrock of my business.
Critical writing skills and writing to advocate for yourself is an incredibly important yet unique skill to each person. And I was able to develop that confidence through Top Student Academy. It changed everything for me. It opened up so many doors for me within university and post university.Â

“This is a long term investment you’ll make for your kids for academics, personal growth, and emotional intelligence development.”
My son’s grades improved from 86% at the time when he initially joined to 94% at the time when he graduated.
He chose AP English Literature when he was in high school, and got a 5!
He got accepted into ALL the top business schools (and graduated from his top choice college).
Critical thinking is the foundation for all university courses, so David did very well on ALL his university courses.
He graduated and was able to go through the fierce competition for getting into a Big Four accounting firm.Â
I think the most valuable aspect of your course, and this is also why I chose Top Student Academy versus other writing courses, is because you help students grow emotionally and develop their emotional intelligence.Â
The writing training itself is obviously very high quality.Â
I was amazed by the quality of the videos you developed!
It's very professional. Its high quality. Your explanation is so clear, so concise, and very logical.
I think investment in my kids’ writing is very important. I don't necessarily think it's for academics only. It’s also very important for their personal growth.Â
I think writing is a valuable investment that you can only do when they are at this stage of their life. This is the long term investment that you will make for your kids.Â
It definitely goes beyond high school. I could see for David, it benefited him for his university studies and I'm sure it will benefit him for his future career. It’s beneficial for him to get that training in writing, have those strong analytical skills, and develop that emotional intelligence.
David's training at Top Student Academy is very valuable. I think it provides very good training for critical thinking, For those skills, I think the training laid a very good foundation for their lifetime.

“I would highly recommend this course to almost ANY child planning to go to university.”
When I read her essays...I cannot believe her improvement! She now gets REALLY good marks in English. She improved from a 4 to a 6 to now sometimes a 7 (IB grading, equivalent to improving from 70s to 90s in one year).
She learned to methodically write essays… The student may have all the information, but you need to know HOW to put it down on paper. And this is what I think is the MAGIC of this course.
This course trained her to use a methodical way of thinking and gave her the tools to work through a problem logically …and even helped her science reports and math where you have to show logical steps.
I can see even in my casual discussions with her, she has also matured with the course.
This course built her confidence, and I will always be very grateful for that.

“To whoever is considering taking this course, I assure you that it will be a decision that you will never regret!”
What differs between [Top Student Academy’s] program and my previous tutors is the breadth and scope of the course.
This program really helped me prepare for senior level English classes, because of the strategies I got from the course. This included step-by-step processes for analyzing poetry, analyzing prose, analyzing novels, and writing cohesive synthesis essays.
I found that my analysis and critical thinking when analyzing texts improved a lot. This course really helped me think on my feet.
Through this program, I was able to boost my writing speed. In the end, I was able to write essays in under an hour, which completely astonished me!!
I am grateful because I had a head start because of this course.

“I’ve gotten this far in my career and a lot of has to do with the writing skills I honed here”
This class is very useful! I’ve gotten this far in my career and a lot of that has to do with the writing skills I honed here.
I improved from around high-80's to consistently getting mid-90s (in high school senior English classes).
I learned a lot about critical thinking and writing and learned a lot about how to analyze the writing pieces. And then how to convey what I am thinking properly and accurately on paper or in writing, which helps a lot in various aspects. I’m in STEM fields and you need to write a lot.
Definitely get started honing your writing skill earlier than later. I think it’s an incredibly important skill to have.

“I improved from 70s to 90s to 100% within 1 year! It’s a really drastic increase and I’m super happy about that!”
High school writers can really benefit from this course by learning how to identify deeper significance of texts and critical thinking.
Critical thinking is one of the most important transferable skills. You need it when learning ANY subject and in life.
Top Student Academy’s courses trained my critical thinking through teaching me step-by-step approaches to logical analysis and how to ask a lot of guiding questions.
The training taught me analytical skills by breaking down sentences, objectively analyzing perspectives, finding quotes and evidence to logically support your argument.
The training taught me a systematic way to break down and organize my ideas into well-structured paragraphs.
The teaching materials are very useful and engaging. It provides very condensed, concise notes that are super helpful! I still keep a copy of them now in university so I can review them for college seminars.”

Our Founder
Top Student Academy’s founder and TEDx speaker, Rene Wang, has been involved in defying the conventional way of learning and exploring out-of-box teaching methods since toddlerhood. She’s a big picture Systems Thinker who has been using and studying super-learning skills most of her life. She gave a TEDx talk on how students can use super-learning skills and mindset training to transform their learning journey and maximize their results.
Rene grew up with educator parents. Her father was a Fulbright scholar and an English Literature professor who authored 7 books. Her mother was an award-winning journalist with 16 published books under her belt. They started teaching her to read at 2 and half through creative, fun games they invented. By 4, she was reciting poetry and reading voraciously. She thus understands the power of using intellectual challenges to stimulate and shape cognitive development in a person’s formative stage. This became the defining belief she infused into the inventive curriculum system she later designed for Top Student Academy to facilitate similar cognitive growth impact in students like your child.
Driven to inspire and elevate young people’s performance and consciousness, she founded Top Student Academy, a world-class institution that specializes in higher level critical thinking, rhetoric, and academic essay writing training. For almost two decades, our academy has helped countless high-potential high school students like your child.
You’re invited to head to our testimonial page and watch our previous students and parents share their success stories. They discuss both immediate benefits (grades improvement) and long-term benefits that impact their lifelong success. Hope they serve as inspiration to you and your child, showing them what’s possible for them too!
