The owner of this "establishment" Nicki Davey is the most rude and angry person you will ever want…read moreto meet. She went on a HUGE tirade against me for asking what restaurants in the area do not allow dine-in but are still doing to-go. She described me as selfish for accommodating my housemates, one of which is very high risk for complications if they catch covid, and the other works at a school where they will not let you work if anyone you have been around shows any signs of sickness, and they would have to get a covid test before they could go back to work. She would not stop attacking me, even after I explained and asked her politely to stop, it was quite disturbing to see, and I would not suggest anyone use her services for any reason. I also noticed that she has a complaint filed against her and her company with the BBB.

First off, this place is very hard to locate. So keep your eyes peeled. Its literally off Lamar and…read more183, but more ON 183, not so much on Lamar. Second, I paid for this class for my fiancé and I tried several times to contact the instructor to let her know this class was not for me, called her several times and sent several emails and she never returned my call or answered my emails. She did get my message though as my fiancé said she asked him about it to confirm. Docking a star there as I would have appreciated confirmation straight from her. My fiancé learned a lot and felt the class helped him. The class is small, at 15 or so. The instructor kept the class engaged; she will ask you to participate but she also has videos to accompany her instruction. She keeps you very informed about alternative transportation in the Austin Area should you need some sort of DD.

Austin Free-Net (or AFN) is a nonprofit where you can really get to know your community!…read more The center provides computers and digital literacy classes to the underserved, as well as an IT program. There are a number of labs around the city in community centers, the M Station, Trinity, and the ARCH, to name a few. The staff at AFN are amazing!!! They really want you to come in and help them in the way that YOU want to contribute, unlike other volunteer gigs. As a trainer, I supervised labs, taught basic computer navigation skills and helped clients complete resumes, search for jobs and other resources, and apply for state benefits. In the office, I did research, put together events and public relations campaigns, and edited class curriculum. I also lent my hand in the IT dungeon, where all the nerds hang out. I would definitely recommend AFN as a place to volunteer. As the saying goes, if teach a man to use the computer, then he can use it to get a job. Here, you can actually do that.

I love how small the classes are and how amazing the staff is with the kids. Looking forward to a ladies painting night soon. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get their kids into art or help them flourish! My kids ask to come back every time!

If you are considering taking an adult class or sending your child to Cordovan Art School in Round…read moreRock, don't hesitate. You will not be disappointed! I can't say enough good things about this place. The front office staff gies above and beyond, especially Nancy, who has been nothing but kind and helpful. I've been taking an adult class with instructor Dotti Berry. She is an amazing teacher, instructing from the heart and sharing her wealth of knowledge and love of art! Whether it's fundamentals, techniques or color basics, she is right there to guide you every step of the way. I've taken classes at other studios that are not as good as Cordovan. It's not that those other places were bad, it's that this studio is so much better!

I completed the UT CELTA program in 2015 before moving to Spain. I found the program very…read morebeneficial in preparing me for the challenges of teaching English as a foreign language. I had no idea at the time how challenging and different the process is from other class room activities. I have taught technical classes in networking and video technologies over the past several years and thought that experience would have adequately prepared me for teaching English AFL but discovered the process is completely different. The UT CELTA program provides the tools to teach where a common language is missing. This can be frustrating for both the student and the teacher and having a toolset to bridge the missing and most common form of communication, speech, addresses and prepares the instructor for the specific challenges of teaching a foreign language.

It was absolutely a great chance for me to take CELTA at UT Austin. I enjoyed and learned a lot…read morefrom this course. The tutors were so supportive and helpful and I benefited a lot from their great feedbacks. The best part of CELTA was learning to manage my time more efficiently and making lesson plans in a very organized way. The UT CELTA provided me great job opportunities in Japan where I could apply the strengths and skills I gained in this program.
