Our experience with Language Door has been fantastic. We were at another language school before and…read moreboth my kids were unhappy. When learning a new language, it should be fun and exciting. I looked into Language Door and found our forever home. First, the owner Natascha is fantastic. She's multi lingual and very hands on. She loves what she does and it shows with all the students. She knows what teachers would be best for certain students. Second, I love love love Susan and Lupe who work as administrators. Susan is Hungarian and speaks so many languages, I can't keep track. She's kind, a world of knowledge and gives the best hugs. Lupe is smart, multi lingual and wonderful! Every student who walks in is greeted in the language they're learning. There are adults and kids learning Japanese, Arabic, Spanish, etc. The teachers are worldly, my kids love their classes and can't wait to go to school even on Saturday's. While I'm waiting for my kids I get to speak with all the parents who are lovely. Walking in I feel transported to an international setting where people are open minded, multi cultural and inclusive. I wouldn't hesitate making the call! Thanks Language Door for embracing the love of language!

I absolutely love Language Door. The teacher I have for my advanced Spanish class on Saturdays is…read moreamazing- extremely friendly, kind and very well educated and good at explaining and tailoring lessons to each individual student. What really makes this place stand out (and believe me I did my research) is that if you want to take a foreign language class with them you can sit in on a few classes before you decide to sign up for the new start date. The owner, Natascha is also extremely attentive and you can tell she loves what she does and goes the extra mile for her students and teachers. I am quite impressed with the level of service provided and it was more than worth it for the price! I plan to sign up for German & Arabic courses shortly after my Advanced Spanish course commences.

I just finished my first Spanish class in over 20 years with Areli at OCLI. Wow! This was nothing…read morelike high school -- we jumped right in and began learning in multiple modes right from day one. Areli is an incredible teacher -- I felt both met where I was at as well as pushed every day to grow more. What helps the most is that she uses multiple modes of teaching -- writing, speaking and listening -- in everyday real world situations. She broke down ideas that I spent months trying to understand (e.g. the subjunctive tense) in one easy to follow lesson. I can't continue taking another class right now due to work and home commitments this Spring, but I'm already eager to return. I know I would be able to learn what I need and grow into the Spanish speaker I hope to become if I do. Areli is an excellent instructor and I feel would help any student meet their goals -- she goes above and beyond and was always available outside of scheduled class time to review concepts too. I'd recommend her class to anyone wanting to improve their Spanish!

As I signed up for American Culture & Conversation and TOEFL, my teachers, especially teacher William, have been very helpful in my language/culture learning. Although I have been in the USA for about 6 years, I didn't learn as much about the American cultures and history as much as I have in the classes over the 3 month courses. We talk about different topics (holidays, history, politics, etc) and do practice TOEFL exams in class. The teachers are thorough, encouraging, and always think for the success of the students. One thing that is worth noting though is the efficiency of the office. I sometimes get last minute notice regarding class time change or request. Other than that, AOI is a fun and efficient place with great people and teachers. I wish we can go back to in person class when everything is safe.

Price: $280 a year. (Cash or check only. No credit card)…read more Schedule: School runs from September to June and is held every Sunday. They have morning and afternoon classes. My daughter is in the morning class 9:15am-1145 am. I believe the noon class is from 12pm-230. Parking is small and limited and lots of parents double park and stop in the middle of the parking lot. I recommend parking at the neighborhood and walking in. Pros: price includes book, folder, notebook, pencil, and shirt(uniform). Basically everything your child needs. Lunch: lunch is 20 minutes. At lunch they sell pizza ($1/slice), chips (.50cent), candy and drinks. Staff: teachers are good and my daughter is learning a lot. Overall, 100% would recommend.

Marco Polo is a wonderful school, and we're so grateful for the two and a half years our family…read morespent there. A special thank you to Kimberly and Jiang, who truly make the school feel like one big family. They create so many opportunities for both children and parents to connect and are always incredibly supportive. When Fiona first started, we went through some challenges with adjusting to school. Kimberly and Jiang were there for us every step of the way--not only helping Fiona feel comfortable and adjust, but also supporting us as parents and giving us helpful guidance on how to support her emotionally. That meant so much to our family. All of the teachers we've met have been warm and friendly, and the school is always well cared for. Teacher Tima and Paris are especially sweet and caring with the children, and Teacher Eric even introduces them to some basic Spanish, which Fiona really enjoyed. They also have lots of fun activities throughout the year, especially during the summer. We have so many good memories from our time at Marco Polo and would definitely recommend this school to other families.

Her vocabulary has taken off, she's genuinely curious about the world, and most importantly, she's confident in who she is. She absolutely loves going to school. The teachers are warm, passionate, and deeply care about the children. They create an environment where learning feels like joyful discovery. The curriculum is thoughtfully play-based and beautifully rooted in nature and the world around them. Marco Polo has played such a meaningful role in shaping who our daughter is becoming. We couldn't ask for more.

I highly recommend Poly Languages Institute!!!…read more I was planning to study English this spring, because I needed to improve my English, that can help my business get to the higher level and get confidence. However, I completely forgot about it, because of routines with my toddlers and business routines. A few weeks ago I realized that my legal status in the US was expiring and I didn't have a time to extend my current visa. I was confused and I didn't know what to do. Then, when I was walking with my kids, I found Poly Languages Institute right next to my home. I researched and found that Poly Languages has a business English program that will give me the opportunity to advance my business and be confident. They also have a great reputation. It is very important for me, because I would like to attend Business English classes. I viewed the school inside and I liked it. A lot of classrooms. Lots of space for students. Very lovely place. I was very happy that I found the place where I can solve both of my objectives. The other day I came to the school, where I met Melody and Jenny. They are very lovely and kind. They accepted me to their school and helped me to do all documentation work very carefully and professionally in a very short and limited time. I thought it's going to be impossible, because I asked for a help one week before I could lose my legal status, but they worked hard and made everything happen in the best way for me. It's unbelievable! I had a lot of troubles in the process of completing the forms, and Melody and Jen helped me again with the patience. I want to thank Melody and Jenny for your huge help and support!!! I really appreciate it!!! I strongly believe the Poly Languages Institute is the ideal place for me to achieve my goals and I can't wait to start my classes!!!

Stay away from this people. This is school is so shady and predatory. I can assure you all the…read morereviews here are inaccurate because they keep asking you to write one before you even start going there. They charge you in advance for a mediocre education, and when I wanted to stop going they stopped responding and wanted to keep my money. Wouldn't respond to schedule an appointment to figure out. They only listened to me because I showed there with an American man twice my age (I'm was a 21 year old woman at the time) literally saw him and changed their attitude. THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IMMIGRANTS and the fact that English is not your fist language. There are so many other schools. Save yourself the heartache and waste of money and don't go here.
