Our teenager was struggling in his French studies, and we needed to bring in some reinforcements. I should note that our son earn mostly A's on his report cards consistently, so this C- was of concern to him and to us. Jenni Butz has been a God-send as a tutor and guide for our son. When she started working with him, he was earning a C- or worse in the course. By the semester break, he earned a B. Best of all, his confidence is stronger, and we know he'll continue to do well as he completes French 4 this semester. We recommend Pacific Learning Academy and Jenni Butz without hesitation.

We've had a wonderful experience at Evergreen Montessori Academy! The Montessori curriculum is…read morethoughtfully designed and encourages our child to grow into an independent, curious, and confident learner. It's been amazing to see how much she developed both academically and socially through hands-on learning and self-directed activities. One of the things we appreciate most is the low student-to-teacher ratio. The teachers truly get to know each child and tailor their support to meet individual needs. It's clear that the staff genuinely care about the students, and that makes a huge difference in how our child feels about school every day. Another unexpected bonus has been the lunch program. Chef Renato prepare food that is healthy, balanced, and kid-friendly--and our child actually looks forward to lunch! It gives us peace of mind knowing she is being well-nourished during the day. We're so grateful to have found a school that aligns with our values and supports our child in such a holistic way.

It's clear that she truly wants the student(s) to get the absolute most out of her classes as she invests a lot of herself to help them reach their goals.

He spent over an hour with us, which gave me the advantage of having two teachers at once! I would highly recommend Kellie or any of her teachers to take your ASL / sign language skills to the next level!
