The lessons were fun and I think I learned quite a bit in the 6 months I went. I had one-on-one lessons; my teacher put together an good mix of theory and grammar, online resources, like webisodes and literature, such as easy to read beginner books. The coordinator checked in on my progress on a regular basis and asked for my feedback on what I enjoyed and what needs improvement. Overall a great learning experience! PS: my language was Spanish, by the way.

I am so disappointed by the way the staff treated us at Berlitz, ESPECIALLY the director. My mother…read moreand I made an appointment with the director at a specific time and when we arrived which was exactly at the given time, she wasn't even there! So we asked the lady at the counter and she called the director, what made me mad was that the director knew exactly when she had an appointment with us and didn't even bother to see us in time. It doesn't matter if you are busy or not but when you make an appointment with someone, you need to make that commitment. Plus the lady at the counter didn't even call her to hurry up or anything. We waited for a very long time, I got SO mad and just left. The director treated us like sh*t. PLEASE do not go here, the level of disrespect is unbelievably horrible.

I feel that it is important for them to be in a nurturing environment that promotes not only exposure to another language, but supports them as individuals. The small class sizes offer them the opportunity to participate and to be heard; it is indeed a school, not a daycare. The staff is supportive and keep parents updated on the children's progress. The children use their language skills and often try to test some of us in the family that speak Spanish, as well as correct us. "Si", I would encourage all parents who are interested in an immersion program for your children to explore this school! "Abuelita"

Teachers are great, but the who run the business, that happen to be the Director, is very rude and will not help or assist you when needed unless you pay for it. Expect lots of fees, no respect, and lots of students speaking in Arabic all the time, instead of English. Not the best place to have an American experience. They're trying to make me pay a $1000 fee for a contract that I didn't sign! Listen to me, this school is the last place you want to invest your money into. Find a different school!

My daughter just finished a reading intensive with RLLC. It was $5,200 for a group setting - less…read morethan 4 hours a day for 13 days. I had heard great things about this place. I have been reading with my daughter since completed the intensive and I see zero improvement in her ability to identify sight words, sound words out, or blend sounds. If anything, I feel she is almost more resistant to reading now and less confident. There is a10-minute meeting allotted after the intensive, for the lead therapist to fill you in - i was so looking forward to hearing what she had improved on and what to work with her on in the future. It was obvious that the therapist had not prepared to meet with us and gave us very general feedback ("she made huge progress, is a sweet child, we worked on cvc words"). I still have not received a report on what she worked on or her progress, or what I should be working on with her. The therapist did say, "i would recommend her coming back 4 days a week for the foreseeable future" ...why would I continue on when I have seen zero improvement and possibly backward steps of confidence with my child? I would guess this place was pretty great at one time... but now they seem interested in just collecting your money and going through the motions vs putting concentrated work in with kids. Also, i had to ask 3 times to get a superbill to submit to insurance, to try to get some time of reimbursement....in my opinion, that should be prepared in advance and sent out at the end of the last day, since you pay in full at the time of registration for the class.

I highly recommend the Reading and Language Learning Center.

This Yelp website has not been updated to reflect their move to Vienna, on the Spring Hill Metro on the Silver Line which is at least an hour and a half ride from Alexandria to the school out and back.

The idea of ear plugs for his sensitive ears. Picking out songs he likes so he can learn them with other kids. His teacher is great! And he is really enjoying it!

I don't understand this place. I got an initial call back to discuss how the place works, but then…read morescheduling a trial lesson was like pulling teeth-- calling, emailing, finally texting. Took forever. Got to the trial lesson only to be told the person we'd worked so hard to get wasn't available so it's with so-and-so. Uh. Fine, but we picked the other person for a reason. And booked another trial with the original teacher, only to get to THAT lesson and realize it's still not the instructor we'd been aiming for. While sitting during the lesson, another student walked in and was told "oh so-and-so is no longer with us so this other person will be your teacher today." What? So you're not told ahead of time? (The mom asked when they'd known this teacher was leaving and it was two weeks prior, but they didn't bother to give anyone notice.) I find it strange that you pay in advance for these situations. Anyway. It's too poorly managed for me, which is too bad because it is certainly a great concept.
