This is because her classes are tailored to your individual needs. Maryluz makes class fun-- rather than focusing on memorization or textbook exercises, her classes are conversational and it makes for a natural learning flow. She finds creative ways to introduce new vocabulary and tenses, which makes learning interesting and engaging. Not only is she an amazing teacher, but she is also a very kind person. I am so glad I started taking Spanish class with Maryluz and have already recommended her to friends in the area. Thank you, Maryluz!

I have been part of Centner Academy since the very beginning, and it has been amazing to watch the…read moreschool grow and evolve over the years. What makes this school so special is that every child is truly seen as an individual and supported not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well. The teachers and staff genuinely care about their students and create a warm, loving environment where children feel supported and encouraged to be their best selves. Learning goes far beyond textbooks through hands-on experiences, project-based learning, and unique programs like entrepreneurship, where students get the opportunity to create and run their own businesses. Centner Academy also places a strong focus on healthy organic lunches, a clean environment without harsh chemicals, and always looking for ways to grow and improve. More than anything, this school feels like a community. It's a place where people truly care about children and are dedicated to helping them become confident, capable, and kind human beings.

Brianna Sutton was a tutor for both my sons. She cancelled #1 appointment 38 mins before it was…read morescheduled. When #2 appointment rolled around she was very rude during their meet and greet hour and kept speaking over my son, not allowing him to speak. I tried a couple of times to tell her what he was saying and she began to silence me by telling me that she can only take answers from the child. To which I advised, I'm only saying exactly what he was trying to tell her. She proceeded to tell me that her volume is all the way up and she hears me clearly, so... It got to the point where my son stop answering her with his words and began using hand signals. During their meet and greet she revealed that she had been a elementary teacher for 8yrs -i cannot understand how. My 9yr old son, who is a people's person with an outdoor personality was very unengaged. She did not capture him in the slightest. She was more interested in using the 45mins they had together to tell him of her trips to Latin America with her family and her love for making music, then to to figure out how to capture my son's attention and keep him engaged. My goodness -I can go on and on about how badly the lesson went. Can you believe this woman began the lesson by yawning and telling my child she was feeling tired from staying up too late the night before RIGHT AFTER my child told her he was feeling EXCITING about starting tutoring. Then she had the audacity to cancel all future appointments with my child at the beginning of their next appointment with NO notice. The experience with this company has been extremely disappointing and unprofessional.

They are flexible and they do their best to meet your scheduling needs when you are not able to keep a set schedule (which should make sense for most but we have found ourselves between a rock and a hard place, with work and our son's school schedule).

We cannot say enough good things about them and we are absolutely grateful to be able to rely on their support. We highly recommend The Sunshine Method!

Attended an Italian cooking class via Groupon last Saturday at Cuisine Gourmet in the Gables. We…read moreexpected this to be an interactive cooking class, meaning we ourselves would be dicing and sauteing away but that was not the case. Instead, the cooking station is surrounded by a tall counter and bar stools and the group simply watches Claudio cook. Our group had about 12 people, all very friendly 20 and 30 somethings. Claudio started off explaining about different cooking and language classes the institute offers. We then indulged in some prosecco and antipasti (prosciutto di parma, olives stuffed with anchovies and chunks of parmigiana cheese). The first course was gnocchi with Gorgonzola cream sauce, accompanied by an Italian red zinfandel. It was simply boiled gnocchi out of a box and Gorgonzola slowly melted in heavy cream. Several people in our group were kitchen novices but if you are an intermediate cook you are well beyond this step. It could have been spruced up with some crisped pancetta or toasted pine nuts. The second course was rigatoni with a simple bolognese sauce. This dish was delicious and made me rethink my tomato base for my own marinara sauce. Claudio used Pomi tomato puree right out of a carton and it had just the right texture and sugar already added to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes. I will look for this stuff at Publix. For dessert, Claudio served a Marsala dessert wine and a chocolate hazelnut treat he brought from Italy, as well as some store bought panettone. The chocolate treat was somewhere between a block of chocolate and a really dense brownie. All in all, we had a fun afternoon and met some nice people. If you're expecting to improve your culinary skills, you will be disappointed.
