    As someone who has worked with her for over a year and plan to continue to do so, I highly…read morerecommend choosing Christi Barb, PhD. She is not only knowledgeable and practical, but has also had a tremendously positive impact on me. As an immigrant whose first language is not English, working in an English-speaking environment is challenging and frustrating. She not only helped me improve my accent and pronunciation, but also taught me how to communicate without feeling discouraged. I started the journey with her when I doubted whether I could handle my job as a healthcare worker die to the high communication demands. She made it possible and positive. I finally overcame my anxiety and found confidence. Progress doesn't happen overnight, so consistency is key. With her guidance, it is absolutely achievable.

    I truly enjoyed Christi's lessons--she's the best! Attending her class was the first time I learned…read moreabout prosody and pronunciation, which were entirely new concepts for me as an English learner. For the first time, I felt that English could be as beautiful as music, and it really motivated me to keep learning. Christi has an incredible ability to identify my mistakes and guide me with recommendations to improve my pronunciation. She's so patient and encouraging. She creates a stress-free environment where I always look forward to the next class. Thanks to her, I've noticed significant improvement in my skills, and I feel much more confident speaking out loud. She's also incredibly generous, having voluntarily hosted meetups for years and providing us with countless resources. I can't thank her enough for all her support. Christi was recommended to me by a friend, and I would absolutely recommend her to others, including you, so we can all benefit from her amazing teaching.

    North End

    Are you ever on a random journey in a new town and open to new ideas and experiences???? That was…read moreus on this very cold but sunny day in Boston. We were walking from the north end after getting fresh pastries from an amazing shop ( See my other Boston reviews) when we saw a small historical sign explaining the history of North Bennet Street School. It was bustling as we curiously peered in. As we continue to walk up to the corner where we spot a sign for an open house at the school. We immediately turned around and went back. The lobby and staff were so welcoming! They got us checked in and answered a few of my questions. They gave us a low down and a map. Each area had us exploring and listening to the enthusiasm spilling from the students. It was really interesting and inspiring. Each presentation was so specialized and well organized. We spent a good chunk of time learning about the complexity of pianos, paper making, hand bound books, architecture and more! Another highlight was talking to an older gentleman who was a first year silver smith ( yes it was super cool) who was putting the finishing touches on a ring just as we walked by. He took the time to show us all of the steps from a rod of silver to the dazzling finished ring!!!! My feedback is that they should a season or two of web series showing their talents to the world. It would also be a great STEM connection for education. So many talents and interesting people in the area. Highly recommended. I'd love to attend a class or two here!

    Unprofessional is an understatement to describe how the North Bennet Street School handled my kid's…read moreapplication. The admissions committee ghosted my student after they completed all the admissions requirements in time for the priority deadline. My student received an email confirming their materials were submitted in time for the priority deadline. Following an interview, there was no notification of acceptance, rejection or placement on a wait list. Zero. Weeks went by, and then months. My student sent emails to follow up, including to the admissions director. Crickets. We parents also contacted the admissions office and director to ask about our student's application. No response to very polite emails and calls. At one point, we got a human on the phone at the admissions office who seemed to be reading from a script, saying they were reviewing applications and would reach out if they needed more info. Six months have passed since the priority application deadline. Still no word -- except that they have the nerve to keep contacting my student with marketing materials. So, clearly they have accurate contact info. Even highly selective Harvard communicates with all applicants to let them know if they're in or out. Yet, NBSS can't get its act together to offer applicants the courtesy of sending a timely rejection email. There is something seriously wrong, in my opinion, with an artisan and trade school that charges $30K a year but treats prospective applicants and families in this manner. In my view, it's a big red flag, and I'd be curious to know if others have had similar experiences.
