Zenith Prep Academy Testimonials

Eric Wang

After-School Program Owner

"Again, I have been in the child care business for over 15+ years, and it truly amazes me what Zenith is able to teach their students, especially in such an important topic such as business. Seeing the results and the analysis that these kids builds makes me very proud to recommend them. There is no other business school that I recommend. Full stop. It's Zenith."

What Students Learn How To Do

What students will be able to do and understand by the end of the class

  1. Project future revenue and costs ACCURATELY (doesn’t help if your numbers aren’t reality)
    • Learn how to do the same analysis that top venture capitalists use to make 33%+ investment returns by being able to project revenue and costs correctly
  2. How to create a business model and/or analyze if a business model will be profitable
    • Should you charge a subscription? Should you charge 1-time fee? Or a hybrid of the two? (Hint: Subscription is not always the answer.)
    • How should you structure your costs?
    • Will it make money?
    • Is my price too high or too low?
    • Am I really making money every time you make a sale?
  3. How to finally read and understand the 3 financial statements (it’s easier than you think)
    • Understanding this is EXTREMELY important (it’s like a car’s dashboard)
    • It tells you when to go faster and when to slow down before you get in trouble
    • It tells you if you should invest more money, or not
    • And if so, by how much
  4. Marketing is the lifeblood of making sales, but if you can’t analyze or calculate if your marketing is making you money, then you can’t significantly grow. Period.
    • Learn how to build an Excel model to tell you exactly how much money to spend
    • Learn how much you should spend per prospect in order to make money (this also will help with your advertising campaigns)
    • How to use Excel to analyze how to improve your profits
  5. How to figure out the value of your company?
    • This is important because the sale of your company is where you make the majority of your wealth
    • Why just saying “oh well, other similar companies sell for 1-2 times revenue” will make you poor
    • We will learn the 4 major methods to correctly valuing a company
    • And more importantly, the tricks that people use against you and how to avoid it
  6. How do you analyze if a new business venture or investment you’re making is going to make money before you start it or invest in it?
    • How do you do real due diligence and research to make sure you’re protecting yourself (hint, checklists don’t work)
    • How to structure deals so that you can make money even if the business is not that good
  7. How to use Excel to conduct detailed analyses to give you all the above answers (not just know where the buttons are)
    • How to use Excel to tell you what would happen under multiple scenarios, so that you always have a plan
  8. How to improve profits by identifying deficiencies and improvements in the business, and developing the correct solutions
    • Learn the analysis that Fortune 1000 companies pay tons of money to management consultants to do
  9. How do top venture capitalists and investment bankers always make money, and strategies that you can use

OUR REVIEWS

My son, 14 years old, took the Mini MBA 1 program last spring at this Academy and a Web Development (Front End) class this summer. Best investment of our time and resources we have been able to gift him so far! I wish we knew about this place before, when our daughter was his age. College choices and possibilities would probably be much wider for her...

These are some of the challenges we have been facing before discovering this program and the transformation we observed:

Our son has been a talented and creative fun child, who's enthusiasm about exploring possibilities has been steadily going down the more time he has been spending in a public school, doing homework and studying for good grades...

It got to the point that when he was interested (or when we were on top of his responsibilities), he would get straight A's- usually just towards the end of the school year, and when not interested or monitored constantly, he would get C's and even D's... Always getting distracted, forgetful and bored...

After only one class at Zenith, he got inspired not only about researching new possibilities, solving real problems but also, he got excited about life in general. He even started working out in the gym ( his own initiative!) and moving up in Kung Fu . A's were not a chore anymore but a natural byproduct of his newly found enthusiasm and confidence. His work was done still in school and we have been able to have very lively and mature conversations at home, including conversations about his business :-)

At the age of 14, my son has an understanding of business that many business owners like myself can be jealous of. He also became very good in negotiation and quite impressive at understating human psychology ( may it be a warning to you if you don't want your kids become confident and powerful)

This aspect is what I value the most about our experience with this place. We appreciate Mr. Song's generosity immensely. There aren't many people who will take time to listen to a teen as an equal, and help bring the best out of them in all situations... This is priceless to me. All of the people Mr. Song brings to inspire and teach at the Academy are high quality, educated, successful young people who are still able to connect with the teens but have a wealth of real life academic and business experiences, to help the teens dream and grow big.

I am very excited where my teen is heading. Thank you Zenith Academy!

Zenith Prep Academy five star yelp review

As someone who has personally taken courses at Zenith Prep Academy, I can definitively say that it's been one of the best experiences of my life. I have never seen a course so well-designed and well-executed like the ones offered at Zenith. Whether it's the instructors or the material itself, there is something about these courses that makes the student want to keep learning.

I took the web development and mini-MBA courses at Zenith and I was expecting to just learn the basics; however, our instructor taught us much more than I had expected. Not only did we master the basics, we dove into the deeper nuances of programming as well.

The best part about attending Zenith is that your instructors truly care. The class size is relatively small, so if there is something that is confusing to understand, help is readily available. Not only do your instructors care, but they are also super passionate. Believe me, you're not in a room with someone just reading a script or speaking in monotone. The instructors love what they teach and they are just as excited as you when they come to class.

If you're looking for a course that teaches you more than just the cookie-cutter basics found in a textbook, then Zenith Prep Academy is the place for you.
