Within a short period of time he was advancing through the reading stages. And the absolute best part is he was loving it! Now my 3 year old enjoys classes and camps with her also and she's quite the little book worm. The classroom is warm and inviting and she tailors each class to what they're needing each time. We've been coming here for 3 years and while my son is a much stronger reader and doesn't need that help as much, his handwriting is not great and she helps him a lot with that too. I couldn't ask for a better teacher. My hope has always been that my children grow up loving to read as much as me and they're both well on their way thanks to Ms Lisa and her business! It goes without saying, I recommend Ballantyne Reading Academy to all my friends!

My kids range from beginner reader, enrichment to remedial support and their work is always tailored to their individual needs. I appreciate the peace of mind this provides knowing the girls are in great hands and their lessons are thoughtfully prepared for and always organized. If you're looking for reading tutoring or just feeding a hungry mind - don't hesitate.

I enrolled my daughter for only less than 2.5 months. Today I asked her teacher (Mary Ann) why each…read morechild had an "excellent" on their assignments except mine. Her teacher's exact response was "I can give whatever grade I want to." And then proceeded to walk into my personal space and was less than 1 inch away from me. I told the director (Carla) and her response was that my child was academically behind the other children and she understands why the teacher would be upset. This is not the first time I have been dismissed when I ask about my child. I wish I could give a negative score. The communication is terrible, no information is ever sent home. No emails. It's like pulling teeth to speak to someone. They need to reorganize and take a class on how to speak to parents.

We and more importantly he loves the staff, especially Ms. J his main teacher. They have STEM and phonics-based learning and do not hold back students from learning because they are not fully potty trained. They teach, not just watch the children. When I pick him up and ask him if he had a good day, he always response YES! They have full doors on each classroom so that other classes do not interrupt each other. They also do not charge extra for sport activities, everything is included. We highly recommend the Learning Experience in Fort Mill.

The driving instructor experience was fine and I believe my daughter had a positive experience. I was grateful that they offered to pick her up at home and drop her off at school. The instructor was great to work with and was very flexible on scheduling. However, the customer service at the driving test could really use improvement. If we had to do it again, the dmv would have been the better option. Here are my improvement recommendations for a better experience at the driving test. Greeting: Don't do: How old are you? Do: Hi student great to see you, are you excited to finally get to the final step of getting your license? Is your parent with you? Process - before the driving test: Don't do: Make your client wait while you wrap up a call with an employee. (This wasn't a show stopper but have a feeling if we were late, we would have been reprimanded so when a client shows up on time, don't make them wait.) Do: Provide a simple explanation of the process including the purpose of the verbal questions that were already covered/passed on the written portion. In the explanation include that the questions aren't being graded and are being asked only to help when they go out to drive. This will help the student relax and not be so nervous. Do: Slow down asking these questions. Remember the student is nervous and even though these questions have been asked over and over again by the owner, the student is hearing them for the first time or it's been awhile. Don't Do: If a student answers these verbal questions incorrectly, work on the shaming facial expression of "are you stupid, we taught you this" and don't talk down to the student. They already feel bad they missed the question and they think it's being scored against them. Miscellaneous Don't Do: Try to prove the paying customer wrong. Don't let ego ruin the potential for a good customer service experience. Process - After the driving test: Don't Do: Skip the hug - it's not very professional and a lot of folks aren't comfortable hugging a stranger. Do: A professional congratulatory handshake would be much preferred and more business professional. Do: Include in the email with the certificate a "thank you for using A-1 Driving School. We know there are several options and we appreciate you choosing us for such an important milestone in your child's life" On our way out, I asked my child if she thought the experience was condescending. She said yes, but that was the way we were talked to throughout the 8 hour classroom session, so I was used to it. Up until the driving test, I had been giving glowing reviews to other parents looking for a driving school. I only wish the last step could have been a positive one.
