I have studied at Chopin Academy for 5 years. Compared to the other places I studied from in the…read morepast, I can honestly say that this school has given me the best experience. The school itself is very well-kept, and there are many studios with nice pianos. The restrooms are clean and stocked, and the main room is very classy and comfortable for waiting before lessons. All of the instructors that I have met are professional and knowledgeable. The directors are kind and want all of the students in the academy to succeed. My teacher Ms. Tsirkel especially changed the way I felt about piano. She has grown to be a big role model to me, and her skill as a brilliant pianist, along with her gentle way of teaching has caused me to love piano and appreciate classical music.

He is very detail oriented, and make sure every single note sounds beautifully. Ross has great personality, taking classes with him is really fun. I got professional training when I was young but I never really enjoy practicing piano this much as I am now. Ivona recommended Dr Salvosa to me when I came to CAM the first time. She cares about all her students and she will recommend teachers based on your needs and personality. Very appreciated on that as well. Highly recommend this place!

911 Driving School in Issaquah should be avoided at all costs for teenagers. Here's the way their…read moresystem works. You sign up and give them $700+. They tell you that your student will have 15 Zoom lessons interleaved with 5 behind the wheel lessons. What they won't tell you is how completely understaffed they are for behind the wheel lessons. Multiple times per day, you will check on their website for any lessons available within the next month, and there are literally none. And if you are lucky enough to find one, they are during the school day. When you complain to the owner, he will insist that they have more than enough staff for the behind the wheel lessons and blame the issue on students' availability like this: "While we strive to accommodate students' busy schedules--including school, sports, and family commitments--some students may have too many external obligations to complete their required BTW drives within the State of Washington's Driver Training School Program Timeframe." He will insist that you can check the website on the 22nd of every month to find appointments, but every other registered student is also doing this, and I never saw an available appointment on that day. Then he'll tell you that students that are close to the 8-month time limit for completing the course are "prioritized" for their behind the wheel lessons. What that actually means is that the office just emails you in the last six weeks when your student's lessons will be, and good luck if you happen to have any sort of conflict. My son had to complete his course by the end of October, eight months after his first Zoom lesson. They were only able to schedule his last behind the wheel lesson for October 25th, just in the nick of time. The owner should be completely ashamed of how this business is being run, and it should probably be investigated by the state. I'm sure they squeeze most of the students through the program just under the eight month wire. But I would guess that there are many families that just get frustrated and give up. I think they're just counting on some sort of attrition to accommodate the lack of behind the wheel instructor availability. Like several reviews on here from parents of teens, the owner is probably going to respond with his trademark defensiveness, insisting that he has sufficient behind the wheel instructor availability to meet Washington State's minimum requirements. It's really sad that the negative feedback he's received from his customers has not motivated him to change his business practices for the better. He'd rather have you believe that his customers are all wrong. I assure you, they are not.

I signed my son up for a class in August 2025. Two classes in, I looked to schedule a practice…read moredrive only to be told that my son's drives would not be prioritized until February as they were backed up. This was not disclosed at sign up (they states there was an email, I checked all of my emails and saw none). They were dismissive of my concerns and assured my son would have enough time to complete before his birthday. However, that was not reassuring as I want my son to have as much education and practice in the permit year as possible. The owner unenrolled me and gave me back my money but that left us scrambling to find a new school. Some other school in the area also had delays in being able to drive - all except for Shield - who I highly recommend. This seems to be an issue after the summer. Moral of the story - as when your student will be able to schedule drives when you sign up.

Not only is our child speaking more German at home without being prompted, she also looks forward to her class with excitement every week.
